Vehicle Description
This is a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS tribute that is meant to be
noticed. Not only do you have vibrant orange paint on this hardtop,
but also a performance-built big block under the hood. And if the
custom stereo doesn't have them hear you coming, the thunderous
exhaust cutouts certainly will.
The 1966 Chevelle was updated to get us into the muscle car era. A
firmly ceased eyebrow up front, rear fenders bulging upward, flying
buttresses on the c-pillar, and taillights hooded by the extended
fenders all made a substantial statement. And this one shows it off
distinctly. The attention-grabbing orange paint you see on this car
is an upgrade later in life. It loves the sunshine with its modern
gloss and slick clearcoat appearance. But the paint was far from
the only major investment in this classic. The doors shut solid;
the hood and trunk line up nicely when closed; the
weather-stripping feels fresh; and the bumpers have a bright
polish. So you can tell this one wants admiration for more than
just the paint. It also has the right Super Sport upgrades with the
dual power bulges in the hood, blacked-out grille, blacked-out rear
panel, SS badging, and ribbed rockers. And those chrome Ridler
wheels staggered 18/20-inch front/rear for an aggressive stance
hint at this hardtop's upgraded power.
The black interior looks great against the vibrant orange, and it
really gets you in the mood for speedy business. So it's especially
nice that there was an overall investment here in quality. This is
a great driving setup with classic features like front bucket seats
and a big/grippy Chevy steering wheel that's on a tilt steering
column. The tach is mounted in the correct place on the column, and
now it even has a shift light. There are also fresh upgrades like a
center console housing a Horseshoe shifter, cup holders, and
auxiliary readouts. Plus, the stereo is a Kenwood touchscreen
AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth, and it connects to a full subwoofer
speaker system.
The engine bay has the tidy look of big power. It's instantly
attractive with smooth inner fenders, and a bright finish on the
valve covers, alternator, and more. And while the callout on the
air topper says this is a 427, you're actually looking at a larger
454 cubic-inch V8. More than just added displacement, this big
block has a Holley four-barrel carburetor, MSD ignition, and
headers for a terrific power package. It fires up with a wicked
growl, but any time you really want to bring the thunder, a toggle
switch under the dash opens up the electric cutouts for a brutal
sound. The motor is paired with a TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission that's stout enough to handle the big power as it
feeds the 12-bolt rear end. Plus, power steering, power brakes
w/discs up front, rear air shocks, and a rear sway bar make this
powerful machine more comfortable to enjoy, too.
Complete with the build receipts, this is the iconic hardtop built
for added power and bolder style. That makes for a truly
irresistible muscle car. Call today!!!
