The Project Car: The "Disgustang"
- Vehicle: 1970 Dodge Challenger.
- Current State: The car is a genuine survivor of Roadkill history. It was previously featured in Roadkill Episode 44 ("Single-Legged Burnout Hero"), where it received a major makeover including a 12-valve Cummins diesel engine swap (from a school bus) and a Ford 9-inch rear end.
