Roadkill: Long Live the Raunchero! (Motor Trend, Tuesday, May 13, 2025)

Roadkill

For fans of automotive mayhem, the ’68 Ford Ranchero known as the “Raunchero” has become a “Roadkill” legend. This Tuesday, hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan take their beloved 302-powered project car on one last epic road trip before it’s officially retired to the Old Montana Prison & Auto Museum in Deer Lodge.

Expect 1,100-mile journey filled with the usual “Roadkill” antics: questionable mechanical decisions, roadside repairs, and plenty of good-natured bickering. As they cruise toward Montana, Freiburger and Finnegan reminisce about the Raunchero’s colorful past. It’s a farewell tour, a celebration of a car that’s seen more than its fair share of open road and duct tape.
