Dirt Cheap Rat Rod! 1968 Charger Buildup and Thrash - Roadkill Ep. 23
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 дек 2013
- Freiburger and Finnegan think this is the best episode so far! It's the longest, too. This show has it all: a Mad-Max-vibe 1968 Dodge Charger built with motorhome parts, sideways Dukes-style action, lots of low-buck wrenching, hilarious snafus, and cameo appearances by the Macho Grande from episode 8, the '66 Buick Special convertible from a pre-Roadkill episode, the ramp truck from episode 20, and the Fury from episode 22. Enjoy the last Roadkill of 2013!

Over seven years later and it's still the greatest episode of Roadkill.
@Andrew Ramsey and its still free.
This is the first episode I watched. It kept popping into my recommended feed until I finally watched it.
You bet this is like watching a movie with a great ending.👍
@@nubreed13 yeah this popped up for me about 7-8 years ago when I was a kid like 8 years old it was the first roadkill episode I ever watched and still my favorite to this day.
even if this comment gets 20 years old, it's still probably the best episode of Roadkill ever
They deleted so many roadkill episodes off of youtube which makes me so disappointed but atleast they didnt delete this one because its my favorite
Right, I was looking for the crop duster episode the other day and was disappointed to see it was removed.
@AstronomyToday link?
Yep you can still watch them on MotorTrend channel on tv or on their website.
@@blakewaddell451 Yeah, but you have to get past the paywall.
It's sad to see how Motor Trend turned from a respected channel that provided free entertainment to a company THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS.
Apophis well they pulled off of RUclips because RUclips banned gun related videos at one point so MotorTrend said no more Roadkill on RUclips for that.

There should totally be a RoadKill car pack in Forza Horizon 4
Yes please, I would also love to see a Delorean In fh4
YASSS! There should be a roadkill pack in every car game

and Gran Torismo
I rebuilt the charger in Forza, just search up roadkill you may find it.
There’s something so right about an old charger drifting across a dirt road
359 TwinSticks Is it the Dukes of Hazzard vibes? The trademark engine roar? Or is it that these guys could easily emulate Bo and Luke Duke if they tried hard enough? *shrugs* idk
Colton Rushton engine roar
359 TwinSticks I agree entirely! The only thing that could make this better is a Dixie horn and Roscoe blaring his sirens!

Can’t believe this episode is nearly 10 years old…. one of my favorite Roadkill!

#METOO
Maxey love the profile picture
they released a compilation a few days ago... so here i am again
Same
I bought that car from the junkyard
Imagine trading a set of heads for a 68-70 Charger.
You couldn't BUY that hulk for less than $20-30K nowadays. 😳
Better times
Definitely betters times
I keep coming back to this episode. It's the combination of the second-gen charger, saving a cool car from the scrapheap, cobbling together a bunch of parts, being resourceful enough to know a haunted motorhome has the top-tier mopar engine you want, and the realism of passion projects taking way longer than you think they would. This is what makes "cars" as a hobby really rock.
Great job, Roadkill. I'm only 9 years late in realizing this was your best episode ever.
This show is very under rated !!!
its waaaay better than all the car tv shows that i have seen
+Anas mag Agreed. If these two teamed up with Jay Leno, the American version of top gear could have been on par with the British IMO.
+superiormusic top gear got nothing on roadkill
+mathew davis in my opinion even being car shows you can't compare top gear and roadkill because they are THAT different.
Roadkill: Muscle cars,cheap builds travel cross country, information about specifications and viable hacking to make something work and talk to people that are part of place they are visiting
Top gear: Sports and hypercars, travel in scenic routes in countries around the world, focus on pleasure to drive and humour between the hosts.
I love these 2 shows but by different reasons
Even top gear uk?
TOP GEAR UK IS THE ALL TIME BEST
This is one of my favorite episodes of Roadkill ever. I always find myself coming back and watching it, despite having seen it countless times.
+Yet Another Car Show Same, for me though i think its cause of the ACTUAL wrenching they do here.
SAME HERE MAN! I want this car for 1. roadkill and 2. because its a '69 dodge charger which ive been wanting for FOREVER. Seriously tho, I would kill for this car.
The car is 1968 tho!
So i was give or take one year off. Besides I looked up pictures of 1969 dodge chargers and I got cars that looked very similar to this model
(edit) jesus christ I was difficult to understand 2 years ago. I tried my best to fix my grammar. I also realize I used to know a lot less about cars back then
+Blue J 360 the only difference in 68 and 69 are the taillights
normal people: put groceries in the trunk
Roadkill: put a big block v8 in the trunk
me: *shaking my head
That is the Roadkill groceries tho
I’ve watched this so many times now, someone needs to repost all the old roadkill episodes. I used to watch them all the time and they’re all gone now....
Yeah I loved re watching every one of them, glad they ate making money but wish we still got the free shows
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this episode. :)
This is a great one. This kinda thing is what Roadkill is all about :D
This is my 12 time
this one is my FAVOURITE one. I watched it so many times that i lost count
ditto

