Vehicle Description
A real-deal 1966 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport convertible is a
wonderful thing. But then when you check out the authentic style -
right down to the V8 - and see the cool paperwork. You soon realize
this is the kind of drop-top you love for its presence and
pedigree.
The '66 Impalas were part of a new era that made them longer,
lower, and sleeker. It was an irresistible style, and in fact, we
know that for sure about this one. We have the original sales
invoice where this 1966 car was sold when it first came out in the
fall of '65. It also shows that this was sold new in Detroit, and
there's always something extra-cool about an American classic
coming out of Motown. This one also gets the details right with the
Super Sport badging, wraparound chrome bumpers, and full-length
trim that even wraps around the rear. The factory-correct Regal Red
has a solid shine from a respray later in life. It goes with the
easy cruiser attitude, or you may choose to update/upgrade. What
really makes this cool are the subtle upgrades you want on an SS.
The dual exhaust tips have a nice polish. And while the 17-inch
wheels are larger than what the factory offered they have a classic
torque thrust design and redline tires.
The white top has a timelessly attractive look against the red
exterior, and with the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal
an equally attractive white interior. You'll appreciate the little
details, like how the big clock next to the speedometer is still
ticking away, and the Delco AM radio is still there as a display.
And the seats and door panels even still have their correct trim.
It all makes for a highly original and highly authentic total
package. The full-size nature of the Impala makes it quite
attractive to comfortably take along family and friends. But as a
Super Sport, you also have the right pieces to enjoy this going
solo. Front bucket seats, a center console in-between, and a floor
shifter give the driver an individual level of comfort.
Under the hood is an honest and authentic style 283 cubic-inch V8.
It's an era-correct block of the correct style motor, and the
consignor even claims originality. A car like this was built for
cruising, and so you have good features like the Powerglide
automatic transmission, power steering, and a supple ride. Plus,
while the engine is stock, you may have noticed a newer power brake
booster in the engine bay. It goes with the front discs and modern
sport tires to give you enhanced confidence on the road.
The sale comes with the original sales invoice, Protecto-o-Plate
warranty card, and owner's manual packet. This is the Impala that
knows how to both drive and arrive. So if you want a drop-top
cruiser that has a story to tell, call today!
