This week on Roadworthy Rescues, gearheads are in for a treat as Derek discovers a forgotten gem – a 1962 Pontiac Bonneville, left to languish for decades on a Michigan horse ranch. Dubbed “The Barneville,” this classic car is more rust than ride, presenting a unique set of challenges for Derek and his team.
The episode will chronicle Derek’s efforts to resuscitate this automotive relic. The plan involves replacing the transmission and fabricating entirely new motor and transmission mounts, a task that will test Derek’s skills and patience. But the ultimate goal is clear: to get the Barneville roadworthy again and, if all goes well, take it for a spin down the legendary Woodward Avenue.
Will the Bonneville rise from the equine-scented shadows and return to its former glory? Find out on Motor Trend, Wednesday, February 19, at 9:00 PM.