Roadkill is by far the best program on the Motor Trend Channel!
creepyzebra
On RUclips period.
***** Yep. Surely is.
***** By far and away the best motoring program. Period. Regardless of media.
clonmult
creepyzebra It's my replacement for (real) top gear until I can get it on amazon.
I just watched this episode an hour ago on Discovery Velocity. I loved it, because this was traditional hot rodding at it's best! Using whatever you had, to make something cool, unique, and fast for not a lot of money.
7 years later and the General returns to her former glory. One of the most iconic muscle cars ever
Who's watching this for the 100th time in 2020?
Mopar Garage more like 200th for me.
Meeee. I am so in love with this car.... I REALLY wish they would give this away... better yet let this hard working poor single mom buy it
101st lol

To me, this is still the undisputed best episode of Roadkill ever.
For me at between this and the rotsun build and autocross episode. The Subaru one was amazing as well
vic tweezy between this one and the dirt fish rally school episode
Just 2 dudes messing around, and it's easily one of the best car show I've seen in a while.
The best episode of RK. I can watch this over and over and never get tired. I know this, because I've watched this over and over again.

Roll Smokey turned out to be pretty good and the engine went to the Fury wagon so it lived well also.

@@nazeera4744 me
I never get tired of watching this episode. I’ve probably given this video nearly a hundred views.
Same here. I try not to watch it too often so I can keep it fresh in my mind for years to come. One of the best RK cars/episode imho.
same
here
I come back to this episode at least twice a year every year, still hands down the best episode of roadkill.
I can see these guys making a car for a Mad Max movie set.
they should
that would be amazing
Mighty Car = mods mod max vs Roadkills = Road Killer
yes
iirc 3 of the cars will be in the next one
"We might be on fire dude" most Roadkill quote ever. Mint! xD
Who's watching in 2023 (my goodness its been a long time)
2024
2024 also. I so miss this show these two together made the show.
2024
Just showed someone it for the first time today.
2024 just watched them put this motor in a Duster
"never fixed the oil leak, i just cleaned it every friday" good quotes :D
I have watched this episode countless times. Still my fav to this day
That big block just sounds so good!
Exhaust helps
if you're watching this episode with insane Bluetooth speakers or whatever, I am doing that too! AND IT SOUNDS Well...INSANE!
ThatCarGuy 1 1 the holes in the exhaust help even more.
big V8 with cheap glasspacks and you usually get a noise like that
boer harms knock off cherry bombs make me think of high school.
You needed a scene with the Dukes of Hazard Narrator....lol AWESOME show guys.
I wish they had left the charger like this instead of putting the hellcat engine in it.
The 440 is going back in!
Ye lol
@@JRC99 they put it in a different car
@@beacher50_ And then pulled it out. It's not in the Crop Duster anymore
@@JRC99 What happened to that engine now?
This defines : Built not bought. So awesome. It would be incredible to see something like this done with an old, junk yard Ferrari that was found for cheap.
I like it!
It wouldn’t fit to build a Ferrari, I’d rather build a classic muscle car.
They totally should've just souped up the motorhome and called it "Braking's Bad"
Really "braking bad" XD
+killezpartan "BAKING BAD" meth pun
You mean "braking bad".
Nope.
TheOrgano BREAKING BAD NOT "Braking's bad". Does not make any sense, unless you don't know how to use grammar.
When this was first released it was a simpler time
Now, it's just a simp time
I love how they bust over the "traffic calming humps" in the neighborhood, lol!
best episode of road kill ever...

