[@therickman1990]

I'm just amazed at how Freiburger can just randomly with every car go "in 42, they did this and then in 43 they changed this, but in 46 they did the same as in 42 and in 48.... "

[@Welcometofacsistube]

Rick te Kronnie I’m like that, with Mopar’s.

[@SubieSpecial]

Rick te Kronnie The man has a gift...it’s a beautiful mind!

[@custos3249]

Had an uncle like that. Believed about everything he said until one day I noticed it was his lips doing the talking but his cheeks.

[@jeffkill1417]

+SubieSpecial his beautiful mind didn't cut up the dented worthless hood

[@SAVikingSA]

he's an idiot savant

[@Ecosse57]

my humble advice: you guys need to hire cameramen who are actual gear heads. when dave or mike points something out maybe you should actually point the camera towards the... ya know, mechanical thing they are pointing out.

[@Leofred2000]

Cameramen are just senil humanbeings pointing their thing to what ever makes noise

[@obscelete8153]

if you notice, he made them re shoot that scene! hahaha

[@barath4545]

This. There is no reason to film the two of them talking unless they are actively gesturing. This is a car channel and not a hot chick being filmed to draw attention. Would be nice with more closeups on mechanical or trim stuff or whatever the topic is.

[@21parks]

Guys at the hot rod shop looking over security cam footage Monday morning, 🤤(spits out coffee) "is that Freiberger and Finnigan?!"

[@ALAPINO]

I'm pretty confident that what Freihotdog has forgotten in the past is magnitudes more than I know now.

[@cJared3b]

Too much focus on Finnigans face and not enough shots of the cars Freiburger is talking about.

[@normanbyrne9868]

I came here to add that comment as well. I'd had loved to see what he was talking about on that '41. And then afterwards, he didn't even pan over to the actual car. WTH?

[@szczerzo]

On my bucket list: go to USA, buy an american car from a junkyard, fix it and travel the miles visting every state there is (except Hawaii, Alaska is on the "maybe" part).

[@ericfeagley6930]

I'm amazed freiburger wearing flip flops to a junkyard

[@Welcometofacsistube]

eric feagley I’m amazed they let him. Any wrecker around here won’t let you in without shoes

[@bbo40]

That's what I was thinking too

[@ghomerhust]

thats homeless dave's trademark. he wears them in the snow

[@ericfeagley6930]

Josh Hust just thinking back of myself being in a junkyard & it sent chill's thought me I wear flip flops all the time

[@Coffreek]

And shorts. But on the other hand, the best way to keep your Tetanus inoculation working properly is to give it some exercise, every so often.

[@wrenchg3954]

Junkyard walks are one of the best parts of the show. Friberger has an incredible wealth of Automotive knowledge and the keen eye for all the rare and unknown treasures. Who doesn't love rummaging for hours through these Automotive Museum's. And every day across the country more and more get closed down unfortunately. Great work guys

[@Bennett8187]

My friends and i dragged a 1982 300d out of the woods and a bunch of mail amd stuff from the previous owner. Wanted to find the guy and be like YOU HAVENT PAID YOUR TAXES!

[@kameronouellet9132]

Ha

[@kennethblackburn8756]

Haha maybe that’s why it was in the woods...hidden from the tax man

[@Ecosse57]

i too grew up more familiar with the muscle car era but always had an appreciation for the 50s and earlier iron. love that junk yard!

[@lorenhusky2717]

That transmission is absolutely incredible. I can't believe that it held up!

[@jeepcollector91]

This was a great Roadkill Extra. I like seeing the extra Roadkill footage that was edited out of the episode. Thanks for uploading this one to KZbin.

[@Maxxarcade]

Too bad Pigpen isn't still around. It would be cool if you guys got to take it on a trip now that the exhaust is straightened out, and maybe find that previous owner.

[@Kimiskustomgarage]

Maxxarcade Man love to see you here hope you will make more videos on the future!

[@Maxxarcade]

I miss being able to make videos too. The copyright stuff has gotten so tight that I can't use any real music to demo stereos, and I also need to work a lot more hours to keep up with the rising cost of living.

[@toysoldier46552]

Maxxarcade - Just grab stock music and a CD player friendly stereo. It sucks but that is the only way around the copyright claims.

[@photondebuger45]

Make a great roadkill extra

[@arielatom03]

Maxxarcade what happened to pig pen?

[@justiceraythurber7476]

Love the junk yard walks

[@ghomerhust]

i remember doing this kind of stuff with my folks when i was a kid. scrap yarding is now a tradition in my family

[@overkillaudioinc]

The robot with the spinny things....was Maximilian from the Disney movie "The Black Hole" which i still have nightmares about!

