Boy that car is in bad shape. More or less a carcass. I don't know how its staying in one piece. The passenger rear QP looks like its ready to fall off with that rust fault line running front to back along the top.


Keep old mopars alive.

Actually, the floors don't look too bad in it.

Fortunately everything is available for 2nd gen Chargers.

Finnegan seems to me one of the most likeable guys on TV; one of the guys you know would be fun to hang out with.
Seems like a low-key, unassuming, regular guy with some real chops and a great sense of humor.
The 2 guys that appear with him seem pretty cool too.

Yup, best show crew on Motortrend, because Fin picked them himself. Whoever is choosing the staff for the other shows needs to find another job.

Met Mike at Brainerd, when they drove the Draguar there, and filmed an episode. He was inline behind me to buy a corndog. Since I was wearing a Drag Week shirt, we talked for a while. Very friendly in person.

I agree, any of the RoadKill series (Roadkill Garage I like the best) are really good, Finnegan shows are good as well. It seems Dulich and Freiberger mesh really well. Finnegan being younger than the other two, seems to take less of a lead role vs. the other 2 guys. I think he just needs someone more his age to team up with. I think Tony D would be a good matchup. They both seem to be less verbose and let their projects do the talking.

All the guys in the original MotorTrend shows are legit. They didn't come to make TV, we were all writers at magazines and got thrust in-front of the camera.

I've been friends with all of the crew since before Roadkill. We have all hung out, sat back, had a good time. My blue Challenger has taken nearly all of the guys back to the hotel at least once or twice. I felt bad sticking Freiburger in the back seat and Dulcich in the front... but that's for another day.

how much did he buy it for?

Doesn't look like a real Daytona given that rear window

It's not a real Daytona. He says so about a dozen times in the video.

David and Finnigan are good guys and enjoy the junk they buy and work on. I keep missing them to schedules and such. The shows never disappoint. That pile deserves them as they are not afraid to work on it and make something better than what it is now. Now the car they are buying this Monday is something I can relate to and have had a few of that model. Luckily for them, I don’t need to own them all.

What car is that? They just built a Momsoon (AWD 4.3L Safari van) to try and beat a Typhoon and Syclone. They put twins in the back

Yeah, they did that build, looked kind of fun. Yes, they will be in (redacted) talking to (redacted) at (redacted) about buying a (redacted) to (redacted) for the show and plan to (redacted) and get (redacted) (redacted) home.

Sorry, not going to post a spoiler that would ruin it for those waiting for the show to air, make trouble for the people dealing with the guys and possible compromise a filming location because I got a little info. When they are done and gone and post something about it on their media sites, then I’ll post some info. All that I can say is, that I passed on the (redacted) because I knew they were interested in it a felt they would make something more of it than I could.
