Video surging 8.3x the video's usual pace

Supercar Blondie's vintage Ford runs on a weed trimmer engine

The barn-find conversion leaves most of the engine bay empty, but still manages a buzzing trip around town.

Supercar Blondie Story of October 19, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The video is running at 58,719 views a day, 8.3 times its usual pace (7,087).

Starting this Ford takes a pull cord. Under the open hood, where a car engine would normally fill the space, sits a tiny motor with an entirely different day job.

Supercar Blondie's "A Weed Wacker Ford!? 😱" shows a weathered 1928 Ford running on a two-stroke weed trimmer engine. Posted earlier this month, the video has added about 59,000 views in a day, roughly eight times its usual daily pace.

The footage, credited to @nbrenato, follows the car slowly reversing out across gravel before heading onto town roads. A close-up reveals the little engine connected to the drivetrain. The narrator explains that the Ford was found in an abandoned barn and modified to get it running again, then offers a useful description of the experience: "It's almost like driving a hairdryer."

For a channel whose most-watched regular video showcases the futuristic Mercedes AVTR concept, this is a distinctly different sort of engineering curiosity: less about what might power tomorrow's cars than how little can move an old one.

Viewers are picking up on that mismatch. Some marvel at the space left under the hood; others imagine neighbors mistaking the buzzing Ford for someone doing yard work. One practical suggestion would complete the transformation: fit blades underneath so it can cut the grass, too.
