17 years of free cars & food?

17th Annual Gate City Real Estate’s Client Appreciation car show and food feed at O.K. Ward Park in Pocatello, Idaho.

I wasn’t expecting so many cars at a free event, but reportedly it is the biggest such event in Bannock County.  Gate City Real Estate also calls this event their ‘company picnic’, yet everybody is invited!

Here is a few of the many cars (pardon my Summer Time Allergies):

Some more cars:

Another sampling:

Free food line.

Even after two hours of checking out the cars, they still had plenty of BBQ:

The sky got smoky from all the wildfires, but it actually made for a cool sunset.

The show is over, part-1:

Can’t wait for the 18th Client Appreciation car show and food feed!

This is the front.

The builder claims it is a Chevy Truck!

Is it actually a 4×4 Chevy Impala?

Bad Gas at the free car show and B-B-Q feed fest?

June 2024: 13th Annual SAC Oldies Rod & Custom show & fundraiser!

Full scale kit-bash? The builder claims it is a Chevy Truck!

Actually, the builder says it is the remains of several 1980s Chevy trucks, which were rotting away on his property.  Plus, wherever else he could add from his junk collection.

Special custom air cleaner? I thought the builder was trying to keep the rain off the motor, but no, he just needed somewhere to put an abandoned trash can lid.

It took place in O.K. Ward Park, on the northwest side of Pocatello, on 08AUG2024.

The rear steering requires somebody to sit in the back and operate with a crank handle.

Here’s my video:

Rear steering gearbox and rear axle are from the front of an old 1980s pickup.

Here’s my video:

The current owner gave me the back story to this 1966 Chevy-2 Super Sport.  The original owner used it for drag racing until finally permanently parking the car in his garage.  After more than a decade, another guy came along looking for a project to use his Chevy LS-1 motor and 6-speed manual transmission on.

The current owner revealed to me that the old-skool fuel injector set-up is fake, it is actually a glorified air cleaner housing for the carburetor hidden underneath!

Even though it has a modern 6-speed manual transmission, it sports an old Hurst style 4-speed shifter.

The current owner drives his fake-news gasser around town whenever he can, yes it is street legal.

This Orange Crush almost crushed the East Idaho builder/owner out of ten years of his life, now it has spent the past three years dragging the builder/owner through the ‘professional’ car show circuit (even winning some awards)!
