Ahhh yes.... Memories of riding in the back of my aunt and uncle's wagon almost dieing from the exhaust leak flowing through the rusted out fender wells. Good times.
I used to sleep in the back of our station wagon in the early 60s while on a trip. One night after sleeping in the back of our like new Bonneville during a one hour ride , we got home and I went to bed and had some very weird, druggy symptoms before I finally fell asleep. I assume it was carbon monoxide poisoning.
@@track1219 Oh geez lol

Good move to get rid of those rims, the replacements are great!

I miss the old roadkill where you can binge watch them on youtube
I'm on y t now
Ditto!!
Man I love wagons !!!
Love these old wagons. We had a 66 Safari wagon blue/blue still miss it.
We had a 77 Grand Safari when I was a kid. Total beast.
I have a rare '77 Pontiac Astre Formula Safari Station Wagon...
That bon is so sweet!!
yeah, but I have a sweeter spot for old dodges, especially wagons
stacked headlights are bitchin man, and that co!or is groovy
Having just bought a 1968 Plymouth 9 passenger roof rack wood sided Fury wagon, this is my favorite episode.
No wood panel
does it have the 440?
@@seeharvester no. 318, but i traded it. Now i have a 1968 polara convertible
Needs glass. Also 318.
Those were a couple of pretty cool wagons. Keep the patina and character but fix them to drive well and be reliable.
After my father passed away in 68, THIS was the car I learned how to drive at 16 1/2. I did not know how to drive a 3-in-the-tree clutch. My first day out, I crept up to a stop sign with a cop sitting there watching me desperately trying to not slip the clutch and go smoothly. He must have laughed his head off watching chug, chugging past him. Luckily, he didn't pull me over. The engine was a 455 cubic" with a 4 barrel carburetor. It had a 3-speed speed synchromesh manual transmission. After a few months, I became a bit proficient at beating everyone off the line in this tank of an auto. I loved driving despite my friend having a new Shelby mustang. One morning in February while driving to swim practice at 6:45 am, I ran out of gas after turning left. I stalled out in the left lane. No cell phones, right. Before I knew it I was rear-ended. The Ford Falcon suffered a lot of front-end damage while the tank barely had a dent in the rear. Ah, those were the days.
A little clean up on that 440 and drive train, that Town and Country would be a beast.
My first car was a 67 Bonneville 4 door sedan. It had a 10:5:1 compression 325hp 400 with a four barrel and it would smoke the tires for a block. Great car.
I jumped a 70 Catalina wagon over a dumpster in the 80's!
wagon with sound like that,its the best
My mom had a '67 just like that one, only it was sort of a faded bronze color and it had a 428 HO (360hp, 472 tq) in it with posi. Had a lot of fun and got in a bit of trouble in that car during my high school days....
Just picked up a 67 4 door Pontiac Bonneville 2 weeks ago. Towed it home put a fuel pump in it with new gas fired right up!! Drove it around the neighborhood. It's a TANK my daily is an 03 suburban and this thing is bigger that the burban!!!!
And that’s why wagons rule
I bought one in 1983 for 500 bucks it was in mint condition, 428HO from the factory. Used to stuff nine jar heads in it and we would cruise around Jacksonville NC when I was stationed Camp Lejeune. I actually beat a 5.0 mustang in 1985 with nine people in the car, and they were famous for breaking motor mounts.

When I saw the thumbnail for this video I just HAD to check it out! It just so happens I have a 1967 Bonneville wagon in Montreux Blue with dark blue Morrokide interior that I bought from a fellow in the Poconos of Pennsylvania back in 2000. I named her Jewel because like most old station wagons these days, she's a rare jewel. When I first picked her up, I drove her to Pittsburgh for a club convention before taking her home to Massachusetts. She runs well and is mostly original with over 83,600 miles, but she could use some body work. She came with a black vinyl top, but it's been slowly deteriorating and there's not much left of it. I don't often take her for long distances these days so I don't think she'll be coming to Bonneville, but she is a lot of fun to drive.
BTW, I'm also the Historian of the International Station Wagon Club. If you guys would be interested in checking us out you can find us on Facebook. Thanks for showing off your Bonnie for us, and Happy Haulin'!
I had one of these wagons in 77, tboned a 57 studabaker skyhawk with it, destroyed studabaker and dented the pontiac.
I loved every minute of it can't get enough of you knuckleheads
I agree lots of laughs the whole roadkill crew is crazy love it
In the 70’s My ex father n law was points champ for several years in the NHRA.....with a Pontiac wagon big block and a power glide....jack mullins.
getting rid of those wheels was a HUGE start!
Love the BIG Ol Poncho !
in canada, the top of the pontiac wagon was a parisienne safari. the canadian pontiacs were built on chevy platforms, with chevy drinetrains, built in oshawa, ont.
