Fans of the hit YouTube and MotorTrend shows ROADKILL and ROADKILL GARAGE will recognise this 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner. This car was host (and former long time HOT ROD magazine editor) David Freiburger’s daily driver before he switched to the now infamous “Disgustang Mustang”.
Freiburger purchased this car to be his muscle car daily driver. The car was featured on several episodes as he and co-host Steve Dulcich went through the car’s engine, suspension and brakes. The car was eventually sold on to Brian Bodensteiner, who runs specialist mopar restoration shop Bodensteiner Body Werks in Waukon, Iowa. As a testament to the car’s reliability, Brian collected the car from Freiburger in LA and drive it 2100 miles home to Iowa. Brian finished the car off before selling it to a Mopar enthusiast in Sydney.
