    • August 22, 2024

    It’s me, David Freiburger, and I am finally on YouTube! You know me from TV shows such as Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, and Engine Masters, and from magazines like Hot Rod, Car Craft, and 4-Wheel & Off-Road. On my channel you’ll see videos that are more personal to me than what’s on TV, such as my own gearhead vacation road trips. I’ll have updates on many of my well known cars, like the General Mayhem, Original Muscle Truck, Crusher Impala, and many others. You’ll also see driveway wrenching and I’ll have hot rod history sprinkled into nearly every episode.

  • S2024E02 Updates on All My Project Cars! General Mayhem, F-Bomb Camaro, Crusher Impala, Way More!

    My first big adventure on The David Freiburger Channel is a killer road trip in a great old 1971 Ford Torino station wagon bought sight unseen. Ride along with me for wrenching with Dirthead Dave Chappelle, exploring an abandoned WWII Kaiser Aluminum plant, and hitting the road with a few breakdowns and lots of ‘40s and ‘50s Americana in Oregon, Idaho, and California. Ghost signs, old neon, a haunted asylum, a ghost town, a deserted junkyard—it’s all here, and more.

  • S2024E05 30 Years of the CRUSHER CAMARO, Behind the Scenes!

    • September 5, 2024

    The Crusher Camaro has been a project car for 30 years in Hot Rod Magazine and on MotorTrend TV shows such as Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Hot Rod Garage, and Hot Rod Unlimited. This 1967 Chevy Camaro has a background defying the car crushing law, and has changed from a ‘90s street machine, to a Pro Touring look (twice), to an early ‘80s version with a blown big-block, to a street/strip ride with an LS7, and much more. This episode celebrates 30 years of the Crusher Camaro and delves into the behind-the-scenes stories of all eight-plus versions of the car.

  • S2024E06 HOW QUICK IS THE CRUSHER CAMARO?

    • September 12, 2024

    You’ve seen the 1967 Crusher Camaro in a number of issues of Hot Rod magazine over the past 30 years, and also in a bunch of episodes of Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, and Hot Rod Garage on MotorTrend TV. In this video, I’m going to test it on the quarter-mile dragstrip. For the car’s latest setup, I returned it to the way it looked when it was first finished in Hot Rod in 1995, Convo Pro wheels and all. It even has the same cowl-induction hood it had 30 years ago. The engine is a 400ci small-block Chevy, the trans is a GearStar Turbo 350, it has a Gear Vendors overdrive, and the rearend is a 9-inch with 3.50:1 gears. Prior to this video, the Camaro had run 11.75 seconds at The Strip in Las Vegas. How quick can it be at Famoso Dragstrip near Bakersfield? That’s what we're here to find out, and I’ll give you some history and trivia along the way.

This time we're on a 600-mile road trip from Colorado to Arizona in a 1971 Jeepster Commando that had been on a ranch for many years. After a bit of wrenching, we hit the highway and discover a guy living in a 1949 Chevy dealership, then find a family-owned auto parts store abandoned in the late ’80s with parts still on the shelf!

  • S2024E08 STREET RACE, SPEED SHOP, and Van Nuys Cruising Locations in 1980s Los Angeles!

    • September 26, 2024

    In this video I’ll take you to 1980s Los Angeles street racing spots and former speed shops! You’ll also see the old cruise locations on Van Nuys Blvd., the site of the abandoned San Fernando Drag Strip, and my former workplaces at Hot Rod Magazine, Burbank Dodge, and Car Junkie TV. There’s also some info on the Grand Central Air Terminal in Glendale, California, and I’m hitting all of this in my 1971 Plymouth known as The Red Duster. And there are many great then-and-now photos I love so much!

Fun, laughs, and little sleep deprivation, and some couch-riding booger eaters. You’ll also see details on a bunch of the cars that make the annual trek on the backroads to determine who has the Hot Rod Fastest Street Car in America.

  • S2024E10 My Car Was In a 1980s TV Movie, and THE FONZ F-BOMBED ME

    • October 10, 2024

    Here’s a wild story about how my 1970 Dodge Super Bee ended up in a 1984 TV movie directed by Henry Winkler and starring Scott Baio with a cameo by Danny DeVito! My car got crashed a little, another Dodge and a 1964 Olds got smashed a lot, and I crushed on Heather Locklear along the way. On top of all that, “Fonzie” dropped the F-bomb on me! Later, we made use of the automotive leftovers on our own muscle cars.

  • S2024E11 GREATEST MILITARY JUNKYARD EVER and an Arizona Americana Road Trip!

    • October 17, 2024

    Abandoned places, Muffler Men, radical old hotels, vintage neon signs, and pure Americana abound in another Freiburger vacation road trip video!

