Vehicle Description
When the words "big block" and "Chevelle" meet, a good time is
pretty much guaranteed. Wrap a thorough, frame-up restoration
around correct red and black aesthetics and you end up with a
tire-melting, conversation-starting A-body that everyone will stop
to look at. This real-deal Super Sport is a complete, road ready
cruiser that features an original 396, a stout Richmond 4+1 5-speed
and a restoration that's fully sorted and ready to rock and roll.
If you're a buyer who seeks absolute authenticity, we can certainly
accommodate you. But, if you're one of the growing number of
enthusiasts who wants to actually enjoy the performance, look, and
value of Chevrolet's ultimate muscle car, this '66 Chevelle is your
opportunity to turn someone else's toil into your new pastime!
AUTHENTIC SUPER SPORT LOOKS
The beneficiary of a comprehensive, frame-up restoration, this
Chevy's solid body is an excellent combination of original and
replacement panels. When it comes to classic cars, a lot of people
simply don't understand the difference between a frame-up
restoration and a frame-off restoration. If a car has been frame-up
restored, that means it's probably been envisioned as a nice
cruiser that's been rebuilt as needed. In contrast, a frame-off
restoration, which was likely completed all at once, would indicate
an owner's desire to attend shows. It's not a matter of one being
better than the other, it really just depends on what you're
looking for when it comes to purchasing the car of your dreams. And
even though this clean Chevelle can easily be parked on a show
field, the car's quality, frame-up restoration ensures it's sorted
enough to truly have fun in! Most of the Super Sport-specific trim,
a blacked-out grille and rear valance, a silver bumper filler, a
tweaked hood, ornate rocker trim and varied Super Sport
ornamentation, was reinstalled during the body's freshening. And
Jeff's Paint and Body Shop of Pilot Mountain, North Carolina
applied a correct coat of Regal Red two-stage that's been buffed to
a glossy shine.
AUTHENTIC SUPER SPORT POWER
Hoist this coupe's long hood and you'll find an original, 396 cubic
inch L35 V8 that wears a correct 3855961 casting number behind a
correct "EDH" suffix stamp and a matching 113617 partial VIN.
Featuring a stout 325 horsepower in factory guise, this buff big
block was recently rebuilt with a few choice modifications. A big
Holley carburetor and an aluminum Weiand intake join modern roller
rockers, an aftermarket HEI distributor, a deep-sump oil pan and
sleeved Taylor plug wires to put the "SS" in Stoplight Slayer. And
items like satin fenders, custom valve covers, a 14-inch air
cleaner, polished fuel lines and traditional Chevy Orange skin
ensure the mill is very impressive to look at.
AUTHENTIC MUSCLE CAR FEEL
That storied mill spins power to a tough Richmond 4+1 5-speed. That
tough transmission is hooked to a traditional 12-bolt axle that's
finished with a posi-traction differential and 3.09 gears. Under
that drivetrain, a double A-arm front and rear leaf suspension
employs dual sway bars. Factory power steering is a welcome
addition to any muscle car. Stops are provided by a familiar setup
of front discs and rear drums. Long-tube headers flow into
aluminized pipes, which hang an H-shaped crossover in front of
great sounding, dual-chamber mufflers. And at the corners of the
car, 18-inch Rocket Booster Hyper Shots spin 225/45 Nitto NT555
Extreme ZRs in front of 275/40 Nitto NT555 Extreme ZRs.
AUTHENTIC MUSCLE CAR STYLE
During this Chevelle's careful restoration, a new interior was
installed over high quality Dynamat insulation. Correct Super Sport
trim abounds, with factory bucket seats framing a simple Hurst
shifter. Durable floor mats and correct Deluxe Seatbelts are
present and accounted for. A digital AM/FM head unit makes
excellent use of large Pioneer deck speakers. In front of the
driver, a 4-spoke, cross-flag-branded steering wheel laps optional
RPO U14 Special Instrumentation and an AutoMeter 'knee knocker'
tach. And behind the passengers, a fully restored trunk features a
correct jack and full-size spare tire.
If a run-of-the-mill Camaro or Nova simply won't do, this
high-quality Chevelle is your perfect solution! Restoring any
classic to the condition of this Chevy will probably cost about
twice our asking price and, even if you started today, it would
probably be a year before that project began resembling a finished
car. So, why not give in to temptation and let this real-deal Super
Sport show you exactly what instant gratification is all about!
