Taking a 1,000-mile road trip in a ’67 Pontiac Firebird that sat in a barn in Georgia for over 16 years is crazy. But drag racing it every day along the way is true Roadkill. On this episode of Roadkill, Finnegan and David Newbern take the Rubber Duck Firebird on an endurance drag racing event. Stream Roadkill NOW on MotorTrend+!

Newbern worked his magic on that Carb! Lol

Mike, you might want to look at Whipple Superchargers. They don't heat up like a roots does
Be nice if MotorTrend was not blocked in Australia now .
Finnegan: Yo Freiburger , let me copy your Crusher Camaro homework…
Freiburger: Okay but chance it up a little so the teacher doesn't notice.
Finnegan: Alright.
I trust another challenge is made to Freiburger.
me and my son at 5:50 his names is Rafe
16 years… shoot thats all ?? I let my racing junk sit 20 years plus.
Best day at work ever
Would love to own this one.
Ive seen this car on an episode of Hot Rod Holder, lots of cool cars at paradise dragstrip
We want full episodes of road kill back on youtube.
run a Pontiac engine in it and you won't lose.
Hey Finn There's More in That Ol Rubber Duck than Y'all are Getting, tune the suspension and Dial that Engine it will Rip
We all just wanna be out of the barn ! Great find, my jaw dropped on the first pass !
I really thought something was gunna blow up but didn't kudos to the rubber duck !! Now go get those 4tenths !!
Wow look out blasphemi
Literally my dream car
Insane!
"Blasphemy"…… Hemi? I wonder if Mike isn't gonna be selling a gasser before too long. This is very clearly his new favorite car. (in prior episodes of Road Kill he's revealed his desire to find that good 1st gen Firebird worth having and owning) This car is pretty clearly going to be faster before he's done than the Hemi powered Chevy without much problem getting there at all. Big Chevy motors are cost effective too. Old Hemi motors are ultra cool but you gotta really love 'em to go there because it's impossible to make the same power today with a BB Hemi vs the same cash deployed to the effort in a BBC.
You should have done a Small Block Chevy 400 Build I'll share a video of our Hotrod
I'll just see it on Mikes Channel
Sucks you can’t watch these episodes anymore in the uk 🙁
Way to go guys. Well done.
Ofc its fast, Ofc it hooks its a Pontiac Firebird !!!
Wrong he knew it would go 9s
how much hp its got to have around 800 right
You basically got a mystery box of an engine… What kind of engine builder completely overhauls an engine and doesn't provide a build sheet? I mean you should at least know what you're paying for… Right?
They don't know what's in the motor and they stuck a super charger on it. Because roadkill
There's nothing like a big block with a blower hallelujah brother !
