Vehicle Description
With its correct color combo, correct bucket seat Super Sport
interior, numbers matching big block in the engine bay, this 1966
Chevrolet Impala SS is full-size vintage coupe that offers a lot of
temptingly correct features in a very attractively restored
package.
Chevrolet's full-size Impala really looks sleek and striking in
'66, and this hardtop coupe represents it all quite nicely. The
factory-correct Sandalwood has a nice gloss thanks to a respray
later in life. We like this on the Impala, because Chevy's
designers really let this long coupe develop its line nicely. So
the extended slope of the roofline, kick-up behind the doors, and
full-length body crease look great in the sunlight on this very
straight classic. The wraparound bumpers and all the other
brightwork look like they received an investment, too. So they go
well with the upgraded polished American Racing Torq Thrust
wheels.
The factory-correct Fawn interior looks great against the exterior.
The consignor states this is original to the car, and it has a
really well-preserved presentation - particularly for being 52
years old. That's what you get on a vehicle that has averaged less
than 1,300 miles over more than half a century. You're looking at a
real-deal code-68 Super Sport, so you get great features like
bucket seats up front. They have a low-back presentation to give
this pillarless hardtop a terrific uncluttered profile when all the
windows are down. In-between is a premium center console and sporty
floor shift. The whole presentation proves this is a fine place to
spend some time. And that's a good thing, considering the full-size
Impala SS has plenty of room to carry five total in comfort. This
one feels like proper 1960s motoring with the factory Impala
steering wheel, heat/defrost sliders, and large horizontal
speedometer. Even the upgraded AM/FM stereo has a vintage look to
give you modern music without jeopardizing the vintage
atmosphere.
Under the hood is the famous 396 cubic-inch big block. This is the
original motor to the car, and so they made sure to present it
correctly. That's why you'll love the details, like the smooth
fender walls, classic top battery, and even the correct windshield
fluid refill bottle mounted inside. The block looks quite bold, and
there's a hint of flair on the ribbed valve covers that proudly
announce this big block's displacement. The V8 fires up readily and
it inhales deeply from the correct Quadrajet four-barrel
carburetor. It exhales with authority out of the upgraded X-pipe
dual exhaust. Out on the road, the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, and nice investment in
the suspension keep this a great cruiser.
This is vintage luxury and power that comes together in a
distinctive package. So don't miss your chance, call today!
