Vehicle Description
Serious big block power, four-on-the-floor, a bucket seat interior,
and short gears in the rear are all what make this 1966 Chevrolet
Chevelle 300 Deluxe the kind of cool post coupe that's made to be a
quarter-mile king. And as you dig deeper into the details, you'll
find some nice investments all geared towards a powerful car like
this.
We love the look of the '66 Chevelle. It has the right hint of
curves to have one of the best classic silhouettes going. Plus, the
maroon metallic paint has a good shine, and even the bumpers and
Rally wheels add to this allure. It's just the right hint of
showmanship without being too fancy. After all, this is meant to be
an entertaining muscle car, and it gives off the right vibes of a
blacktop burner. This includes details like the cowl hood, Super
Sport appearance, and larger rear tires for a nice stance. And
everyone knows the post coupes have stronger bodies that are ideal
for this kind of fun.
The all-black interior is always a perfect fit for a muscle car,
and the full setup is clean and sporty. The uniform quality
appearance on the seats, door panels, dash, carpeting, and
headliner all show a solid investment in the fundamentals. It's the
kind of clean setup that's easy to share with family and friends,
but really, all this Chevelle needs is you. The bucket seats,
leather-wrapped sports steering wheel, and a Hurst shifter are more
reminders this is a powerful driver's machine. So while you have a
great sound system, including a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner,
your real favorite soundtrack is likely going to be the thunder
from the motor.
The engine bay is tidy, and there's some flair from upgrades like
the etched valve covers. But what you'll really appreciate are all
the investments that went in to enhance this big block heart. It's
a 396 cubic inch V8, and the consignor claims that it's upgraded
with a Comp Cams roller camshaft, roller rockers, a steel crank,
and forged pistons. Plus, there's a Holley 850 double pumper
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock performer 2.0 intake, and HEI
electronic ignition. And there's a wicked set of long tube headers
that add power and rumble to the dual exhaust. You have complete
control over the power and fury thanks to the Muncie four-speed
manual transmission. This feeds a 12-bolt rear where the consignor
claims it's running a 4.11 with Positraction...and it sure has the
quick takeoffs to prove the short gears. Keeping this full package
firmly under control are upgrades like the tubular front A-arm
suspension, new bushings, new shocks, and new springs. Plus, you
have front disc brakes and new Cooper Cobra tires.
This is the mean big block machine that has an intimidating
style... and the power to back it up. So if you love a true muscle
car classic, call today!
