  • Stolen roadkill!

    well this just sucks, one of my favorite roadkill builds.

    It’s bright yellow with stripes and stickers and patches of primer. It’s got a Olds Toronado 455 cubic inch big block mounted in the bed with chrome zoomies sticking out the back. If you’ve seen the Roadkill “Mazdarati” Mazda REPU in person, you’re not soon to forget it. Which is why it’s so freaking stupid that some…






    It’s bright yellow with stripes and stickers and patches of primer. It’s got a Olds Toronado 455 cubic inch big block mounted in the bed with chrome zoomies sticking out the back. If you’ve seen the Roadkill “Mazdarati” Mazda REPU in person, you’re not soon to forget it. Which is why it’s so freaking stupid that some thieves decided to jack the truck from the Roadkill dudes.
    The weird project truck joined the Roadkill family back in 2015 with episode 45, which is still on YouTube and can be watched below. Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have fought to get this wild thing into the 10s since then, throwing more nitrous at it than an unruly dental patient. Based on Freiburger’s Instagram post from yesterday, which depicts the Mazdarati blowing up its transaxle, the thieves would have had to first unload it from the trailer it was chained to, then push, pull, or drag the inoperable truck out of there.

    I used to have a green REPU that I put a 20b in and it would totally stomp ass. I found it parked behind a house in Hickory Creek in about 1999 or 2000 and the last inspection sticker on it was dated from 1982. It had less than 30000 miles and was in surprisingly good shape. I sold it to a Puerto Rican guy from Louisiana that was into rotaries and I do not know what has become of it.

          If they're smart they've already stripped it and burned it. I read somewhere that the headers have serial numbers on them, maybe that's what will get them caught.

                  When you put that many details into a lie it's easier to spot. You dont have to try so hard.

                    Eat shit; I still have 2 REPUs stashed in a barn and 20b's were cheap back then. There may also still be pics of it and me on the team RX-7.com website and it and I were in an RX-7 magazine published for the Japaneses market.

                      Get on eBay then, find a vintage copy of this RX-7 magazine, and post a pic on here with it next to a Dr. Pepper can.

                              I don't watch TV and got excited to see that a REPU had made it mainstream. Does anyone know what they gave for it before they started on the project? Are they a local shop? I would give them one if they agreed to paint svo855 on the tailgate.

                              I don't know about god and Adam but I do recall an event with your mother back when I had a tricked out DeLorean DMC-12......
