Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Chevelle is as synonymous with American performance
as baseball and apple pie are to America itself. And if you're in
the market for some vintage Detroit steel that's stylish, powerful,
and fun all at once, then this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle is just what
you're looking for. Powered by a punchy 283 C.I. V8 breathing
through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '66 Chevelle is plenty quick.
Torque is put to the pavement by a 2-speed "Powerglide" automatic
transmission, which shifts seamlessly as this Chevelle glides down
the highway. Now, what's really cool about this Chevelle is the
fact that the 283 V8, the 2-speed automatic transmission, AND the
rear end are all date-code correctly built on the same day! The
exterior's laser-straight bodylines are bathed in stunning "Regal
Red" paint, which reflects like a mirror in the sun after being
buffed to a brilliant shine. It pairs well to this Chevelle's
remarkable chrome brightwork, which has an absolutely beautiful
gleam. Furthermore, the floors, frame, trunk and jambs on this
Chevelle are all rock-solid and each present well! Additionally,
owing to this Chevelle's slightly lowered stance, this Chevelle has
an aggressive look that's hard to match! Opening this car's twin
doors reveals a gorgeous, original black vinyl interior, complete
with comfy patterned bench seats that are perfect for long-distance
drives. The show-quality interior features ice-cold factory A/C as
well as a modern under-dash stereo system, allowing the driver of
this car to cruise to their favorite tunes! This Chevelle also
comes equipped with plenty of options, including power steering,
power brakes, a lowered stance, a show-quality engine bay, an
original interior, ice-cold factory A/C, a factory AM pushbutton
radio, the original gauges & clock, an under-dash aftermarket
AM/FM/CD stereo system, vent windows, dual chrome mirrors, and a
sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a striking set
of 15" Chevrolet rally wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for a
classic, muscular look. This '66 Chevelle runs and drives just like
a brand new car, cruising down the road effortlessly. With only
73,998 believed-to-be original miles clocked on the odometer, its
got plenty of life left in it. We think it'd look great in your
driveway, so don't let it pass you by!