We had one of those back in 67. One of the best cars my Dad ever had.
OMG! This was my car! I owned this wagon around 2003 onward, my kids and wife called it "The Pickle" lol. Unfortunately life happened, I parked it in the backyard of my mother in laws house in a not so good neighborhood and I found out in 2018 it was stolen. Probably was stolen before then but my mother in law has Alzheimer's and would not remember when the car disappeared. So happy to see it back on the road!!!!
Wow! Were those hideous wheels on it when you had it?
@@ModelA No, the people that stole it must have put those on it.
@@RetireWithLess - Yeah, look like stealer mentality wheels...
@@BuzzLOLOL "aye cuh lets put 22s on the back foo"
Ooft I love the look of that thing 🤤
Ah yes, ridin' backwards, & puking in the car. Takes me back!
Reminds me of my stepdads 1978 Mercedes-Benz 250D 7 seater. Had the backwards facing trunk bench seat too. Didn't handle like a tugboat though xD
A friend of mine was a "Church Kid" and his parents owned a 1970 Ford Country Squire station wagon that had a 390 in it back in 1982 when we were all in school!! The car was in bad shape to the point where the rear bumper was literally tied to the roof rack, BUT his father had kept the motor tuned and serviced constantly!! The funny part is it ran VERY WELL even though New York weather had destroyed most of the body over the years! And my buddy would do killer ONE TIRE burn out for nearly a quarter mile long!!!!
Got a '76 Valiant for all of about $200 out-of-pocket- taxes, title, registration, tags. 88k miles, very solid. Took the 185MM wide nearly-new Toyos on 14" rims off and put some 205/60 series Bridgestones on a set of cop wheels. Traded the set for a matching-sized spare tire on a 2-piece, aluminum Chrysler "Road wheel." Set the suspension a little lower, car looks much better now. Have a set of 5 Lincoln LSC "Turbines" in 16x7 to try as well. But that's probably as big a diameter as I'd go
Would love to own one of those wagons! So many memories from growing up.
We broke a motormount in my friends CJ7 while offroading. Was coming up a steep hill with one tire way up in the air and lost the clutch and killed the engine. About pissed my pants.
Got it up over the hump on level ground.
Long story short. We used my brand new come along that I tossed in the back "just in case" and strapped the engine down to keep it from rocking and making the clutch arm all come apart again.
Wheeled it the rest of the weekend like that.
I commuted to and from junior college in one of these 67 Pontiac wagons. It was a great machine.
That's an awesome boneville!!!!
David got shook up like a soda can in the back seat!
Glad to know I’m not the only one that can’t stand those big stupid looking rims and rubber bands for tires. I also can’t stand the black rims that’s all the rage now days. I will take chrome or aluminum any day.
Or metallic silver paint with a clear coat...
Good for you
take in a heart beat!clean car.
Hurling in the back of the wagon, oh the memories!
Funny you guys are using both those cars my dad was a hot-rodder but he had six kids we have both of those cars when they're brand new remember sitting in the back facing backwards
In 1977 I had a 1967 Town & Country, Black, 440 with broken PS & PB. I used the power bench seat to improve the leverage on the steering wheel and brakes. All the way forward for steering and all the way back to lock both my knees on the brake pedal.
" Drunk dad in 1967" OMG lol
Sometimes the worst ideas are the best ideas.
These old wagons are overlooked. Better than a mini van or a suv. Nobody wants to restore a cool car like old station wagons …a sleeper car ultimate
We had a Ford Torino Country Squire back in the late '70's. I remember we were riding over some "whoop-de-doos" and my brother, riding in the back, had eaten a box of Froot Loops that morning. "Dad, I'm gonna be sick!!" All of a sudden the back of that wagon exploded in Technicolor.
8 years ago i was on a speedweek in Orsa Sweden in the winter, they were driving on the ice, when it was time for food the racing team next to us give us salt from Bonneville for the potatoes!
I am of an age where those were hundred dollar cars in my teenage and early 20 s. The stuff we used to do to those cars
wow i found people that fix cars like my dad
Love those wagons.
The fluid coming out the radiator looked like chocolate milk
Total garbage fluid haha!
Out of all the awesome cars I’ve ever been in, can’t count all out race cars, my neighbors fiancé had a brand new 69 428 Bonneville coupe, with 390 hp and every option in the book, including factory floor mounted 8 track, in dash am/fm, awesome car that left 30 footers, with the a/c on
My folks always had big GM vehicles in the 60's; a Caddy for him and a big butted Olds wagon for her. I will never forget the day I got home and saw that fire engine red '67 Pontiac Bonneville wagon sitting in the garage. That thing was huge! It was bigger than her Olds wagon!, The hood was a mile long. Handled like a tank and even with the 400, 4 bbl it was a pig. Thank goodness I had my own ride. 54 years later I still do not understand what they saw in those cars.