[@Coffreek]

Did a member of the crew need to stay with the Disgustang when they pulled into a junkyard so that nobody from the yard picked it up and started stripping it for parts? I'm just wondering.

[@Funtimes670]

Coffreek I was thinking the same thing! They were brave to leave it parked anywhere near that place!😂

[@neverstoplearning7214]

Guess I'm not the only one who thought that

[@groovyhippie1165]

I always love these little side stops, I get just as excited as they do and I always learn something from their vast knowledge of ol' junk. :)

[@danielc5205]

Yes, 1974 was Ford's first extended cab and '83 was Ford's first factory made crew cab for the F-350 SRW/DRW only.

[@lelandeggleston1041]

I would watch a full episode of Junk Yard Crawls across the USA.

[@unholyrc7596]

The camera man needs to be fired

[@gregh7457]

He was trained in hollyweird. Its all about the "stars"

[@deanpolis4516]

Dave should just have his own show where he talks about cars like he did with the fords. He seems really knowledgeable about them and i enjoyed hearing him talk about them. Felt like a history lesson :)

[@jeffadams4590]

I could watch you guys just driving around and talking about things you drive by just like this and be entertained lol

[@alexcrouse]

Slightly terrible camera work on this one. Point at what he's talking about! Otherwise, great!

[@lobmin]

Now _this_ is how you leave feedback!

[@OriginofPain]

You're an idiot.

[@lu1sflaco]

i love the show guys very fun and educational. wish they visit my city

[@TheGimpy117]

the distress in Finnegan's voice over the rare boat that got hacked up

[@opmechgamer1431]

Mike Finnegan rides the Discustange to a Junkyard full of retro cars and says I'M HOME!

[@jrmyers6932]

Best show on KZbin

[@meteormedia7021]

I'm absolutely not a Ford guy, but back in the day they absolutely nailed the design of the Mach 1. It just looks so great

[@daveforsythe9021]

Love your show. It’s so nice that you have so many preserved cars down there that you can take them for granted. I’m in Canada. Love all the beautiful old cars/trucks that still survive out of the rust belt. I have a 69 K20, and an 86K30 srw with the factory 454. No offence meant. Just jealous!

[@opmechgamer1431]

Love the show

[@PlatypusVomit]

Pigpen was one of my favorite cars you've done. I was gutted when I found out you sent it down the road. I had been majorly looking forward to seeing it again.

[@CarswithNash]

I’d love to have that sweet ‘57 International that was sitting up behind you just as you ended your conversation with the junkyard owner!

[@georgemurison4949]

Love Internationals, have a 1973 was my grandpas service truck on the farm

[@OldDirtGuy]

You receive one official dope slap for not showing the flat head V12.

[@jacobaguilar6756]

freiburger is just an awesome person who loves cars and what they all stood for at one point and its awesome to have someone else like me who obsessed to the max of cars it amazing!!!!!!! up most respect!!!!!!

[@opmechgamer1431]

Mike Finnegan mentioned he likes 50s 60s mussle cars, I like 70s and 2000s era of vehicles. Genral lee for life man! My dream truck would be a Ford blue 2020 Rapter ranger F150.

[@opmechgamer1431]

Mike: this is a rare boat. Friburger: its road kill its going to get ruened.

[@jfb8067]

Now that is a "Road Kill Extra" even though it was like a "Road Kill Snip" why don't you give all your actual extra footage to the "new person" and have them hammer it into a few Road Kill Extra's no one has seen yet?....

[@roostercogburn2600]

Flim the cars your talking about instead of just filming you talking about them

[@badhat1973]

I've always loved junkyards.

[@user-dj6ht8dl8k]

You're either going to love or hate this,but my three brothers and I all owned and drove mustang muscle during our highschool years,we combined for 3 69's,2 70's( one was a 428Cj/mach 1 all were fastback models, we had a Frankensteinish straight axle ''65 coupe stripped & lightened. No hinges only hood pins.

[@GlobalHawkEye1]

Men, I always waiting for new episode. Peace from indonesia. Good luck guys.

[@allenmckinney9533]

My local junkyard doesn't have much on classics but I still like walking around it.

[@cw3040]

Freiburger has brass balls going to a junkyard in shorts and flip-flops.

[@planpitz4190]

LOL!Randomly visiting people with shades ,black Hats and T-Shirts on the two look as intimidating as the Blues Brothers misbehaving in the Restaurant scene ! Freiburger and Finnegan could at least take off the sunglasses while talking to the guy as a minor courtesy from petrol head to petrol head.; -)

[@planpitz4190]

I really had loved to take a look at that Flathead V12!

