Vehicle Description
This is one of the best looking '66 Chevelle's you will ever find.
Starting with the '66 body style arguably puts it amongst the
best-looking cars of all time without even considering the work
done by expert craftsman and the attention to detail that has gone
into this car. But let's consider that work. Check it out.
This car has a serious bit of chassis rake to it that lets you know
it means business and the Dark Toreador Red paint on this car is
awesome. It has a super shine to it that really catches the light
showing off the smooth contours of the body including the bulging
rear fender lines that give the car such a muscular look. The
chrome all shines like new. Up front a blacked-out grill with an SS
396 badge is outlined in chrome and underlined by a sharp looking
bumper. The ridges down the hood and the tops of the fenders are
crisp and clean. Trim around all the glass received its share of
elbow grease to make it shine too and wheel well moldings as well
as polished rocker trim compliment 18" Weld forged wheels. Out
back, the sail panels of the roofline blend nicely onto the trunk
and Chevelle as well as SS 396 appears between the taillights with
a simple and clean bumper underlining it all.
Open the door and you will see that the show continues inside too.
A black interior is trimmed out with the nicest chrome you will
ever see highlighting door panels, dash and console. A custom,
black and chrome three-spoke steering wheel with a bowtie center
button will grab your attention. The column itself is polished up
with a knee-knocker tach mounted on the right. The rectangular
speedometer is flanked by the stock engine gauges with control
knobs mounted above it. In the center is an FM radio that is
trimmed in more of that sparkling chrome. Below that are the
ventilation controls that include R134 updated air conditioning,
and below that are a trio of white faced Equus gauges to keep
accurate track of oil pressure, water temp and voltage. The center
console has the T-handle shifter for the automatic transmission as
well as a clock. The seats have been reupholstered and a fresh
headliner as well as carpeting really tie the look together
nicely.
When you pop the hood, you will see that all this car's Show, is
backed up with plenty of Go. There you will find a 468 cubic inch
power house of a motor nestled down in a neat and clean engine bay.
It is a short deck 454 from an early 70's car that has stroked and
built up to make some serious power. A polished air topper feeds
fresh air to a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock
Performer 2.0 intake manifold. An MSD ignition system assures a
hot, reliable spark and Polished aluminum is plentiful with the
valve covers as well as the Vintage Air compressor and alternator
dressed for the show. Hedman headers wind their way out the bottom
leading back to Flowmaster mufflers. A 12-bolt differential with
3.73 gears gets the power on the ground while Wilwood 4-wheel disc
brakes insure that you can haul this car back down from speed. Coil
overs in the front allow some adjustability and the rubber meets
the road through 245/40ZR18s in the front and 285ZR18s in the rear
mounted on those sharp Weld wheels.
Seriously fast and one of the best looking '66 Chevelles you will
ever see. Come on down and check it out up close and personally for
yourself. We think you will be impressed.
