Wherever Freiburger and Finnegan go, the crowds follow. Maybe it’s their shining personalities. Maybe it’s the hope that they see themselves in a few seconds of footage on an episode. Or maybe it’s just because it’s a group of gearheads doing something together. Whatever the case, there were plenty of rides to see at both Holley and at Beech Bend during Roadkill’s stop in town. There are guys who have been driving the entire distance with them, and there are guys who just drove out to meet them here. From the very well-done Pace Car Challenger replica to the Olds Cutlass whose fenders “waved to traffic as I was doing 80 mph on the way here”, we had a bit of everything. Check out the photos below!
I can’t recall the last time I saw such a clean third-gen Camaro. It was quiet, but looked like it was ready to carve up an autocross.
And it’s a manual-transmission Eagle, too. The want was strong.
Creepy. What was more disturbing is that I tried to unlock the other car at least twice.
This BMW 5-series’ hood is done up with blackboard material…
Couldn’t resist.
This Olds Vista Cruiser was all of the right kinds of ratty.
The owner of this Mercury had asked if the crowds would be able to race at Beech Bend. Shame they weren’t allowed to, we would’ve loved to have seen Blasphemi run against it.
The nose said Ford, the tailgate said Chevrolet, and the exhaust said, “Don’t F with me.”
This Miata was being road-tripped by Roadkill’s crew. Ok, fess up…this is a punishment for something, isn’t it?
One of the many cars making the entire journey.
It would be easy to dismiss this Kia Forte Koup, but the guy who owns it runs SCCA events with it. There’s no knocking someone having fun with their ride.
Another track-day runner, this Miats sat like an outlaw Porsche.
OOF. This rusted Cutlass was rough, but the guy who brought it works at an Ohio junkyard. His personal project is saving a Triumph TR6 that hit the yard.
This beautifully weathered Ford wagon was hiding one of the biggest surprises I’ve met yet in my automotive dealings…
…a Mercedes inline-six diesel. Creative, yes. Expected? Hell no.