    • October 24, 2024

    It's where hot rodding began, and it’s still happening today! Racing for land speed records at the Bonneville and El Mirage dry lakes is one of my passions. In this video, I’ll walk you through the hot rod history of El Mirage Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert and also give you the basics of the race procedures with the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA). I’ll show you some of the crazy hot rods, belly tanks, lakesters, and even pickup trucks that participate.

  • S2024E13 How To Make a BEATER BETTER ON A BUDGET!

    • October 31, 2024

    In this video, you’ll watch me take this car from beater that a guy had driven daily since 1990 and turn it into less of a beater and a great-with-sketchy-paint cruiser with a little money and not a lot of labor right in my own driveway. Let me know how I did! Should I have removed the bumper? Could I have worked harder to add a stripe? What do you think of the wheels? The good news is you can change anything you like if you win the car. Good luck!

    • November 14, 2024

    It’s Part 1 of the 2024 Duct Tape Drags presented by Freiburger and Derek Bieri from Vice Grip Garage! This is the super chill event for people who understand that cars don’t have to be perfect to be fun; it’s the embodiment of “don’t get it right, just get it running.” You’ll see the cruise-in, VGG burnout pit, drag racing, and bonfire party…we’ve got it all. We covered as many participants as we could this year, so maybe YOU are in the video. My next video is Part 2 with the Battle of the Beaters race for dirt-cheap cars.

  • S2024E16 ROADKILL CANCELLED: The Story According to Freiburger

    • November 19, 2024

    On November 18, 2024, MotorTrend announced that that my TV shows would no longer be produced. That means Roadkill (13 seasons) and Roadkill Garage (9 seasons). The spinoffs were also ceased, including Hot Rod Garage, Faster With Newbern & Cotten, and Roadworthy Rescues. There are many episodes of those shows that have been produced but not aired or streamed, and MotorTrend tells me that all those unseen episodes will continue to stream on Max and Discovery+, and will also air in 2025 on MotorTrend cable TV. Some complete episodes can still be seen on the MotorTrend channel of YouTube.

    It’s the hilarious Battle of the Beaters race for dirt cheap cars with special guests Steve Dulcich of Roadkill Garage and Tony Angelo of Stay Tuned! You’ll also get a bit of Derek from Vice Grip Garage. And, of course, me David Freiburger. This is the second video from the 2024 Duct Tape Drags at Tucson Dragway, so don’t miss part one on my channel. Watch the hosts and the crowd decide if these cars are worth $5,000 or less, or if they make us happy enough that we let them run either way. Yeah, we make up the rules as we go. After judging, the cars rip or stroll down the track in a heads-up shooting until there’s only one car standing in each class. This is for the fun and the glory! Mostly the fun.

  • S2024E18 FREIBURGER’S TOP 10 CARS THAT GOT AWAY

    • November 28, 2024

    Sold way too cheap! Seller’s remorse! Yeah, I buy high and sell low. I also fall in love with nearly every car and don’t want to get rid of it.

  • S2024E20 IT WILL RUN NO MATTER WHAT! We Have to Drive this WWII Jeep 2,500-Plus Miles!

    • December 12, 2024

    Rick Péwé and I started doing the “will it run?” thing in about 1996. We’d go to a guy who had a dead vehicle, get it running in his driveway, and then road trip it on a huge adventure where we had to four-wheel along the way. We called it Dirt Every Day, or a DED Tour. In this video, we’re doing it in Rick’s own driveway, wrenching on the virtually stock 1941 Ford GPW that we drove from Phoenix to Alaska 20 years ago. This time, we’re headed from Phoenix to Key West—but the “new” engine developed a brutal rod knock. So we did whatever it took to get us on the road, and that meant installing an engine that had not run in 36 years!

  • S2024E21 ACROSS THE USA in a 1941 ARMY JEEP with Péwé and Freiburger!

    • December 19, 2024

    Another Rick Péwé and David Freiburger road trip adventure! In this video we’re driving 2,500-plus miles across the United States in a nearly stock World War II army jeep from 1941 with an engine that had not run since 1986! The goal: survive the backroads from Phoenix, Arizona, to Key West, Florida. See my prior video for the “will it run?” build, and watch this 2.5-hour special for big fun with breakdowns, Americana, amazing sights, and great friends!

  • S2024E22 BEHIND THE SCENES WITH FREIBURGER, Life After Roadkill!

    • December 26, 2024

    This is a week in my gearhead life, a behind the scenes look at my days now that Roadkill is cancelled. It’s nonstop car stuff, from the NHRA drag races to shooting videos in my garage, wrenching on my dad’s flatfender jeep, and even visiting new cars at the LA Auto Show. (For the record, I don’t think I’m getting either the Ranger Raptor or the ZR2.) You’ll also get a hint at an upcoming episode.

