Vehicle Description
You're looking at a real-deal 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, but
this icon of American muscle has been brought into the modern age
with fuel-injected 572ci V8 power, an upgraded suspension, an A/C
interior, and so much more. So when you wrap it all in a
beautifully restored body, you know you're looking at the best of
everything.
Lemonwood Yellow is one of those defining colors for the Super
Sport Chevys. Vivid yet innocent, it made these high horsepower
cars feel unassuming - but they left an impression as they showed
everyone their taillights. This one is particularly striking
because it has been treated to a restoration where panels are so
excellent that you'll wonder if that factory really ever did make
them this straight. And with less than 2,150 miles on the build,
this is basically fresh from the restoration. It wears its
aggressive nature well with SS 396 badges on the front and rear,
racing flags on the front fenders, and "Super Sport" boldly written
in chrome on the rear fenders. And with upgrades like the cowl
induction hood and 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with
dark centers, keen Chevy fans are given some hints at the upgrades
beneath the skin.
Open the door, and you're greeted to handsome bucket seat interior
with plenty of upgrades that perfectly captures this Chevelle's
comfortable and performance dual-purpose nature. The seats, door
panels, carpets, and headliner have that kind of fresh black
appearance that lets you know there was quite a nice investment in
the interior. But this is far from a sea of darkness. There's
plenty of shiny trim on the original-style steering wheel, long
horizontal speedometer, and across the stylized dash. This one gets
your favorite elements right, like the center console with clock
prominently in the center. But there are also a ton of upgrades.
Some are subtle, like the modern R134a air conditioning running
through the stock vent controls. Others are more obvious like the
performance components such as the B&M floor shifter, AutoMeter
water temp gauge, and large AutoMeter Sport-Comp tach with shift
light. These instantly tell your senses there's something special
under the hood even before you twist the key and hear it roar.
Those exterior SS badges say 396, but the truth is there's
something far more ferocious living under the hood. In fact, those
red valve covers within the shiny and tidy engine bay do an
outstanding job of announcing the 572 cubic-inch V8. So this one is
award-worthy on the motor's presentation alone. This performance
crate V8 is rated at 620 horsepower right out of the box. Plus, it
has terrific enhancements like Accel electronic fuel injection,
serpentine belt system, and performance headers. That last one
feeds a large three-inch dual exhaust system, which should provide
the kind of intimidating rumble you require from a big block
classic. But any time you want people to know who's the king of the
streets, all you have to do is open up the electric cutouts. And
don't just listen to this thunderous sound; follow its path in the
undercarriage photos. There you'll spot an extremely tidy setup
(thanks to low mileage) that includes terrific upgrades like
tubular A-arms up front, modern springs, front disc brakes, and
thick sway bars front & rear. If that looks like a great anytime
driving package, then you'll love the other features, too. For
example, this has a 4L85E four-speed automatic transmission that's
stout enough for performance driving, and it also settles into
overdrive cruising. The power steering is an upgraded Hydraboost
unit, and the large aluminum radiator with dual electric fans means
the whole package stays cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C
pumping.
Here's a real-deal Chevelle SS 396 that has been upgraded to leave
you wanting for nothing. This is an absolutely awesome machine, so
if you want the best of everything, call today!!!
