Default Thank you roadkill for using a Pontiac in your first episode ( kinda late)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOYlloxcRZA always thought this was cool.

Freiburger pulled a '71 T-37 out of the junkyard for an upcoming episode.

I'm surprised he saved the T-37. He has said in the past how much he hates Pontiacs. Maybe his time with Finnegan and Lohnes has helped him change his mind?

I've seen all the episodes, most a few times. You could tell in the original episode they were trying to figure it out. The newest episodes are decent but nothing as entertaining as most of the original 70 or so.

I dig what MotorTrend on Demand is doing. Not all the shows are winners, but they come off as way more genuine car shows than anything on cable.

So someone, in this day and age, "finds" a complete 71 T37 in a boneyard? Seems a bit sketchy, at the least.

That T37 looks better than half the crap in the For Sale section on this site.

It may be so but I haven't heard or read him saying that...while he has his favorites (Mopars, flat fender Jeeps) I think he likes most anything as long as it's cool in one way or another.

Finnegan has a pretty hot 1969 Firebird, I think he had it in Drag Week or on the Power Tour a couple years ago.

I enjoy Hot Rod Garage with Lucky Costa, and also follow his own short videos on YouTube - He doesn't waste any time with cinematography but he works on a lot of interesting cars and seems to crank out a ton of work for a one man shop.

He sold that to his brother a while back to pay for another aluminium Hemi in Blasphemi

There was a guy at Hot Rod Magazine that had a 64-67 LeMans. It got some work done to it that made it to print, he has been gone from there for a while, not sure where. I liked the gal writer in HR mag. Her articles were always fun to read. She is not the typical female car enthusiast....

IF the license plate is correct, I know the yard he got it out of....and YES, there are complete cars in this yard!

Up until very recently, on his monthly column inback of HR Magazine, there was a picture of him, and in the background was, a 79-81 Trans Am, maybe Gold? I wonder if that was his???

I've enjoyed all of the episodes myself. And yes, that first one with the road trip in the 72 Cat was a great kickoff.

Sure happy to see another Pontiac coming for a future episode. Maybe Dulcich is having an impact on him after their road trip in Steve's 67 Bonne wagon? Hope so!
