This 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible is a beautifully
restored, real deal SS with great options and a fantastic look!
When the Impala debuted in 1958 as the Bel Air's top trim level, or
even when it was spun off as its own model in 1959, few at the GM
marque could have guessed what a success the Impala nameplate would
become in the years that followed. As the years progressed and the
Impala's silhouette shifted on a virtually yearly basis (especially
early on), the Impala underwent a complete redesign in 1965 with
many of its design features carried forward in the following years.
The new-look Chevys were bigger than previous models but the Impala
still retained its top-of-the-line status for Chevrolet. In 1966,
the overall look remained the same with modest design improvements.
At the nose, the front fenders were raked forward and the dual
headlight assembly was now trimmed with bright anodized bezels
placed alongside the matching anodized grille. At the tail end,
round triple taillights that were found on Impalas since nearly
every year since the car's inception were replaced with a more
modern-looking rectangular assembly. Of course, the plushest and
sportiest Impala was the Impala Super Sport (SS). The Impala SS's
were visually distinctive from the exterior due to the additional
trim found around the outside of the car, including front fender
nameplates, a special SS grille, and special SS badging on the
trunk. The interiors were also specially badged with Super Sport
nomenclature and options including items such as bucket seats,
center consoles, and special SS badging on the dash. This
particular '66 Impala Super Sport Convertible comes to us after
undergoing an extensive restoration and it even comes with the
original Protect-O-Plate. Powering this '66 Impala SS is believed
to be a 327 cubic inch V8 that breathes through a single 4 barrel
carburetor. The small block Chevy is backed by a Powerglide
Automatic transmission that makes this classic Chevrolet an easy
car for anybody to enjoy. Exhaust exits this Super Sport's SBC
powerplant via a dual exhaust setup that generates a terrific
throaty sound out of the rear tailpipes. This 1966 Impala SS comes
with great options! With power steering, maneuvering this
gentleman's muscle car in and out of tight parking spots at the
local car show or drive-in is almost effortless and the overall
driving experience is much more enjoyable. Further aiding with
parking efforts and lane changes are dual chrome outside mirrors
that greatly improve visibility down the sides of this Super Sport
Impala Convertible. Power brakes are another welcome addition since
they make bringing this nearly 5,000 pound Chevrolet much easier to
bring to a complete stop. The black vinyl power convertible top is
equipped with a glass back window and it is raised and lowered with
ease, all with the simple flick of a switch. Additionally, when the
top is lowered, it tucks neatly below a brand new black convertible
top boot cover. Riding on a set of Redline Radial tires mounted on
classic Rally wheels with Chevy center caps, this 1966 Impala SS
Convertible has a great look and even better ride. The exterior of
this '66 Impala SS has been refinished in beautiful Regal Red paint
that completes the eye-catching look of this wonderful '60s
classic. The interior of this 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible
is gorgeous! The front bucket seats and rear bench seat have been
correctly restored with black upholstery. The black carpeting and
brand new matching floor mats, door panels, seat belts, center
console, padded dash, and steering wheel all appear to be in great
shape while retaining a nice stock look. Instrumentation includes a
120 MPH Speedometer, fuel gauge, and clock, as well as indicator
lights for engine temperature, oil pressure, and generator
function. The dash is finished off with various other vehicle
controls, a locking glovebox, and a push-button AM radio. Whether
you're looking to buy your very first classic car or you're adding
to your existing collection of Impalas or Chevy muscle cars, this
1966 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible would make an excellent
choice. Give Ellingson's a call today at 763-428-7337!
