Junkyard ‘Cuda Rescue, With Nitrous Oxide! – Roadkill Episode 11

On this episode of Roadkill, David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of HOT ROD magazine fly out of town, buy a car from a junkyard, make it run and drive, do burnouts, add nitrous, drag race twice, almost die, and the auction off the car at the end. The scene begins at CTC Auto Ranch in Denton, Texas, where the guys score a ’67 Plymouth Barracuda with a 360 V8, but without a carburetor, interior, glass, or brakes. By the time they sort out a number of other mechanical woes, they’re off for some burnouts and some racing at North Star Dragway, right next to the Auto Ranch. Then it’s a 300-mile drive to Houston for the NMCA Lone Star Nationals race. But, as you’ve come to expect from these guys, that doesn’t exactly go smoothly. But then they add NOS nitrous and it makes everything ok as they hang out with Jeff Lutz and Tim Reed from HOT ROD Drag Week right before they have to sell the car and hit the plane home.
