Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 is a real-deal Super Sport that
has been given the right restoration investments to be an even
better muscle car. That means sharp style inside and out,
four-on-the-floor, and an even bigger big block that runs like a
dream.
Marina Blue is a 1966-correct color, but this application was an
upgrade later in life to give you a modern shine. It helps to show
off the good panels that have a crisp and clean look that gives
this an impressive profile. And we love the '66 coupe because it
has the right elegant touches like the flying buttress c-pillars
and the ribbed rockers that flow from the fenders all the way to
the rear bumper. Bright chrome, complete trim, clean glass, and
good weather-stripping are all part of a package that has plenty of
curb appeal. But of course, the reason why you want this is because
it's a true Super Sport, and it looks the part. The blackout
grille, blackout rear panel, vent trim hood, and full SS badging
get this one instant respect. And the competition-style Torq Thrust
wheels have the right vintage style while also helping to announce
this is an upgraded coupe.
Black interiors look great on muscle cars. There has been a solid
investment here to have a dark and fresh style on the upholstery,
door panels, headliner, dash pad, and the other fundamentals.
Bucket seats, a center console, floor shifter, a wood-rimmed
steering wheel, and power steering are all part of a package that
makes this a great driver. And this one has an eye for details,
right down to the working dome light and the tach correctly mounted
next to the steering column. But there are also the right
well-placed upgrades, like the auxiliary readouts under the dash
and the retro-style AM/FM stereo with aux input for your iPod.
The engine bay looks great with the clean inner walls that funnel
your attention to the tidy and polished motor. The callout on the
air grabber says 396 because that's the largest you could get in
1966, but this has a performance secret. It has been upgraded to a
later and larger 454 cubic-inch big block with a Holley four-barrel
carburetor on top. A clean presentation like this usually signals a
top-quality car, and that holds true here. It's one of the best
running big blocks we've seen in quite some time. And the
four-speed manual transmission means you are in the center of the
action. As you look underneath, you're going to spot the right
upgrades for a great driver. There are power brakes with drilled
front discs. And in the rear are stronger boxed arms and a thick
sway bar.
This is the sharp-looking Chevelle hardtop that lets you know it's
the right one to drive and enjoy. So if you're ready to be the big
block hero, you need this Super Sport. Call today!!!
