For Sale: 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle in Lutz, Florida

This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Tribute gives you the right Super Sport details, a true driver-oriented interior, and plenty of big block muscle under the hood. And with fresh paint on it this year, you know it's one sharp-looking hardtop.


The fundamentals of this coupe give an impression of a well-respected classic. The chrome shines brightly, both doors shut solid, the weather-stripping is pliable, and the glass is clean/clear. Plus, the medium blue metallic is a fresh application done in 2022. It has the right look to hold close to Chevelle colors like Marina Blue, but with the right tone and luster for added distinction. And the modern shine shows off the creases of the sheet metal that make this hardtop an icon. But there's a meaner side to this pretty car, too. It has a true Super Sport style with blackout grille, SS badging, ribbed rockers, and vent trim hood. And those competition-style 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels have the right stance for a proper muscle car.


When you open the doors, you're greeted with a well-done black interior. You can tell there was an investment in quality by the deep dark color of the door panels, headliner, upholstery, and more. Even the dome light works. There may be a few details that you may want to repair like the radio if you're looking for total perfection, but the real attraction is a great-looking package that focuses on the driver. That's why you have front bucket seats, a classic grippy steering wheel, back-lit auxiliary gauges, and a B&M floor shifter.


The engine bay has a nice look with smooth black inner walls and some added polish on the air grabber and valve covers. But what really attracts attention is the look of all that big block power. It's a 396/402 cubic-inch V8 that has been enhanced for added power with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, and long tube headers feeding into the H-pipe dual exhaust. It's a strong powerhouse backed by the right components. The TH400 three-speed transmission is a stout unit that also provides smooth automatic shifting. This feeds a strong 12-bolt rear end. And as you look at the rear, you'll also see upgraded suspension arms and a sway bar. Plus, the power brakes are upgraded with vented front discs.


This is a desirable and powerful Chevelle hardtop that's done right with plenty of SS style and a fresh blue that's as deep as the ocean. Call today!!!
