Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Chevelle is a nameplate that needs no introduction, a
name that is always associated with the golden era of American
muscle. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle is no different, packing a
massive big-block engine under the hood and pairing it with some
killer '60s style. Powered by a fire-breathing 396 C.I. Chevrolet
big-block V8 connected to a 4-barrel carburetor, this '66 Chevelle
is seriously quick. Torque is put to the pavement through the use
of a 4-speed manual transmission, equipped with a Hurst "T-Grip"
shifter that's sure to put a smile on your face behind the wheel.
The "Bright Red" exterior paint looks fantastic laid out over this
Chevelle's straight bodylines, and it gleams in the sun in
conjunction with this car's excellent chrome brightwork. The
floors, frame, trunk and jambs are all rock-solid, and all are in
great shape! Opening this Chevelle's twin doors reveals a beautiful
black vinyl interior with SS trim, complete with comfy bucket seats
that are perfect for cruising and a full center console. Options on
this sweet '66 Chevy include power steering, power brakes, front
disc brakes, an aftermarket steering wheel, a full center console
with a factory-installed clock, a "Knee-Knocker" tachometer,
AutoGauge under-dash aux. gauges, a vintage-style AM/FM/Cassette
stereo system, aftermarket Alpine rear speakers, a heater +
defroster, a chrome driver's mirror, and a mean-sounding Dynomax
dual exhaust system. The car rides on a sleek set of 15" Chevrolet
rally wheels over Cooper Cobra RWL tires for a classic, muscular
appearance! This '66 Chevelle starts right up, and it runs and
drives down the highway like a dream. That Hurst 4-speed
transmission means that it's a lot of fun, and that 396 C.I.
big-block means you won't be hurting for power, either. We think
it'd look great in your driveway, so don't let it pass you by!
