A True Muscle Car Legend: The 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396

The Chevrolet Chevelle, produced from 1964 to 1977, is one of the most iconic muscle cars in American automotive history. Among the most sought-after models are the big block Super Sports, particularly those from 1966 and 1967. At Custom Classics, we are proud to present this exceptional 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, a true SS with the 138 VIN, proving its authenticity.

This Chevelle SS is in excellent condition, featuring the desirable color combination of Marina Blue exterior with the coveted blue bucket seats and center console interior. Under the hood, you'll find the correct big block Chevy 396 cubic inch V8 engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission for ultimate control over the car's impressive power.

Mechanical Prowess:
The heart of this beast is the 396 cubic inch engine, equipped with an aluminum intake, performance-built 4-barrel carburetor, aftermarket HEI type distributor, properly decaled chrome Chevy factory valve covers, and a chrome open-element air cleaner. Tube headers flow into dual exhaust mufflers, while aftermarket performance plug wires ensure optimal spark delivery. The 12-bolt rear end efficiently transfers power to the ground, and power front disc brakes, power steering, and power brakes provide exceptional control and stopping ability. The chassis underneath is as clean as the painted and detailed engine compartment, a testament to the car's meticulous restoration.

Interior Perfection:
Step inside and you'll be greeted by a stunning blue twin bucket seat interior, complete with matching blue carpet, door panels, dash, headliner, and floor mats. The stainless center console houses the 4-speed shifter with a chrome ball, while a factory clock adds a touch of vintage charm. A Chevrolet logo AM/FM radio allows you to enjoy your favorite tunes as you cruise, and factory gauges keep you informed of the engine's vital signs.

Exterior Excellence:
The Marina Blue paint job is simply stunning, accentuated by the twin factory SS scoops on the hood, SS 396 emblems, and the blacked-out SS grille. Polished 5-spoke wheels wrapped in black sidewall performance tires give this Chevelle an aggressive stance, while dual chrome sport mirrors add a touch of elegance. The body lines and chrome bumpers are in great shape, a result of the car's impressive restoration.
