A Labor Of Love: 1971 Plymouth Road Runner

David Freiburger had his eyes set on a Plymouth Road Runner for over 20 years, and he finally got his dream. It was a decent car when he got his hands on it, with 95,000 miles on the dash. But with a busted up paint job among other issues, he had his work cut out for him. Check out the episode of Roadkill below, and find out how he turned this beaten down dream car into his daily driver. Enjoy.

Headed for Auction: James Bond’s 1969 Mercury Cougar

If you’re reading this write up, chances are you’re both a James Bond fan and a car buff. The movie franchise is famous for a number of reasons but our favorite is, of course, the cars.

One of those rides has recently come up for sale – the 1969 Mercury Cougar XR-7 convertible. The price tag on this Candy Apple Red beauty is expected to reach around $200,000 when it heads to auction on December 16th.

The car was used on set for the 1969 movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service starring George Lazenby as Mr. Bond. Check it out, right here, and we’ll be sure to update you with who walks away with this treasure.

The Pickup Truck Drag Race You’ve Been Waiting For

On this fine Monday we’re bringing you a truck battle you might not have known you needed. The Ram 1500 TRX debuted last month and the truck scene was shaken up by its much-anticipated arrival. The Hellcat-powered performance pickup produces a whopping 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Testing has revealed that its 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine (the same engine as the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk) enables the TRX to get from 0-62 in just 3.9 seconds.

Its main competitor, the Ford F-150 Raptor comes packed with a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 450-hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. And while that may seem tame comparatively, we never advise underestimating the Blue Oval. Lucky for us, The Fast Lane Truck pitted the rivals against each other in a drag race to battle it out on the track. Place your bets, and watch the video below to find out who comes out with the W. Enjoy.
