Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Ft. Lauderdale is proud to offer this 1966
Excalibur SS Roadster. The Excalibur is considered to be a
"Neoclassic" styled after the 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK. A prototype
premiered at the New York City Auto Show 1964, on a Studebaker Lark
Daytona chassis and a 290 hp Studebaker R2 289 v8 supercharged
engine. When Studebaker ceased its operations soon after, that
particular engine was no longer available. They were then fitted
with GM Chevrolet 327s, which made the Excalibur a strong performer
with a top speed of 134 mph, and capable of doing 0-60 in under 6
seconds. Just over 3,200 Excalibur cars were built, all coming from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This particular 1966 Excalibur SS Roadster is
a full frame off, nut & bolt restoration, and looks absolutely
amazing! Powered by a completely rebuilt factory 327 V8 350hp L79
Corvette engine, this sporty classic has plenty of get up and go.
Mated to a World Class T5 transmission, and rack and pinion
steering from a Pontiac Sunfire GT, one can't help but to feel all
the enjoyment of real driving. Painted in a stunning Navy Blue and
Red with Gold accent, and a matching interior, this 1966 Excalibur
SS Roadster is hard to look away from. Looking at the dash you
instantly notice the craftmanship and love put into this beauty.
The leather hood strap, amber running lights, bright shining
chrome, and new wire wheels add perfectly to elegance of this
awesome Roadster. The odometer reads 2602 miles on this 4 owner '66
Excalibur SS Roadster, so it's definitely ready to rip and run,
turning heads the entire way. An absolute pleasure to drive whether
the top is up or down, this thing will take trophies at any car
show, and steal hearts at any cruise in. Options on this
magnificent 1966 Excalibur Roadster include AC, AM/FM Radio, CD
Player, Convertible Top, Full Size Spare Tire and Jack, Power
Steering, Tilt Wheel, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Kill Switch, Wire
Wheels, and Posi Traction. To view an HD video of this 1966
