Vehicle Description
1966 Chevrolet Impala SS Hardtop. It was a dramatic change in 1965
for the entire Chevrolet lineup. The previous boxier body style was
abandoned for the sleeker fastback look to move forward into the
next, more hip, generation of the American automobile. The long
lines gave it a lower leaner look while still keeping enough room
inside for the passengers. These styling cues carried into 1966
with subtle refinements. The SS trim was still the performance
version with the higher horse power V8s, stiffer suspension, bigger
brakes, and upsacle interiors. This individual is an true 168 code
SS with the very rare and desirable 427 VB with 425 horse power and
documents to back it up. The engine is a CE block, because we all
know what happened to those first motors, with a factory high rise
aluminum intake fitted with a Holley 901 4V carb. Finished in
correct Tuxedo Black with a correct stunning White bucket seat
interior with console with working gauges and it looks fabulous.
Enhancing the visual horse power are the 15 inch Rally wheels with
center caps and trim rings fitted with 215/70 and 275/60 BFG black
wall radials. The paint is very nice and the chrome and stainless
are nearly new. There is an aftermarket 4 speed and 3.23 12 bolt
posi rear end it goes down the road with little effort and will
give the next lucky owner years of cruising pleasure. Obvioulsy
there is a nicely detailed engine bay and a completed trunk
including spare, mat, and jack and full Dual exhaust that sound
awesome. This rare Big Block Impala comes with the "Car Shipper"
documents included. Showing it went to Chadwick Chevrolet in
Laurens Iowa equipped with the 425 horse power 427, 4 speed and
3.31 posi. When it comes to rare big body Chevys this has to be one
of only a handful ever built with this drive train configuration
and in a stunning color combination. This is a once in a lifetime
opportunity, don't let it slip away.
