The Chevrolet Chevelle is as synonymous with American performance
as baseball and apple pie are to America itself. That's especially
true for this red-blooded 1966 model Malibu SS Tribute, with its
gorgeous red paintjob and the monster of a V8 it hides beneath its
hood. Dressed in a beautiful bright red color scheme, this Chevelle
doesn't just look badass, it's got the power to back it up because
when the terms "big-block" and "Chevelle" are combined, good times
are almost guaranteed to be had. Sitting inside this Chevelle's
engine bay is a massive 402 C.I. V8, breathing through a 4-barrel
carburetor providing all the power this Chevelle needs to torch its
rear tires. Torque is stomped into the pavement through a
quick-shifting 4-speed manual transmission, which allows for great
throttle response and plenty of smiles behind the wheel. Freshly
restyled for '66, the Chevelle got smooth contours, a broad new
grille, bumper treatment, and curved side windows. This Chevelle's
laser-straight bodylines are covered in a gorgeous shade of bright
red paint, which has a wonderful finish as it gleams in the sun.
The shiny chrome brightwork is in fantastic shape too, which is
good because there's a lot of it! Taking a look underneath the car
it's clear that the undercarriage is in great condition, as
evidenced by strong floors, frame rails, trunk, and door jambs.
Opening the doors and stepping inside reveals a stunning black
vinyl interior, complete with comfy bucket seats that are perfect
for cruising and a full center console for extra convenience. The
car is equipped with a sharp set of 15" Chevrolet rally wheels
shoed with B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for a factory-fresh,
period-correct look that's sure to turn heads! This car runs and
drives down the road like a dream, and it's got a ton of horsepower
to boot. Combining killer big-block performance and beautiful
style, this '66 Chevelle Malibu is the real deal. We think it'd
look great in your driveway, so don't let it pass you by!