[@a1duzit]

they should do like a episode were they actually take something and put it completely back

[@opmechgamer1431]

Thanks for the ford into Mr. Friburger.

[@kh40yr]

Lucky they didn't pick your stinkstsang up with the forklift and head for the crusher. The older Rancheros have the proper width for a complete 9" diff for Trifive chevys,,,,,and if you can find one with a posi,,good days!. 59 1/4"-1/2" full oem width I think it is. 9inch big bearing truck/ranchero housing for $75 at the wrecker for me. Saved me alot of cash and it was built good enough for a bit of sticky track work. SAVE THE JUNKYARDS!!. Kudo's to owner Steve for the buyout of that one.

[@ObsoleteOddity]

I love how Americans are allowed to drive cars in that condition - here in Switzerland the motor registry officials would have a coronary. The rat-rod look is very cool.

[@TheAlmightyErnst]

ObsoleteOddity Well... "allowed" is perhaps a bit of an overstatement. But as long as it's insured, the fines for registration and inspection are fairly minor.

[@silkysixx]

"we won't make Roadkill exclusively pay-to-watch" but we will cut the bits you used to watch it for and only make them available to subscribers.

[@imagearchy4782]

Fun fact! The actual first production crew cab was a 1959 Crewcab Transporter Volkswagen!

[@richard_lerma_jr]

Love that Mustang

[@grandpamoonstone7772]

Mike you don't know shit about old old cars but man you got the soul behind them.

[@4DIYers]

All those poor cars rusting away... They need to be saved!

[@jimmyjimmy19702010]

I’d estimate these guys are approximately 1/2 as entertaining as they think they are.

[@kennethblackburn8756]

jimmyjimmy19702010 which is ten times more entertaining than all the fake car shows on Discovery.

[@user-qp3pc3xt1g]

Awesome thanks

[@8908chopperjoe]

For the love of god I love what you guys do and I learn a lot on how to use zip ties lmao but please restore an old glory day 1940 moonshine vehicle to its rightful glory

[@abdirahmanosman1553]

Love these two guys... Keep up the great work... FYI if y'all need someone to take a piece off your hands I'm game seriously

[@dmcnamara9859]

They drove from Oakhurst to Mariposa on the 49....wonder how fast they went down that 7%+ Grade before the CalFire Station on the left like 4 miles after crossing the bridge northbound.

[@stinkbandit]

I'm a big fan of Freiburger's all original 78 flip-flops.

[@kenh8334]

That Ford pickup... 😍

[@gokartsminibikesandmore9925]

Couldn't watch it id cry

[@znerkithesnuser6451]

The 1969 mach 1 Mustang is the best, I love this car!!!!

[@jRodzGarage]

That junkyard is in my home town!!!

[@shaunclifton5281]

I am a Mopar guy, but I LOVE Disgustang

[@raymondziesmer4976]

International Harvester had a crew cab. I know for sure 1970.

[@dposer10]

actually international had a 4 door pickup earlier than the 70s but they are super rare

[@Tater4200]

Man i love that car....i love em all...i wish i could find a really cheap classic

[@opmechgamer1431]

Hey Finnegan you should have brought a tent with the discustang if you feel so at home in a reto car filled junk yard. Had you have done that after the Discustang Roadkill episode and just did that for the roadkill extra. Just thought you should know for next time.

[@shaynechild2517]

That woukd be cool to make a one of those 40ish cars run with gaint blown hemi!

[@22mangles]

I like those who can ask a question like “ why has it got a fried egg on its head” then just walk away, hehehe

[@quietmale00101]

it was the 73 dodge club cab the same year in the cab gas tank were outlawed

[@PLANBSKATER100]

I refuse to pay motor trend

[@Shockedbywater]

You are so cool, I can't believe you bless us with your words of wisdom. What a time to be alive!

[@danj4503]

Same

[@ghomerhust]

i wont pay them either, but actually we sort of are by watching their videos. they get paid whether you subscribe or not. so you are actually still paying them, just not in a monetary sense

[@paulragu2417]

DatNigga Jeezus Then don’t. Nobody is forcing you. Yet, you obviously watch their videos, since you commented on one. So you will watch their videos, they put out for free, and expect these guys not to get paid for what they do. I expect that you are watching these videos, on some sort of device you didn’t pay for, on a network you don’t pay invoice for, in a home you don’t pay mortgage or rent for, drive to work in a car you don’t pay for, and you drive that car to a job, and tell your boss you are working there for free now.

[@danj4503]

Paul Ragu KZbin is a place where videos are made for love of it not for the money, so no I don’t expect to be told to go else where to pay for something on their own platform

[@wrenchg3954]

Oh, the camera man needs to focus more on the items that they are talking about. I would have LOVED TO SEE THAT V 12! I had no idea that those even existed.

