When it comes to the Golden Age of muscle cars, almost no name can
instantly open up a floodgate of memories and a rush of adrenaline
quite like the mighty Chevelle. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396
Tribute comes fully repainted in its captivating Marina Blue that
emanates equal parts style and speed. A straight body, aggressive
stance, and correct Super Sport badging combine to create a
boulevard bruiser or cruiser unlike anything else on the road.
Inside, the supple black vinyl interior is dark and inviting. A
center console separates a pair of soft bucket seats, while a
three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel featuring a Chevrolet logo
center cap sits in front of a massive 10,000-rpm AutoMeter Cobalt
tachometer. Beyond that sits a classic horizontal 120-mph
speedometer, while a set of VDO and SW auxiliary gauges and a big
7,000-rpm tachometer sit offset under the dashboard. The throwback
sliding HVAC controls (complete with air conditioning) remind us
how simple driving used to be. An upgraded Bluetooth-enabled
RetroSounds AM/FM/AUX head unit handles soundtrack duty, while the
floor-mounted T-bar shifter promises to offer up an engaging ride,
whether it's across town or cross-country.
Although originally a factory 396 car, this Chevelle's engine bay
features a transplanted (and larger) 468-cubic-inch V-8 engine that
looks right at home. Pro Comp Aluminum heads, a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold feeds this
beast, while a set of Hooker long-tube headers feeds into a true
dual FlowMaster exhaust, giving this old-school muscle car the
sound it should have. Power flows from that big block to a TH400
three-speed manual transmission, before the 12-bolt rear transfers
those ponies to the pavement via fifteen-inch wheels.
