Outback Outcasts

Will it run? Will it drive? More importantly… will it make it home?

Welcome to Outback Outcasts, the home of ambitious automotive rescues and ill-advised road trips across the harsh Australian Outback.

We don't do boring. We track down the forgotten, the unusual, and the downright "wrong" cars for the outback—and push them on to a new life in the back country.

From barn finds and revivals to 2,000+km treks through the harsh and unforgiving Aussie outback in an EV, we’re testing the limits of vehicle engineering and our own patience.

Here, you’ll find:

Resurrecting: First starts and "Will it Run?" challenges on cars that haven't moved in years!
Outback Treks: Long-distance survival drives through heat, dust, and rough outback roads.
Weird cars: A focus on the oddballs of the automotive world - and none of them belong where we put ‘em!

Whether you're here for the mechanicals, the Aussie landscape, or just to see an old Euro car break down in the outback, you’re in the right place.
