Many argue that at the height of its power, Chevy's Chevelle was
the king of the muscle cars, and that is a difficult point to
argue. In fact, the only way to make one of GM's baddest cars even
meaner is to use modern technology to improve its performance. That
thinking is why this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Tribute is the
perfect choice for anyone seeking a meticulously frame-off
restored, monstrously powerful, head-turning ride. Fully repainted
in this eye-catching Porsche Guards Red with its complementing
black hardtop, this boulevard bruiser sports a super-straight body,
detailed undercarriage, and an exhaust rumble that screams 'get out
of my way!'
Inside, we find a factory-style interior that is in like-new
condition. A center console separates a pair of bucket seats, while
a power-assisted three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel sits before
a horizontal 120-mph speedometer. A three-pack of Pro-Comp
white-faced auxiliary gauges sits offset under the dash, while an
upgraded Jensen AM/FM cassette player handles tunes via a 1200-watt
stereo system, and the B&M T-Bar shifter adds a touch of
practical flair, while the analog clock situated just before the
shifter makes it hard not to beat your last 0-60 mph run.
Under the hood of this Chevelle sits a massive 496 cubic-inch
overhead-valve V-8 engine. Featuring a serpentine belt system,
aluminum radiator, dual electric fans, polished dual-plane aluminum
intake, Holley carburetor, lightweight aluminum cylinder heads,
Hedman ceramic-coated long tube headers, this small block expels
gases through a dual exhaust capped off with a set of
sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers. That power is routed through a
TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent to a
3.31-geared 12-bolt rear end.
