Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
I picked up this 1966 Chevy II SS back in '88 on a Saturday. I was working until noon and while waiting to close up shop I came across it in the AutoTrader. The guy wanted $1000 so I borrowed the cash from the cash drawer at work and went to see the car. It was 100% stock when I bought it with a 283ci motor and a Powerglide trans. I drove it just as it was for about 3 years before I started to mess with it. I have kept all the original parts in storage.