This episode was awesome. I love seeing stuff get built like this, and that Charger sounds great for what it is!
Crazy how I always come back to this episode. Watching it in 2022
The episode of Roadkill that got me hooked to the point I watch the episodes over and over and over again
This episode cost me a lot. Well a lot of patience not a lot of money. I picked up a 77 Camaro right after watching this for $1500 and got it running in two days. Hell yeah!!!
how much did it cost all up ? and hell you man im think of doing the same
A running 77 Camaro would cost you 8000 euromonies here, with a maybe running engine. (The Netherlands, every American classic is hella expensive)

japanese cars are dirt cheap in the netherlands though. why not do it to a 80s supra? :D
Juul de win Japanese cars are amazing, but really not my taste. I really like v8 American cars.
Thank you so much for not uploading this in multiple parts! Much appreciated!
Remember when it used to be free to watch this show, man those were the days. Now there's only 8 episodes publicly available and the rest have been set to private videos.
this is the coolest roadkill build in my book. motor home big block in a charger is something else. one of my fav episodes for sure
This deserves a Million views for the New Years Jan 1st.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT TEARING THAT OLD DODGE PICKUP APART
@@floydcoppage1499 dukes of hazzard is my favorite show (BESIDES ROADKILL) and i think they should've gon general lee
Lol hot rod garage swapped a 12v or 24v like a month later into the same truck he did want to make a doaner out of
Still watching this after 7 years, crazy that back in the day I thought I could just go out and find a charger 😂
roadkill was my childhood that got me in to cars
This Episode is so legend because the General Mayhem was officially born.
2019. I think this one of the better episodes because it recreates all the struggles of a project car. From finding parts, storing them, annoying neighbors, making a mess, shuffling cars, how long meaningful projects actually take, and the issues you have with a new build. The recent roadkill, are pushed out to fast, with throwaway cars. This didn't feel like a throwaway car.
Hit the nail on the head. Haven't seen classic's like the Rotsun and Draguar in a long time. I dont care much for 80% of the cars on the show.
I’ve watched thousands of videos on RUclips, and yet I always came back to this one
This quote has aged well 33:38
"Usually we get cars FROM the junkyard, or have cars that SHOULD be there..."
"Its opposite day!"
I love the parts compatibility
over 9 years later,, still my most favorate roadkill. i remember vvhen this came out.
I like how he jumped out “ is it on fire”
Most iconic episode of Roadkill ever
Yep, so true! I love this car! I agree!
Best episode yet.
Are We Going To Ignore The Fact That He Said “ A Bag Full Of Coronavirus “
He said corona bottles
6 years ago
Gabriel Ledford haha I scrolled to find a comment on that because I thought he said that too until the comments said it was "bottles" instead and i went back and listend to it and i guess he did say "corona bottles" lolol
I thought the same thing
@Steveo's Garage bruv momento
The fact he said a bag of coronavirus 8 years ago is sus
Corona bottles lol i thought the same thing
This episode was on point. The car, no money, the motor home, fury death, the attitudes, the friends house, the idea that anybody could do this and hack together their own charger! This was the roadkill peak
Best Roadkill yet.
100% agree
George Hill am with u on that
BRING ROADKILL BACK TO RUclips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was younger me and my dad would watch every new episode together I wish they never went too the motor trend app cause I miss roadkill so much
holy shit! what happend in this episode is literally my life dream! if i ever accomplish this i wouldnt believe it... to be honest if you guys worked on this for another year or so like on and off it you could get it to perfection!
read my post above yours about building a ride cheap
ah nah it ok ... im only 16 and i live in the UK so theres basically no chance anyway.. haha
Sasho Dotchev. It can be done in UK, rover V8 engines are like 300 quid, then you buy a 70s british car for about 600 quid and make the rover v8 fit
nah fuck that ... i want a proper american muscle ... sorry but in my opinion british and eouropean cars are shit lol...
Sasho Dotchev. You aren't looking at the right cars then lol ford escort mk2, ford capri, morris minor all brit cars
Charger out, Fury in, Charger back in, Charger out, Fury out to the junkyard, then Charger in. Got that, okay.
No could you repeat that
i didn't get that at all 😅
Ummmm (scratches head)
Sounds like that episode of "BoatKill."
Pick up the boat, with the Muscle Truck,
drive to the lake, pull the engine out of
truck, put in boat, run boat, pull engine
out, put back in truck, and drive home.

