Vehicle Description
In the heart of automotive history, where craftsmanship met
ingenuity, there exists a legend that has captured the essence of
American muscle like no other. It's not just a car; it's a symphony
of power, precision, and timeless design. Step into the world of
the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 L35 325HP Convertible, a
masterpiece born from the golden era of automotive excellence.
With its numbers-matching 396 V8 L35 engine boasting a 4-barrel
carburetor, this beauty roars to life with 325 horsepower, ready to
conquer any road it encounters. The 138676 VIN proudly declares its
heritage as a factory '66 Super Sport Convertible, a rare gem
coveted by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Enveloped in the factory Marina Blue exterior, complemented by a
white soft manual convertible top and a blue top boot, this
Chevelle is a sight to behold. Step inside and experience luxury
with the correct factory color blue vinyl interior. The addition of
bucket seats, a center console, and an elegant clock make for a
comfortable riding experience.
Driving this classic is an experience like no other, thanks to its
2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, meticulously preserved
to maintain its originality as we do believe it to be date code
original to the car. The Holley 585 CFM carburetor, believed to be
date code original to the car, ensures peak performance, while the
12-bolt 3.07 Positraction rear axle, also believed to be date code
original to the car, keeps you firmly planted on the asphalt.
Safety and control are paramount, with power brakes with 4-wheel
drums and hydraulic power steering, ensuring a smooth and confident
ride every time. The Harrison radiator keeps the engine cool under
pressure, while the "Knee Knocker" tachometer with a 5,200 RPM
redline adds a touch of vintage charm to the cockpit.
Entertainment meets nostalgia with the AM/FM radio, perfect for
cruising to your favorite tunes as you soak in the open road.
Rolling on 14" steel wheels adorned with mag hubcaps and brand-new
redline bias-ply tires, this Chevelle commands attention wherever
it goes.
Photographed restoration completed between 2004-2006, with
meticulous attention to detail, ensuring authenticity and
preserving its timeless beauty. With only approximately 142 miles
since restoration, this Chevelle stands as a testament to the
dedication of its custodians.
The brightwork gleams, reflecting the passion and care bestowed
