In 1966 Chevrolet hit the street like a hammer with the Chevelle SS
396, and this real-deal SS 396 Convertible is the kind of muscle
that made Main Street tremble. Draped in blue with a white bucket
seat interior, it captures the exact moment when big block power
took over the conversation and never gave it back. The stacked
headlights, bright SS grille badge, and crisp body lines remind you
why the mid year Chevelle is one of the most celebrated A bodies
ever built.
Under the hood lives the legendary 396 big block V8, the Rat motor
that rewrote the rules for midsize performance. Backed by a 700R4
automatic w/ overdrive, this drop top delivers hard launches and
effortless cruising in equal measure. Ceramic coated headers,
electronic ignition, an aluminum radiator, and fabricated valve
covers bring modern reliability and a clean performance look to a
classic powerhouse formula.
This SS does more than look the part. Four wheel disc brakes
provide confident stopping power, while B G Rod Works wheels plant
it firmly in the present with a muscular stance. The console
shifter and center console with clock anchor the white vinyl bucket
seat interior, giving the cockpit that unmistakable Super Sport
feel.
The 1966 model year marked the first time the 396 was unleashed in
the Chevelle, and true SS 396 convertibles represent a small slice
of overall production. That rarity, combined with the open air
experience of a power convertible top, makes this car more than a
cruiser. It is a rolling piece of Chevrolet performance history
that still knows how to light up the pavement and steal the
spotlight.