If you guys are ever in my area, Washington state, I have a 1994 Dodge Decrepit sitting out in front of the house. It hasn't run for years! I couldn't start it if I tried! And it could explode if you tried. But, it would be a fun car for your show! Fun times. Anyway, if you're ever in my area let me know and I'll sell it to you really cheap! But, you have to get it off the property if you buy it! LOL!
This is what Steve Douglas drove in My Three Sons....but I think his Bonneville wagon was blue. For the majority of the show's run, Pontiac provided the cars for the Douglas family.
It was Catalina wagon, which had a shorter wheelbase than the Bonneville.
Steve's serious face is amazing lol
Roadkill is fun to watch and veary informative Dulchich is cool I like wear he lives Crazy good stuff
I love this channel 😊
my dad had a 1970 Pontiac Grand Safari with the Pontiac 400 growing. thing was great. too bad he had to get rid of it
My Dad had a 1966 Bonneville wagon in dark blue.
In Canada, the Parisienne was the closest equalant to the Bonneville, the Parisienne, was a rebadged Chevy Impala.
Love the wagons😀
That comes under the heading,, most coolest!
Gosh, that engine was rocking like crazy so much it looked like it was going to fall out! Hope you guys were able to find some motor mounts! (3/21/2021)
The Pontiac was sandbagging!
I want an old wagon in a major way! I could fit my Subaru Outback in the back probably with room to spare.
nice editing! episode 11, 11 minutes, 11 seconds.. :D
My friend had a 1978 Camaro with a healthy 454 big block and this old Lady pulls up with a big old station wagon and wants to race reving her engine. She smoked up to the next light, we pull in parking lot and she had a built 502 BBC in it and tons of speed parts on the car. Her husband was a mechanic and She would troll young guys with it every weekend. I couldn't stop laughing.
Wagons💓
Awesome. Paint it white. Tint windows.
Bring Roadkill back to RUclips!
Not sure why I this is so entertaining but it is ! :)
So GOOD!
The final sequence on the track had me laughing so hard I thought I was going to hurl..
Very fun to watch!!
Watching this video makes me want to seek out a big old beast of a wagon just to hoon.
I grew up driving my moms 63 Bel-Air wagon 327 powerslide. Well called it the white tornado.
10 to 1 compression. Pontiac heads. You need to run 93 octane minimum. I have a 63 Catalina Wagon with later GP heads. 93 octane JUST barely lets it run without knock. Even with a fresh, rebuilt radiator, you will have to put a big, 4 core aluminum version with a hi-po fan clutch to make this not run hot in the warmer climates. I'm in Texas. Also, the water trick works but so will tranny fluid .
Love those mounts i had a old caddy that had a busted mount it had a ssafty latch ,but when i put to floor for a burn out the moter would flop over and the carb linkage would get stuck so the car would lay a wheel patch about 50 yards long ,had to put in N gear to shut it down big 472 gm motor smoking 1970
I love the pontiac.
Those old wagons are so cool! They just don't make cars like that today! Shame.
Learned to drive in a 69 chevy estate wagon land yacht
I love you guys!!!!!! Awesome video, thank you for sharing!!!!!
I think I’ve officially convinced myself to get the subscription...
I did a ratchet straps and sticks engine mount on my friends jeep after we sheared both engine mounts and the trans mount
That was so fun i miss u guys
I miss roadkill on youtube
As someone who owns a 67 Catalina convertible, this makes me a little sad to see this beauty in this sad shape.
Dam I miss those big boats...
epic road kill fix ,epic drag race, epic Slalom course rear seat vomit mayhem ,good times
At the GM dealer we used an eye dropper.
What are your plans for the Bonny when your done ? The body looks pretty solid. How is the frame and floors ? Pontiacs had a weak area on the frames over the rear axle. I had 5 '66 Pontiacs, all full size , and 2 had frame issues. That wagon you have is pretty rare. Being a 9 passenger wagon. Please be kind to her.
That was fun; good job guys :))
Bad motor mounts and "wagon wheels" sounds about right for the previous owners priorities.
But zip ties aren't gaining you any brownie points.
oh yah dad kickt lots of butty wit da poncho wagon. well tuned premium fuel. after blowin um away it was off to the drive in movies. thanks fo memorys,,
That is A cool wagon
Dragging wagons
Cool car!!!
None of both is able to drive a car really fast. Freiburger leans forward like a housewife on a parking lot, Dulcich holds the roof, driving with one hand... No, that won't work at all. But it's funny.
🤣
I would get some new motor mounts the water trick I've done before on a hot motor then put the water in the carb..
Dammmmm it's still going....... do y'all still have it.....✌️
