Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Impala has been restored with vibrant red
paint, a nice bucket seat interior, and the right flair to show off
the hardtop profile. But what really is going to make you fall in
love/lust is this sleek machine also has a dual-quad big block
under the hood and all the right components backing it up.
While a full-size vintage coupe is always a great idea, this one
seems to do it better than most. The '66 Impalas were part of a new
era that made them longer, lower, and sleeker. Plus, the crisp
lines with a "kick up" behind the rear door makes this downright
sporty. The factory-correct Regal Red paint seems to capture this
attitude nicely by offering a higher degree of gloss and shine with
the modern application. It's part of a restoration that the
consignor states was done less than 3,000 miles ago, and the
overall fresh feeling of this Impala backs that up. You see this
quality in the total appearance, right down to the brightwork on
the wraparound chrome bumpers, full-width grille, and upgraded
American Racing Torq Thrust polished wheels.
You can tell they also invested nicely in the black interior. The
seats have the look of new, and they are correct, right down to the
Insignia rim. There are sporty bucket seats up front, and they have
a low-back presentation to give this pillarless hardtop a terrific
uncluttered profile when all the windows are down. The whole
presentation proves this is a fine place to spend some time. And
that's a good thing, considering the full-size Impala has plenty of
room to carry five total in comfort. There's even an AM/FM stereo
w/CD changer for upgraded driving music. But the best features are
reserved just for the driver. You get a grippy Grant sports
steering wheel, auxiliary gauges mounted under the dash, and a
large column-mounted Sun Super Tach. That last one can be
particularly handy with the upgraded Hurst dual-gate shifter.
You're going to love lifting the hood and showing off this big
block power. After all, it's a tidy setup showcasing the dual air
toppers that are an instant indicator of two four-barrel
carburetors on top. And you're going to love this one for far more
than just dual-quad power. This 396 cubic-inch V8 has been bored
.40 over, and it has been enhanced and fortified further with solid
lifters, roller rockers, and a Comp Cams camshaft. This mighty V8
is supported by the right components, like an MSD ignition and an
aluminum radiator w/electric fan. The stout TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission has a shift kit for to maximize the
powerband, and this feeds a 12-bolt Positraction rear end with 3.55
gears for all-around confident driving. And speaking of confidence,
this one feels solid on the road thanks to new suspension
components, including the boxed rear arms with sway bar. Add in
power steering and power brakes w/discs up front, and this powerful
Impala is also a great all-around cruiser.
This is a bold red hardtop with the power to back up its sleek
look. That makes for an awesome classic you need to get your hand
on right now. Call today!!!
