- Finnegan and David Newbern rescue an unbelievably mint '67 Pontiac Firebird. This Crusher Camaro look-alike has been stowed in a barn behind a dragstrip for almost two decades. Now the guys battle old parts, downpours and other issues in order to get this old drag car racing down the track once again.

stoked to see MotorTrend releasing some episodes on CZcams again! Please dont stop!
Don't get too excited. They aren't full episodes. Better than nothin' though.
Barely teasers... :(
Broken dream. Some one bought all those things with the intention to do some thing nice and have fun, but couldn't finish it. Thanks for the rescue.
Otto Timms’s old car. He called it “Tweetie”. Lol. Cool old race car. Good to see it moving again.
15:04 I love all the instructions plastered everywhere
Dulcich is the man. Always backing up his friends (we all).
Mike's living every gearheads dream. Congras on all your success Mike & friends.
its literally the crusher camaro but with a different front end (at least thats what it looks like sorta)
I love the rubber duck! Would love to see more firebirds and trans am. Not enough people doing stuff with them haha
First Gen Firebirds are awesome. 60’s Pontiacs had great styling
Got to say, the rubber duck can hang with the crusher. I'm impressed
Thanks guys for the footage so complete I like the barn find the engine swap and especially the dragstrip and you did better for each pass thanks I have fun watching.
Love to watch from Kathmandu Nepal 🇳🇵
Amazing stuff for me 🙏
world's greatest drag race is comin soon
The Crusher Camaro Vs The Crusher Bird?
Would still like to see a built Pontiac motor in the Firebird.
Makes me miss my family's 400HO '67.
Would have loved to have heard/seen the first startup.
That was certainly odd.
MORE OF THIS!!!!
Love it. I owned both those cars you dragged.
Awesome footage! I imagine doing the same with our cars with my bro-in-law, same matching pair.
Its not the same as the old days. 😢
Miss the old roadkill
I really like that Firebird
Should call it Bigbird, but i prefer the 69 firebird. Awesome job guys.
That’s a beautiful car
Lot of history in the Crusher Camaro.
I wanna rummage there
Cant beat a legend !!
That's awesome
AND, it's close to the same color as the crusher camaro!!!
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
The Crusher a BEAST that Pontiac just a pup right now
That's cool love it would love to have it.
Your Back
Nice to see Finnegan again. Is that a full episode ?
Ohhhh dang. It’s nice
Nice
My god thats nice
Killer!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
is this for real?...a new roadkill...please give us more..
It’s from September of last year and it’s only part of the episode but it appears that maybe they will be bringing some roadkill back to CZcams!
And this is the reason why I like small block power over big block power
Both sweet rides
Don't want to spoil the fun but I think only the left front got off the ground so no wheelie.
Too bad we don't get to see the times of that second run. Finnegan left late but seemed to make up some time along the way.

why Motortrend ? WHY ? I'm from Estonia btw.
Yeah got to have a ground cable between the engine and the frame with the battery in the trunk
That thing is sweeet
is oil pressure more important the oil flow?
Thank God for editing because that thing was junk.
Will we ever get motortrend back in other contraries
Why cant u see episodes on motor trend in the EU anymore? (Live in sweden)i miss all the roadkill episodes:/
Where fries burger?
Too many of these cars found like this are started but never finished projects. With most of the parts there rusting away while the other parts are missing.
What's the difference between this firebird and the crusher Camaro?
How come Freiburger and Finnegan don’t film videos together anymore?
Because Mike lives in Georgia now while Steve and David live in California.
Is the original colour? I mistook for the crusher Camaro
That looks like so much fun. Finnegan's car leaves hard!
Does Rubber Duck have a bigger tire than Blasphemi?
I got the same car but it's a convertible 400 with a 4 speed
"we didn't stage any of this stuff"
Big surprise.. Fin takes hood off car 😹😺
Alright Blackie I got two questions for you. The first one how many people do you think that will feed what you just made. The second question after use your knife so I put your find yourself cutting up stuff that might not be suitable to eat how would you sterilize that night in the field so you can use it to cut up your food and maybe to eat with like raw food.
Are you lost?
High as a kite.
What a shame they didn't have a Butler Pontiac 535 in the Firebird. If that Firebird has the original front bumper it's a 400 car from the factory.
Sitting for 20 yrs and now there is oil over the plugs ... 🤔 failed valve seals ??
I hate that motor trend denied my subscription I have no option to watch it now :(
Let’s sing along with sesame street! Rubber ducky you’re the one…….
Firebirds forever even if its running a chev motor.
i was gonna like this video but i seen it has 426 likes so i left it at that, up the hemi's
Put a battery in it and make it an EV Golf cart...oh wait, you did that already to another yellow iconic car...a 57 Chevy? At least this one still appeals to real hot rodders.
I should have kept my 67,
400, Hurst 4sd, Just like that , fixed! 🇺🇸. 💯❤️/. Let’s pour 50 thousand into now, yahoo!
Where is fryburger?
Where’s Fryburger gone?
Nothing like yellow on yellow.
That thing would look way better with a blower ;-)
It's almost like you can see the future!
Prodome big block Pontiac from junkyard NETFLIX it's all of it.
Yeah
Huh? Drums need volume, discs need pressure.
Nope, other way around. Think about volume of a wheel cylinder vs the volume of a typical front brake caliper
@@tubefreek869 You forgot travel: pads are pretty much there at all times, while drum shoes retract after letting off. Also, shoes fucntion by jamming themselves against surface with only a little help - something discs do not do
Why did you skip showing it start for the first time? That was lame.
Wow this is suprisingly quiet
Motor Hemi Dodge challenger srt 6,2 717 need make ☝️🏁🏁🏁🏁💪💪💪💪💪
What is this editing? We don't get to see them start it for the first time?
I love your burnouts in your Yellowbird! Check out my BURNOUTS in my Blackbird on my channel!
Yall lyin 😂
lol
I watched the episode,car ran hard but clown helping Mike says it's old and wornout but the lack of knowledge statement! Replace the dam valve springs! Any racer knows BIG CAM BIG whip on the springs! Dam car was running faster then high 11s! If that's worn out,Mike you need a better wrench with a brain!
Not the same Roadkill.
He tryied to copy the crusher camoreo
"Restored"
Facebook market place .. what a bunch of scammers on there.
Mint. Lol
Bv
First
No i am
Another Camaro.
Yup I'm a troll and rightfully so....Not a fan... instead of fixing what you have let's just drop in THOUSANDS of dollars worth of dart motor cause we cant fix it..throw gobs of money at it...yup more fake for tv bs.....
How much did we pay for this awsome already hopped up barn find? Where did we find it ? ( at a neighbor's house ?)
Come on ....
Not buying the hype?
He explained in the full episode on MTOD that it belonged to a guy who ran a drag strip down in Georgia. He ran it until the early 2000’s when he died. His widow parked it in that barn right off the drag strip. There is a whole bunch of cars right around there. You can see part of their searching on Finnegan’s CZcams channel and this car has since blown up this motor, and now has a blown big block Chevy
@@WyoCutlass71 fair comment but still dosent change that post has alot of truth to it...alot
Is there a link or comment in description saying "see the whole story here"? NOPE
He mentions "his" neighbor, sounds fishy and I'll have to watch the episode for how much they bought it for....but my heart tells me any so called normal hotrod car guy would be ecstatic to have a starting point like that and dosent have buckets of TV MONEY to just keep swapping motors...still bs still fake
