Roadkill Season 12 Full Episode Guide
What's the only logical thing to do after buying retired dirt track race cars? Build your own track, of course! Freiburger and Finnegan build their own dirt track in order to race their newly acquired Monte Carlo-based, 1940s-bodied, V-8 powered machines. Watch as the guys race wheel to wheel after installing an engine and bulldozing their friend's lawn.
The '69 Charger known as the Dumpster Fire Daytona hits the road to Roadkill Nights! Freiburger and Finnegan caravan along with Dulcich, Newbern and Cotten in an epic road trip from Atlanta to Detroit. With massive burnouts, breakdowns and roadside fixes, can the five guys manage to take the Daytona, Bang-Shifting Cougar and Ric Flairmont over 800 miles?
Can the guys make something from nothing in five days? Freiburger and Finnegan enlist Steve Dulcich to help resurrect the worst '69 Dodge Charger Daytona clone by recycling project car parts. This "Dumpster Fire Daytona" sports a 383 from the Death Metal Charger, a clutchless five-speed from Blasphemi, and a Dana 60 rear end from the Rubber Duck Firebird. What could go wrong?
Is this the last run for the '68 Charger known as General Mayhem? Unfortunately, when it comes to racing down Bandimere Speedway, it is. Freiburger and Finnegan battle altitudes as they road-trip from Yellowstone Drag Strip to Colorado for the first and last pass of the General Mayhem at Bandimere before the longstanding Thunder Mountain track closes down.
Sometimes bad becomes worse before it becomes great. Freiburger and Finnegan buy a '77 Cadillac Eldorado that's been chopped in half and poorly mated with a 16-foot trailer to make a CadiRamp. After splitting down the middle, lofty goals of using it as a boat hauler quickly turn into a whole new creation, The EldoWrongo, with the help of Shea Seefeldt from Runs Good.
It’s a muscle truck road trip and faceoff! On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan take Finnegnan’s LT4-powered ’67 Chevy C-10 on its first road trip to compete at LS Fest West against Freiburger’s LS6-powered ’74 Chevy short-bed stepside, Original Muscle Truck. After getting the C-10 roadworthy, the guys use Roadkill ingenuity to beat the desert heat and beat on their trucks.
Pavement, dirt, and rocks—this one has it all. In this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger takes Mike Cotten on his first 4-wheeling adventure to Moab, Utah, to meet up with Dave Chappelle. The guys hit the road in Freiburger’s 350 V-8-powered ’81 Jeep Scrambler, find a hidden treasure land speed shop, and conquer rockcrawling trails all before rescuing a swamped Jeep from a water hole.
There are many ways to take in the sights of our nation's capital, but the best way is in a '69 Mustang that's sat for over 27 years. Freiburger and Finnegan get more than they bargained for as they revive a very rusted-out '69 Mustang with a 302 V-8. After decades of neglect, the guys use some genius repairs to get it back on the road and tour Washington, D.C.
There’s only one way to test-drive an 84-year-old car with a 68-year-old engine: take it on a road trip! On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan attempt to keep a ’39 Ford running on a 1,000-mile road trip to scope out a future project vehicle in Texas. With multiple parking lot fixes and a party in New Orleans, this episode has it all.
Freiburger and Finnegan get their '73/'74 dirt-track Duster back up and running for a road trip and an off-road, desert showdown against their famous Vette Kart. Chris Birdsong originally built the Duster, and now he just might have the chance to win it back if he can beat Finnegan around a muddy off-road course.
Some vehicles need to be saved, but we need to save ourselves from some vehicles. Freiburger and Dulcich divert from their original plan of road tripping a Cadillac to rescue a '67 Ford F-250 that was recently purchased by a member of the crew. As they road trip the truck, it's not long before they realize they might actually be rescuing the crew member who bought it.
What's better than hauling your race car with something cool? Hauling it with something big! Freiburger and Finnegan fix up a stretched '86 Chevy crew cab "limo dually" to haul the '56 Chevy Field Car to multiple dragstrips. Will the famous '56 with a 500-hp small block run its fastest quarter mile yet, or will the ridiculous stretched truck fail to get it there?
Viva Raunchero! Freiburger and Finnegan unearth their '68 Ford Ranchero from the depths of storage. The guys built it back in episode 2 as a clone of Hot Rod’s entry into the first Baja 1000, and then subsequently drove it all the way to Alaska. After sitting dormant for far too long, the Raunchero is revitalized and taken on its first road trip in over eight years!
