Editorial Analysis

What's the best way to build a great off-road car? Buy a used desert racer! That's exactly what happens in this episode of Roadkill powered by Dodge. With an urge to go rallycross racing, David Freiburger makes a sight-unseen purchase of a 1973 AMC Hornet that raced Baja in the '80s and finished the NORRA 1000 a couple of times before being parked circa 2012. When Mike Finnegan showed up, the guys found out the 360 AMC engine ran almost too good and, despite a thorough thrashing in the desert, the Hornet failed to fail! But is it able to outrun a Dodge minivan at a real rallycross event? You'll have to watch this episode of Roadkill to find out.\n\nSubscribe now to make sure you're in on all the action!\nhttps://www.motortrendondemand.com/subscribe/freetrial/?bnr=organic:bnr:yt:rk:ep71_fe_de:link:na:mtod\n\nFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/RoadkillShow, http://facebook.com/motortrendmag & http://facebook.com/hotrodmag\nTwitter - http://twitter.com/motortrend & https://twitter.com/hotrodmagazine\nGoogle + - https://plus.google.com/+motortrend/p...\nWebsite - http://www.motortrend.com & http://www.hotrod.com\nRoadkill Shop - https://shop.roadkill.com/p