  • SPECIAL 0x3 D/F Extra - Exploring the LARGEST CLASSIC-CAR JUNKYARD with Freiburger

    • January 14, 2025

    Let’s dig through L&L Classsic Auto in Wendell, Idaho! This place is the largest classic car junkyard in the United States, loaded with treasures. I happened to stop by on a random road trip so I could give you a look at some of the cars while dishing out trivia and history. I apologize for the audio on this one. I didn’t expect to be shooting, so it’s all iPhone audio with the wind noise filtered out. It’s a bit odd, and won’t be my norm. It’s worth it for the junkyard greatness.

    • January 9, 2025

    Here’s the story of how street car racing went mainstream! I was on staff at Hot Rod Magazine during the creation of the legendary Hot Rod Fastest Street Car Shootout in 1992, and I was the editor when we started Hot Rod Drag Week, which was the origin of drag-and-drive racing. I’ll tell you the stories of how those events began, and I'll go way back to the 1940s through the 1970s to show you how hot rodding has always been the quest to find the fastest street car.

  • S2025E07 Story of THE CHEAP THRILLS DART, David Freiburger’s Car from Hot Rod Magazine

    • February 13, 2025

    The Cheap Thrills Dart is the car you remember from Hot Rod magazine with the hose clamp transmission mount—a piece of butchery I used to install a used 440 big-block into a 1968 Dodge Dart in my quest to run 12s in the quarter mile for less than $2,000 back in 1995. I’m not saying Cheap Thrills was the first ratty muscle car—far from it—but it was the nastiest thing Hot Rod mag had done to that point, and it influenced a lot of folks to realize that it was ok to have fun with cars that were not perfect. It set a tone for what Car Craft magazine would later become and also influenced the style of Roadkill TV. In this video I’ll tell you the inside story of how it all happened

I got a great deal on this freshly painted Mopar with a 440, a four-speed, and a nice interior, and I THOUGHT I was going to fix some stuff and road trip it home. It ended up having the worst oil leak I've ever seen, and nearly every bolt on the engine was finger tight! I spent about 10 days over two years getting the Road Runner running again, and this is part 1 of that story as I whip the 440 back to life! Part 2 is the next video on the David Freiburger Channel.

I snapped it up…then everything went wrong. In part 1 of this budget-conscious rescue series, I pulled the 440, fixed all the loose bolts, cleaned it all up, reinstalled it, and got it running. This time, it drives! At least briefly.

    Stubby Bob the wheelie truck is the greatest creation from the Roadkill TV show! Mike Finnegan and I started building this 1950 Ford F6 a decade ago. We shortened the wheelbase before installing a blown big-block Chevy in the back and doing huge wheelstands even when KJ Jones said we couldn't. When Tony Angelo got involved, it got even more ridiculous. In the final season of Roadkill, Finnegan and I road tripped Stubby Bob to the dirt drags. It got impounded, the engine seized, the rearend started coming apart, and it was generally a death trap. That didn’t stop me from buying it from MotorTrend when Roadkill shut down.

    My 1974 Jeep Cherokee is very cool and shockingly rust-free for a fullsize Jeep, but I overpaid for it on a whim before discovering it needed a lot of work, from changing the rear main seal to solving a catastrophic tuneup. This episode has a bunch of fixing stuff, and my next video will show me hitting the road in the Cherokee for even more mechanical adventures.

  • S2025E13 ROAD TRIP! SO MANY BREAKDOWNS But I OVERCAME!

    • March 27, 2025

    I lived the life before Roadkill TV, and this episode shows that I’m living it now, too. All this video really needs is Mike Finnegan. I bought this 1974 Jeep Cherokee because I loved it so much, but it had some mechanical issues. Just when I thought I’d fixed it enough for a road trip, I hit the highway and everything broke. I repaired it in a gas station, at the parts store, in a Home Depot parking lot, in an empty field…you get the idea. It’s a great adventure! Plus you’ll hear the wild story of Giant Rock. Really.

    The 1966 and 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado was revolutionary, and I never knew how cool they are until I bought one! These things are rad!

It’s dressed up as the car that raced and won at Pikes Peak in 1968.

  • S2025E17 I Bought a 1970 SUPER BEE PARKED SINCE 1989!

    • April 24, 2025

    I rescued a barn-find 1970 Dodge Super Bee that was parked for 36 years! That means it was ignored since 1989. This is my second concurrent ’70 Super Bee, as I still own my first car that I bought in 1983. This new one is a 383 four-speed car. In the video, I’ll drag out the Bee and clean it up, you’ll see me score a ton of other parts, and I’ll even walk you through an amazing collection of vintage tractors and a machine shop from 1904!
