Horsepower junkie. Jeep guy.

Video Description

My first big adventure on The David Freiburger Channel is a killer road trip in a great old 1971 Ford Torino station wagon bought sight unseen. Ride along with me for wrenching with Dirthead Dave Chappelle, exploring an abandoned WWII Kaiser Aluminum plant, and hitting the road with a few breakdowns and lots of ‘40s and ‘50s Americana in Oregon, Idaho, and California. Ghost signs, old neon, a haunted asylum, a ghost town, a deserted junkyard—it’s all here, and more. My channel will feature trips like this plus project cars and engine tech. Nearly everything will be dosed with history and fun facts. If you dig it, please tell people about my channel! It also helps to watch as many videos as you can. And if you comment within a day or two of a new video being posted, there’s a pretty solid chance I’ll respond. I’ll have a new video every Thursday at 3:00 PM Pacific, at least until I gather some data and decide if you’d all prefer a different time or day.
