Roadkill Season 11 Full Episode Guide
The street freak 1975 AMC known as the Hemi Gremmie has had some failures in its life, but now the 426ci Hemi–powered Gremlin is finally completing a road trip! Freiburger and Finnegan drive from Detroit to St. Louis, with a stopover for a roll cage installation, and finally give the Hemi Gremmie the road trip it deserves.
Previously, Finnegan surprised Freiburger with a 700-horsepower hemi in his Gremlin. Now see what led up to the surprise as Dulcich and Cotten keep Freiburger distracted with a road trip from St. Louis to Pontiac, Michigan, in the Wreck Runner and Pink Pro Street Mirada. Will they even make it to Roadkill Nights for the surprise and an epic burnout fest?
Finnegan gives back to Freiburger big time. After a devastating first road trip, on which the 426 hemi that's wedged into the 1975 AMC hurt itself, Finnegan uses a historied engine to overhaul the Gremmie. And with the help of Newbern, Cotten and Dulcich, he surprises Freiburger at Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge. Why not hook a friend up with 700 hp of hemi goodness?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
When one vehicle fails, always make sure you have a suitable backup. This time on Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan attempt to road-trip the Hemi Gremmie only to be foiled by engine trouble. Instead of roadkilling fully and risking more damage, they do the only sensible thing...continue the road trip by "street legalizing" an Off-Road Race Truck and driving it 400+ miles on the highway.
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.
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.