[@andrewlitchfield4843]

Wow heaven!!!

[@Calaveras32Spcl]

In the 2010's I saw a complete 40's Pontiac sedan (don't know exact year) in a Pick N Pull yard in Stockton CA. Wanted that car so bad, but as a broke college kid in my early 20's I couldn't afford it

[@danielantoniozd26]

Re upload?

[@danielantoniozd26]

Any events in Cali coming soon?

[@itsjustcam247]

Big question for you Freiburger; Stubby Bob's Ford Flathead v8- What's it going into and when? I've heard talk of a flat fender jeep and I think that would be incredible but I worry I won't be able to see it on KZbin. I have been eager to see that engine in something ever since the first Stubby Bob episode. You two have had many many cool engines but I've always thought you've needed to get into a Flathead v8. I mean, I know they don't make a lot of power by any standard but they're one of the most iconic and revolutionary v8s of all time and it would be awesome to see you guys make use of the one from Bob. Would love to hear back from you, Stay awesome.

[@matthines5150]

MF is such a living wealth of automotive knowledge and history. We must save his brain for download and study by future generations!

[@brian_sipe]

You guys had the perfect opportunity to snatch up that penny farthing, smh...

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

Brian Sipe they most likely don,t know what it is. but Mike and Frank sure do.

[@skuzzyj]

Brian Sipe Was hoping I wasn't the only one to notice that

[@markhar9ld650]

They did make an extended cab square body Chevrolet trucks but only in Texas!

[@johnkramer7161]

Those trucks weren't built like that from the factory, so they don't count

[@markhar9ld650]

Bulit by choo choo customs who also built the El Camino SS in the eighties and More Chevy conversion Vans including the first ones in the late seventies considered by Chevy a GM factory thereby making it a true cheverolet

[@ICESCULPCHA]

You guys should build a V12 car

[@ford_truck_garage]

PSA, the original Hot Rod Lincoln had a flathead V12.

[@dominickirkwood]

I love it

[@cobra454tim]

Hey Freiburger where the hell is the salad bowl of power?

[@williamsanders468]

I would really want them to do like a 64 T-bird

[@gsichtle1]

love this shit, regards from germany

[@gpwnt]

I like Dulcich and Freiburgers chemistry a lot more

[@vr6swp]

There was an extended cab Chevy squarebody, sold thru some Chevy dealers. They were built by an outside contractor though.

[@myinfo3406]

vr6swp 🤔awesome

[@jdrok5026]

That was rare tho

[@johnkramer7161]

It didn't come like that from the factory so it doesn't count

[@neverknow7716]

What up roadkill

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

Finnegan needs to make a boat car with a PTO

[@1InfinityShade]

What were/are you guys doing in Washington?

[@colind9638]

Poop of one kind or another seems to feature quite heavily in Roadkill I’ve found

[@anthropicandroid4494]

LOL the camera guys are totally trolling us; what '41 Ford? I didn't see no flathead v12... they had an impressive dance around the shop owner's entrance though!

[@mchristr]

With all his salvage yard adventuring I'm guessing Freiburger stays current on his tetanus shots.

[@shartne]

I would really like to see that 69 get the sheet metal replaced and painted.

[@xsniperprox1]

wonder if Freiberger has ever stepped on a bolt or two in his flip flops walking around junkyards like that.

[@spencergorringe9448]

I was hoping he'd get one of those many dog turds between his toes myself LOL

[@Kris_T_]

I thought I'd seen it before... I figured they'd stuck the boat car clip on the end of two videos by mistake.Their KZbin channel is beginning to feel like a promotion for their subscription only content. Which I guess is the bigger issue.. I do like the idea of shows having more independence, thus having more creative freedom, but the flip-side of that, is more shows becoming essentially pay-per-view. It might get more common for shows to start charging, especially since adpocalypse(s) & recent KZbin rule/financial changes. I personally think it's a shame KZbin creators have to ask their viewers for money at all, be it subscription or patreon or whatever. That's what advertisements are for, but adsense revenue has been diminishing for years, so what can creators do but hold out the begging bowl. It's a disgrace on Google/KZbin's part, they're tax-dodgeing behemoths that make billions. (& no I'm not a jaded creator, I'm just a viewer).

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

It always makes me sad to see cars rotting away. At one point, it was someone's brand new pride and joy. Then, it's sitting unloved in a junkyard or a field.

[@k0rndog93]

I always feel that way too! Sometimes I see an old abandoned car, and just wonder who took delivery of it brand new, was it a man or woman, family or single, etc.
