For sale in our Chicago showroom is a scarce 1966 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS 396 Factory 4-Speed. When it comes to true American
Muscle Cars the name Chevelle has always stood out, and for good
reason. Arguably this is one of the most attractive styles with
those slick lines, absence of gaudy chrome and trim, and a tidy
front and rear fascia. This example is finished in the correct
E-Code shade of Royal Mist Metallic top and bottom with black
interior and trim that is phenomenal on the eyes. Performance is
key with any muscle car, but heritage is also important when it
comes to the investment side of cars, and this one has a lot going
for it. The original 396 was replaced with a rebuilt 454 Cubic Inch
V8. Before undergoing a full show-quality restoration, this vehicle
was purchased in 2002 and was believed to have only 45,500 actual
miles. A complete restoration began with removing the frame and
chassis components to be sandblasted and then powder coated. The
exterior shell was then stripped to bare metal and any
imperfections or signs of rust or filler were replaced with metal
and finished off with high quality paint, and even the
chrome/brightwork was redone. On the interior you will see a
correct reconditioning of the dash, bucket seats, and carpeting to
bring this to a show level. The original radio was replaced with an
electronic, but classic-looking AM/FM Stereo with input jack and
dual amps in the trunk for all your favorite tunes. The cue-ball
shifter is ready for you to take hold and get this classic
big-block up to speed while impressing your friends and neighbors.
If you have been on the search for a high-level and correct
restoration of such a desirable and iconic muscle car, don't let
this beauty pass you by. For more information on this beautiful
