The Rubber Duck is one fun car to watch. It isn’t some awesome race car that leaves the starting line perfect or that has some crazy high dollar engine. Nope, it’s a barn find that has only been modified in order to keep it safe and to keep it from breaking more than it has to. It has a Big Block in it that Finnegan and Newbern are clueless on with regards to the internal components. But it seems to be making some real power with the blower on top and it sure does look cool! Here is the latest video from its quickest pass yet and the adventures that got it there.
Video Description:
In Episode 175 of Mike Finnegan’s Garage, we take the Rubber Duck, my 1967 Pontiac Firebird back to where we found it, Paradise Dragstrip in Calhoun, Georgia. This was the 1/8 mile track next to the barn where the track’s owner, Otto, last raced this car and where the car was hidden for nearly 16 years. This is the second time I’d driven the car at Paradise. The first time was right after we got the car out of the barn and running again. The wounded Big Block Chevy only pushed the car to a low 8 second pass. This time, we managed a 6.07 at 116 mph and I couldn’t be happier. Check it out.
