Looking to create an awesome off-road vehicle? The answer is simple: grab a used desert racer! In this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge, David Freiburger seizes the opportunity to dive into rallycross racing by purchasing a 1973 AMC Hornet sight unseen. This car has a rich history, having raced Baja in the '80s and completed the NORRA 1000 a few times before being sidelined around 2012. When Mike Finnegan arrives, they discover the 360 AMC engine is surprisingly robust, and despite some intense off-road challenges, the Hornet holds up impressively. But can it beat a Dodge minivan in a real rallycross showdown? Tune in to find out!
