S2 E2 • Delectable Derelicts: Exploring Rarities at Turner's Auto Wrecking

teve Magnante is back at Turner’s Auto Wrecking in Fresno, California, the spot where David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan performed their first-ever junkyard recovery mission when they revived and drove their 1950 GMC 100 truck, “Pig Pen,” out of the gates. It had sat dormant for 30 years. Now Mags unearths a “funny” Chevrolet compact, a what-if Mopar Hemi car, and a surprising pair of “independents” from Detroit. If you thought the Chevy 454 was America’s biggest V-8, or that Chrysler pioneered unitized construction, think again! As always, we’re on the hunt for the next Roadkill rescue, and this time Magnante discovers something with dirt track genes. Tech junkies rejoice as he schools us on engine cooling and the discovery of the largest driveline ring gear used during the supercar ’60s…is it a Mopar? Find out in this episode of Roadkill’s Junkyard Gold!

S2 E3 • Desert Treasure: Roadkill's Next Junkyard Rescue Found!

On this episode of Roadkill’s Junkyard Gold, Steve Magnante has struck gold! Well, more like rusty steel in the shape of a ’64 Ford Galaxie, but that’s precious metal in the Roadkill handbook. After searching through Desert Valley Auto Parts in Phoenix, Arizona, Magnante finally found something David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan agree deserves to be rescued: a four-speed, 390ci big-block Galaxie 500 XL. Along the way Magnante finds some other early factory four-speeds, big-block Chevy muscle, Oldsmobile muscle, and even some disco-era Buick turbocharged muscle. Strap your boots on and cruise through the yard with Magnante in this sneak peek into what’s in store for Freiburger and Finnegan on the next episode of Roadkill.
