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.

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.

Got to say, the rubber duck can hang with the crusher. I'm impressed

@elizabetharas5748 Год назад

its literally the crusher camaro but with a different front end (at least thats what it looks like sorta)

@khasmir666 2 года назад

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ....

@JerkVegas86 2 года назад

Not buying the hype?

@WyoCutlass71 2 года назад

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 RU-vid channel and this car has since blown up this motor, and now has a blown big block Chevy

@Lau2xLeap 2 года назад

@@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
