Roadkill and other Motortrend shows are cancelled.

RoadKill and RoadKill Garage is a lot of Hollywood, but I agree with post #138 MopaR&D above like he said. The basis of it all in the beginning was show (Young) guys that these old cars can be fun and built with limited funds and experience. I always loved their buying a heap out of a boneyard and driving from Az, etc back to La or whatever they call home!! Yea they (company) bought new tires, and attempted to make sure they had some brakes and not kill someone. Steering? Suspension? Probably bad woreout? But fun! But they are two guys that can fix stuff! Then as time marches on, the higher end builds became more common. 55 Chevy roller with a built 426 hemi. OK.
Yes they took mostly mundane cars and built them into a fun ride, but in reality these guys had lots of new stuff given them from sponsors!! And like said, always a chase vehicle!

I flew out to Oakland, Ca from Missouri back in late 90s and bought a nice 67 383 Cuda and drove it back. BUT, the seller was an engineer with Amoco Oil, he built all his cars inc. another 67 Cuda he road raced, a 426 hemi car (67 Bel??), and this car and put 10,000 miles on it driving it. I was NOT SCARED!!! When I got to Nv. and drove highway 50 (2 lane) across Nv. and Ut. then I hit interstate in Co. Then all the way across Ks. (boring??) Most fun I ever had but it was a totally done car, but NOT a refugee form a boneyard!!!
