Engine Rebuild for 1967 Crusher Camaro! | Roadkill Garage | MotorTrend

This 1967 Crusher Camaro has done EVERYTHING. It’s been around since 1994 and has been seen in HOT ROD magazine and on Roadkill and HOT ROD Garage. But now Freiburger and Dulcich have their hands on it, and they want to fix it up with a retro engine and set it up to set new top speeds at the drag strip. Will it work? (Spoiler: it's Roadkill.) #RoadkillGarage #MotorTrend #CrusherCamaro

[@sethmaki1333]

I can't believe this car is still around. I've been reading articles in Hot Rod about it since I was in my early teens and I'm 41 now.

[@TireSlayer55]

Agreed... love that it's still around, it's been around since 1994 I believe... I'm 39 now, started reading hot rod as an adolescent around '95/'96 probably and I remember HRM doing stories on this car since way back.
