  • Hot Rod Editor In Chief David Freiburger has owned this 1970Dodge Super Bee since he was 15 years old. In 1995, it was restored indrag-race trim and loaded with a Dick Landy 484ci Hemi. Then it satuntouched until 2010, when Hot Rod decided to rework it as a street car. Inthis video, the guys thrash to get it on the road at the last minute forMopars at the Strip, then drive the car from Los Angeles to Las Vegas anddrag race it. Look for part 2, also here on RUclips.Hot Rod Editor In Chief David Freiburger has owned this 1970Dodge Super Bee since he was 15 years old.

      Finnegan's Garage...it starts out kind of simple and short, just Mike showing you little tips and tricks, then it eventually turns out a lot like Roadkill in content. 45-55 minute videos with vehicles that break down, zip tie repairs, and other sketchy goodness that eventually result in burnouts.

      Michael caplinger same but you can get a free trial for the motor trend app and they have a couple more episodes and the ones not on youtube, and another version of roadkill with Steve Dulcich, and just about all car shows imaginable. It's a free trial give it a shot I just did and it was worth it, I'd pay the $5 a month if I didn't already finish all the episodes of roadkill and hot rod garage and the roadkill garage with Dulcich lol I still got like 3 days left on it too gnna finish it off and see if there's any other good shows and maybe I'll pay the $5 for a month

    If you guys ever do read this you're the best of the best. I an thirteen years old and last summer I bought a 1981 Pontiac firebird trans am. The turbo trans am model. Rewind a little bit, in January my great uncle died. I hadn't ever met him before. My dad talked to him a week before his death about his 6.0 Ford truck. He had foot surgery and he had a heart attack from blood blockage at age 75. There was no warning so he still had a shop and a 200 foot long potato cellar full of tractors and 80's trucks and cars that are of no worth. We went to Idaho for a family reunion and we stayed at her house. At the time my dad was looking for a small tractor for your yard. We started looking around their property and we entered the pitch black potato cellar. I saw a huge case tractor and a bulldozer behind it. On the right side there were motors and transmissions and a bunch of treasures. There were RVs and trailers and 80's cars and trucks but nothing of my interest. I made a saying that says "you can't be a true farmer without one cool car", well I found that 1 cool car. behind a red early 90's Ford truck a grey Pontiac trans am say right there. I yelled to my dad, "it's a trans am." we came back inside and I told my great aunt, "if you ever go to sell it let me know". She said that other grand kids had expressed interest. She said that she'll ask them about it and tell me if I could be eligible to buy it. So I see it one more time for a month and that is all I can think about for a month. It was torture. I come home from school one day and my dad says "do you want to buy a trans am?" I yell yeah. He says I can buy it for $400 bucks. I tell him that it's sold. I do everything with in my power to get $400 we drive up and I see the car and boy you could tell that it hasn't seen daylight in a while. I look inside and see that the seats and the dash are in perfect condition. We go in to talk and I look at my title and look at the print date and it says 1992. It sat inside for 27 years. It has barley any surface rust and 99,232 miles on it. Still less than 100,000! We towed it home and I would look at people passing and each one would be looking at my car. We got it home and I cleaned it out and my dad and I just recently got the motor out. It will eventually have an ls2 in its place.

      i know this is old but i have a b-body 496 Chevy with a Dana S-60 4:56 for going to work and stuff. you do know big Chevy's can put on Hemi head's also right? it's not a dodge thing only. take a wild guess who patterned also your auto tran's that you think is a dodge. no i never had a Elco or rancher but i like them also. i hope Michael can live with the fact and opinion if i can say i have a 69 4 speed Cuda with a d-60 in it. yeh i am also one of the non haters of the SuperBee styling that year. just for your entertainment , translate my last name from french. guess why i like Bee's? and if you are a freaky o.e. terrorist, i plan to paint it yellow and double strip it's rear to boot , but with only one circled S.Bee. maybe i will call it the WanaBee with the non O.E. but needed D or S-60,trans, engine kit or build. still wrestling with the, know where to get 2 A.M.X. 343 4 speed part's cars to make one right now. north american or Cuban style hot rodding works for me.

    I love it! This is how hot rodin goes. I just changed springs in the front of my 73 TA twice tonite to no avail. Threw out my original set (front, like a dumbass) got a pair from PST and it sits like a strait axle car with one side exceptionaly high. changed sides and the oppost side raised higher than the other. I'll get it though and that's what everyone has to keep in mind. I had cam bearing issues, an old builder gave me advice but not an ans. then I tracked it dwn and won't forget. Remember
