Vehicle Description
You're looking at a real-deal 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396, but
this icon of American muscle has been enhanced even further with
fuel-injected 454 big block power. So it's hard not to love an
upgraded monster motor with all the right suspension and drivetrain
upgrades added, too. And that's far from the only custom pieces on
this hardtop.
Chevy fans are probably doing a double-take on this one. Yes, this
is a '66 Chevelle, but it has the more aggressive front end of the
'67. It's a cool custom piece that requires a lot more work than
just adding a grille. And once they finished modifying the body,
they finished it off with a super-slick coat of black paint. While
the presentation is unique it's also important, because this was
the first year for the Super Sport 396 as its own separate model.
The coupe wears its unique pieces with pride, including the
blacked-out tail, faux hood vents, ribbed lower trim panels, and
even the 396 badging on the fender (more on that in a moment.) This
SS396 is now more aggressive than its siblings from the factory,
and so a great finishing touch is the set of 17-inch American
Racing Torq Thrust wheels.
Open the door, and you're greeted to a handsome bucket seat
interior with plenty of upgrades that 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 makes us believe there was quite a nice investment
in the interior. And this sea of darkness is broken up by some nice
wood on the upgraded steering wheel and dash trim. There's a
terrific AM/FM/CD stereo system that includes three amps, a
subwoofer, and even Bluetooth connections. Plus, you instantly can
see this is a performance machine by the B&M shifter, auxiliary
gauges, and large AutoMeter pillar-mounted tach. And yes, you did
spot a Holley Sniper EFI control module on the center console to
dial in your ideal performance.
So those SS badges on the outside say 396, but the truth is there's
a 454 big block living under the hood. It looks fantastic in the
engine bay with plenty of shiny components and the black valve
covers matching the smooth fender walls. This V8 has the right
supporting components like an MSD ignition, steel braided lines,
and a new Optima red top battery. You'll understand why they say
"there's no replacement for displacement" the moment you turn the
key and hear the roar of long tube performance headers that feed
the dual exhaust. And that Holley fuel-injection system delivers
the best in performance and reliability. In fact, this one has an
ideal balance of performance and strength thanks to a Monster 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission that was installed in 2016 (a
$3,500 investment.) They also invested in the suspension. The rear
now has Hotchkis boxed trailing arms, air ride shocks, and Lakewood
springs. Plus, there's power steering and Wilwood vented front disc
brakes.
The sale comes with build receipts, maintenance records, service
manuals, and the owner's manual. There's even the components for a
NOS system. It's a unique and powerful Chevelle that will only
disappoint if you miss this deal. Call today!!!
