Stk 2326 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
There are some great mid-year SS396 Chevelles on the market, but
none nicer than this 1966 Retro-convertible. Our SS396 (Code
138....) received a frame-off restoration in 2014 and is pristine.
The exterior was re-shot in two-stage with Chrysler Viper Red (9
base/5 clear). It is stunning. Polished American Racing wheels
(17") provide a nice accent and the tan power-operated convertible
top (w/boot) is flawless. The handsome tan leather interior is much
more inviting than GM's original concept. A full console holds the
Muncie shifter and a tilt-wheel column mounts a Z-28 style 3-spoke
alloy wheel. Comfort features include Saden air conditioning and an
AM/FM/Cassette stereo system. The 396ci 'Rat' was bored .040 over
and totally rebuilt. This may well be the original motor, but it is
difficult to confirm, as most GM engines had no stamped VIN number
in 1966. Fuel is furnished by a Holley double-pumper (w/manual
choke) mounted on the Chevrolet manifold. Spark is furnished by an
electronic ignition and the sound is magnificent through a set of
full tube headers and free-flowing exhaust. The 4-speed manual
transmission transfers power to a 10-bolt posi-traction
differential with 3.70:1 gears. A carefully detailed chassis mounts
power steering and power disc/drum brakes. The current owner (5
years) spared no expense to create a very special car. Look at the
photos, but understand that this car must be seen to be fully
appreciated. This SS396 is ready for a new owner who will truly
value this classic Bowtie. . ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".IS'
