Roadkill Season 11, Episode 3: Hemi Gremmie Fails, Race Truck Wins!

Pro Street Road Trip!

What is a Pro Street car? Basically, it's just a car with a tubbed rear end that allows for bigger tires. But this time on Roadkill, it means so much more to Freiburger and Finnegan as they take a big-block 1980 Mirada on a road trip to the site of the Street Machine Nationals in Du Quoin, Illinois. Is this Pro Street Mirada fast? No. Does it handle well? No. Does it look obnoxiously awesome? Of course.

Winter Beater Battle and Road Trip!

What do you do with access to a sprawling, deserted, snow-covered factory? You buy cheap beaters for a winter adventure battle and real-life road testing. This time on Roadkill, Freiburger picks the adventure and Finnegan picks the vehicles, a survivalist 2001 VW Jetta TDI and a horribly modified 2001 Toyota Sequoia. Find out which one survives the road trip to discover their next project.

Sick Week Trans Am Test Drive!

Always test-drive a car before you buy, or if you're Roadkill, wait until after purchasing. This time on Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan buy an '86 Trans Am and take it for its first road test on the drag and drive event known as Sick Week. With a swapped 350 V-8 and six-speed transmission, the big question is, will they be able to make it faster each day or even finish the race at all?

Dream Car Found and Rebuilt!

We all have big dreams for our projects, but sometimes we just need to get them running and driving first. This time on Roadkill, Finnegan and Freiburger attempt to get a bucket-list '66 Corvette-abandoned halfway through an LS swap and restoration-back on the road. With multiple iterations and attempts, the 'Vette hasn't been on the road for 30 years. Will the guys change that?

C2 Corvette Road Trip!

Last time, Freiburger and Finnegan put a bucket-list '66 Corvette together before a fire almost burned it to the ground. This time on Roadkill, Finnegan and Newbern light the tires as they road-test the LS-powered C2 from Oakland to Las Vegas with the smokiest burnouts ever seen. Follow along as they blaze the coast and hit the drag trip with Dulcich before breaking down in Sin City.

East Coast Junkyard T-37 Road Trip!

Would you take a '71 Pontiac T-37 that was once pulled from a junkyard on a Northeastern road trip? This time on Roadkill, Freiburger and Dulcich attempt to check off the final five states David needs to finally hit all 50 by taking their junkyard T-37 across New England. Watch as the T-37 hits the road-and the road hits back-before the guys leave their Roadkill mark in New York City.

Junkyard Chevy Tri-5 Rescue!

Should some junk stay in the junkyard? Maybe, but most cars deserve a second chance. This time on Roadkill, Finnegan and Newbern give new life to a '57 Chevy Bel Air that was pulled from a junkyard after more than 30 years. With the help of Flying Sparks Garage, the guys drop in a small-block V-8 and Turbo 350 to get the car back on the pavement for a bumpy road trip back to where it came from.

440 Dart Road Trip & Drag Racing!

The 440 Dart from Roadkill Garage is hitting the road! In this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan meet up with Vice Grip Garage and Roadworthy Rescues owner Derek Bieri to take a 1968 big-block Dart known as “El Dart-O” on a tire-smoking road trip that includes a final run down Memphis International Raceway and some hair-raising passes down George Ray’s Wildcat Dragstrip.

Return of the Roadkill Ramp Truck!

Finnegan and Newbern revive the '73 Chevy Ramp Truck after years of sitting idle in order to bring home the '55 Chevy Gasser known as Blasphemi. With a compound turbo 5.9L Cummins diesel now under the hood in place of the 454ci big-block Chevy, there's only one question: with over 1,300 ft-lb of torque, will the Ramp Truck spin the tires?
