Vehicle Description
This is a true attention-getter. After all, if the bright paint
doesn't get all the eyes on you, the growl of the big block will.
And because it's all wrapped around the iconic body of a 1966
Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 - with all the best features - you start
to realize your dream muscle machine is ready right now.
This car is quite striking from its first impression as it mixes
speed with sophistication. It's in the way the '66 cars blend
artful touches (like the flying buttress C-pillars) with subtle
aggression (like the intimidating overhang on the hood.) And this
one really does it right. The Marina Blue has a brighter shine that
tells you there was an investment in refreshing the factory-correct
color later in life. Plus, you can tell special attention was paid
to the brightwork to make sure everything from the window trim to
the chrome king bumpers have extra brilliance. This was the first
year for the SS396 as its own separate model, and this coupe wears
its unique pieces with pride, including the blacked-out grille,
louvered hood, ribbed lower trim panels, and all the correct
badging - right down to the Super Sport fender scripts. And of
course, no sporty Chevy would be complete without iconic Rally
wheels.
This handsome bucket seat interior perfectly captures this
Chevelle's comfortable and performance dual-purpose nature. The
seats, door panels, dash, headliner, and center console have that
kind of fresh black appearance that makes us believe there was
quite a nice investment in the interior recently. But this is far
from a sea of darkness. There's plenty of shiny trim on the
Chevrolet sports steering wheel, long dash with long horizontal
speedometer, and upgraded knob-style AM/FM/cassette stereo w/aux
input. Plus, you can't miss spotting the performance features like
the upgraded Hurst T-handle shifter, and the very handy
column-mounted tach.
The engine bay was built for both show and go. The bold block
paint, ribbed air topper, and bright valve covers with Chevy's
famous heartbeat motto etched in it set off a fantastic
presentation of the big block power. So while this looks highly
upgraded, you'll love being able to tell people that this is a
1966-correct 396 cubic-inch block. And the tidy and fresh
presentation means people can instantly spot upgrades like the
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, Mallory
distributor, and aluminum radiator. This V8 fires up easily and
makes a terrific growl as the long tube headers feed the dual
exhaust. You're in complete control of this monster motor and its
muscle car symphony thanks to the desirable four-speed manual
transmission. Plus, the power steering and sway bars front & rear
make taming this beast easy.
Big power and a big presence make this real-deal SS396 a true
standout. So if you love driving an icon, and you love attention,
hurry up and grab this turn-key Chevelle. Call today!!!
