Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this beautifully-restored
1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396. This 138 series Chevelle SS has a
396 CID V8 and 2-speed Powerglide automatic. Built to L35 specs
(396CID/325HP), the big 396 sends its twist out back to a
limited-slip (Posi-trac) GM 12-bolt rear end with 3.73:1 gears,
which is an excellent ratio for both acceleration and cruising with
the 'Glide tranny. This 1966 Chevelle SS for sale has excellent
low-end torque for getting away at those stop lights, and plenty of
power for passing most mere excuses for cars. Cast iron exhaust
manifolds funnel the spent gases into the 2.5" dual exhaust and
help provide a nice muscle sound, albeit more subtly than if it had
headers. Everything looks "factory", which is very cool indeed; and
with only about 500 miles since both engine and transmission were
rebuilt, this Chevelle SS has plenty of miles ahead of it! Speaking
of cool, this SS 396 Chevelle has A/C, and its GM/Harrison system
has been converted to use R134a refrigerant, which is a big plus
for driving around when it's hot outside, or when it's super humid
and one needs dehumidified air to keep the windows from fogging.
The gorgeous Regal Red paint looks great, and is just the right
color for such a well-executed vintage Chevelle. Inside, the black
interior is in very good condition, with synthetic leather front
buckets and rear bench having been redone to better than anything
GM ever put out in 1967. The restoration has been done to a level
that nearly everything looks like new, including the "knee knocker"
tach. Additional features and options on this 1966 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS include Air Conditioning, AM radio, Hub Caps, Power
Brakes, Power Steering, Posi-Trac, Redline Radial Tires, Seat
Belts, Spare Tire and Jack, and Vinyl Seating. For more information
