The 1966 Chevelle SS396 was a head-turner. The redesigned Fisher
body provided a total new look for the mid-size Chevy that was
destined to become a performance icon. At this point, the SS396 had
become a unique model in the Chevelle line-up (rather than Option
Package Z-16 from the previous year). There were numerous styling
enhancements, but the SS396 was truly about performance. This '138'
code Chevelle SS396 was the recipient of an impressive frame-off
restoration (2013) and is a stunner. The Chevelle's beautiful new
coat of Bolero Red was professionally applied and the interior was
completely restored in original red vinyl. All of the correct
details are there - right down to the Muncie 'hypodermic' shifter'.
A full package of SunPro gauge is paired with a nice column mounted
tachometer. Windows are tinted and an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette
stereo system has been added. The original 396ci 'Rat' has been
replaced by a stout 427ci big-block, totally rebuilt and fitted
with an aluminum intake, dual-line Holley and nice street cam.
Backed by 4-speed manual transmission, this 427 sounds very strong
through the free-flowing exhaust. (Fun Fact: A few years later, Don
Yenko Chevrolet in Pittsburgh built COPO Chevelles with this same
basic drivetrain package.) GM Rally wheels w/trim rings-centers
mount stout 15" BFG Radial T/A tires. Our Chevelle is equipped with
manual steering, power disc/drum brakes, front sway bar and HD
shocks. Look at the photos, but understand that this car must be
seen to be fully appreciated. Our Chevelle SS427 is ready for a new
owner who will truly value this classic bowtie. ALL VEHICLES SOLD
