The Crusher Camaro has been a project car for 30 years in Hot Rod Magazine and on MotorTrend TV shows such as Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Hot Rod Garage, and Hot Rod Unlimited. This 1967 Chevy Camaro has a background defying the car crushing law, and has changed from a ‘90s street machine, to a Pro Touring look (twice), to an early ‘80s version with a blown big-block, to a street/strip ride with an LS7, and much more.
This episode celebrates 30 years of the Crusher Camaro and delves into the behind-the-scenes stories of all eight-plus versions of the car.
Two corrections: the image of Rob Kinnan with a pair of seats is not from the Crusher build, as I stated. Those are his ’69 Camaro seats. The headrests are a giveaway I overlooked. ALSO, the reat tires from 1995 are Mickey Thompson Indy Profile, not Sportsman Pros as I said the first time.
Listed below are links to a limited 30th anniversary T-shirt and to a number of MotorTrend and Hot Rod full episodes with the Crusher. Also, the MotorTrend app has scans of every page of Hot Rod Magazine backissues so you can go read all the stories about the Crusher! You can see the TV episodes streaming on Max and Discovery+—D/F
