One of the biggest free car shows and food feed in Bannock County, the 17th Annual Client Appreciation Car Show & BBQ!

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.
