In episode 40 of Roadkill, hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan teamed up with Steve Dulcich to rescue a ’70 Plymouth Duster stuck in mud at Dulcich’s farm. After fitting it with a big-block Mopar, they achieved a quarter-mile time of 12.34 seconds. Now back in Roadkill Garage, the Crop Duster has been upgraded with a powerful 500-horsepower 383 engine. Recently returned from Hot Rod magazine’s Drag Weekend, it faced issues like a wiring fire and fuel delivery problems, resulting in a disappointing 12.06-second run. Freiburger and Dulcich tackle these challenges with enthusiasm, aiming for that elusive 11-second timeslip.
