FREIBURGER BOUGHT STUBBY BOB FROM ROADKILL! Yes, the Wheelie Truck is His! So Much Fun Stuff To Come With This Thing!
Stubby Bob, arguably one of the more memorable Roadkill project vehicles. This one did a giant wheelie thanks to the blown Chevrolet sitting over the REAR tires. It was nothing if not awesomely entertaining. If there was one good thing that came out of Motortrend shutting down all their TV shows, it is that they gave all the previous show cast members the option to buy whatever project cars they wanted. I don’t know what the exact prices were on most of the cars, but I do know that a couple were real real cheap because nobody else would buy them in their after show condition, but since the cast members knew the cars so well anyway, it wouldn’t be as big a deal for them. And so the buying began.
From what I hear, everyone seemed to have gotten first shot at any of the cars from their own shows, and then could say whether they wanted anything else from the other shows. I don’t know what David had to give for Stubby Bob, but I bet it’s cheaper than you might think. I hope it is as much fun as we all expect, and can’t wait to see what other craziness happens with it.
Video Description:
Stubby Bob the wheelie truck is the greatest creation from the Roadkill TV show! Mike Finnegan and I started building this 1950 Ford F6 a decade ago. We shortened the wheelbase before installing a blown big-block Chevy in the back and doing huge wheelstands even when KJ Jones said we couldn’t. When Tony Angelo got involved, it got even more ridiculous.
In the final season of Roadkill, Finnegan and I road tripped Stubby Bob to the dirt drags. It got impounded, the engine seized, the rearend started coming apart, and it was generally a death trap. That didn’t stop me from buying it from MotorTrend when Roadkill shut down.