Let It her rip
* LOOKING AT RV *
Walter : Jesse, we need to cook...
Freiburger : Finnegan, we need to build...
Isn't it crazy how 60s cars only had 5-6 fuses, compared to even cars in the 90s with 20+ fuses. Truly simple machines. Beautiful.
You have to do more of the charger. Dig it out again and do something else with it. It is by far the coolest machine of the series, please don't forget it for an other five years.
I'm with you on this one, I'd like to see it finished something like the buick convertible. Very cool car and a very cool show.
"mopar people are strange" understatement of the century
I resemble that remark.
Try meeting Ford owners. Coming from an owner, they are some weirdos!
Watching yet again for the hundredth time on 2022, #1 best episode.
I had a similar idea rolling around in my mind for years. Happily, I found this show and now it, and the General Mayhem return to 440 power and upgrades episodes are serving as a helpful how-to of sorts for me as I do a build on my '68 Coronet. Lots of helpful hints there. Recently acquired a 440 and transmission, some other goodies. Let the fun begin! Thanks guys.
I don't care if anyone thinks this is a horrible thing to do to a charger, this thing looks like a beast.
"theres a whole bag of corna virus"
your about 7 years to early

I heard the same. Premonitions

I remember watching this in 6th grade, this episode right here is what got me into cars, I have a 73 dodge dart sport now, no general mayhem but its what I can afford.
The charger is one of my fav roadkill cars it’s so badass

There's something intoxicating about the sound of that V8. Great show guys.
It's 2021 and this video is still the beat one out there. Iconic
Best project build I’ve ever saw. Thank you.
Best car show ever.
The sound of that engine is unmistakable. My mom had one of these in the 1970's
These lol
Two legends were born this day... the General Mayhem and Roadkill.
The episode that truly got me into cars when I was a kid. Thanks Roadkill❤
friedburger in a police chase ''haha you'll never catch me'' floors it
''he used a smoke screen''

One problem: Tranny fluid's a dead giveaway of where they went if it went like it did in this episode.
They'll never catch us...-hits a train-
Tony Dudek “shoot did you wire that?! That was meant to happen when you push that button there!”
This show is great, if I suddenly get some anti American feelings from reading some stupid comment somewhere on the internet I can always go watch a an episode of roadkill to get my faith in US people Instantly restored. No one could play around with these cool old muscle cars with such enthusiasm as Freiburger and Finnegan. and no other car culture could supply them with the mad old machinery that goes to make their awesome rods. it makes shows like top gear eat dust. The best kudos goes out to the hosts and their team for making this awesome show.
I'm not quite sure how many times I've watched this masterpiece but I grin from ear to ear every time!
I’ve watched this so many times it’s honestly my favourite episode
Man that car sounded mean! You guy's looked like two big kid's having fun that is what it's all about. I wish I could have been there!
Who else laughed hard at how serious he said "gonnorherpasyphilis"
I died laughing when it aired, first episode I watched as it aired.

google ghana herpa syphilis
urban dictionary status
Is that even an actual disease?
I like these guys, so down to earth and obviously having a good time
nearly 10 years since this came out and it's still one of my favourite car videos of all time
I always laugh out loud when I watch Roadkill. Thanks guys, you're the best!
Total Cost Tally: 68' Charger (Trade for Cylinder Heads) + Motor Home ($1000) + Donor Fury (Free-ish) + New Parts ($2000?) + Pay to take motorhome and dumpster ($500?) + $47 fuel door = Dukes Fun for less than the price of a used Civic. WORTH IT! BAM!
AimlessMoto then get a sponsorship from dodge and end up with a free 700hp drivetrain
Katchao
If you have a lot of free time, well it's worth it. But if not, just forget iy
So $3550 is less than a used Civic? I could find a good CRX for $2000. Still, $3500 for a 440 Charger.
Yes, $3550 is less than a used civic. Yes, you can find crx's for $2k.
I live for this content, plz never stop the roadkill series
I have watched this so many times, this very episode launched my passion for mopars, and cars in general.
