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.

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.
Facebook market place .. what a bunch of scammers on there.
Sitting for 20 yrs and now there is oil over the plugs … 🤔 failed valve seals ??
Nice to see Finnegan again. Is that a full episode ?
What's the difference between this firebird and the crusher Camaro?
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!
First Gen Firebirds are awesome. 60’s Pontiacs had great styling
Mike's living every gearheads dream. Congras on all your success Mike & friends.
Let’s sing along with sesame street! Rubber ducky you’re the one…….
Will we ever get motortrend back in other contraries
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.
Lot of history in the Crusher Camaro.
Cant beat a legend !!
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.
And this is the reason why I like small block power over big block power
Would have loved to have heard/seen the first startup.
Love it. I owned both those cars you dragged.
Huh? Drums need volume, discs need pressure.
Big surprise.. Fin takes hood off car 😹😺
Thank God for editing because that thing was junk.
