The baddest 1966 LS-powered Chevy Corvair on earth.
“We were in Smokie’s ’48 Willys Jeepster on our way to the annual Mountain Moonshine Festival (in Dawson County, Georgia). I’m in the back seat with my wife, Terri. We’re sippin’ tea (’shine) and talking about what car to build. Terri says, ‘Let’s build a car we can beat on versus beating on our beautiful first-gen Camaro.’ That one was featured in CHP and called Baby Boomer’s Boom,” JB informed. “Yeah, we were just drunk,” he confessed.
Smokie Ingram thought about it … suggesting a ’66 Corvair rather than the second-gen Camaro they were leaning toward. The idea began to coalesce.
John Bradley Granger isn’t the usual car enthusiast. It’s more like he’s absorbed the concept and has been projected Zen-like beyond normal limits.
Second reason: wanted to beat Kyle Tucker and Brian Finch auto crossing. “Clearly, I needed a game-changing concept to beat two awesome second-gen Camaros,” he explained. You should know that it is a friendly rivalry—they are stone pals. JB is more road race than dragstrip, so his priority was superlative handling and a multifaceted vehicle rather than just burning a ton of rubber for validation.
