1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Description

You're looking at a real-deal 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396, but this icon of American muscle has been upgraded in all the right places. The super-slick silver paint, upgraded A/C interior, four-wheel disc brakes, and fuel injection all come together to give you the best of everything in one iconic hardtop.

The way this car looks is no joke, and the investment in time and money is obvious everywhere you look. If you're a fan of the early Chevelle bodies, with its beautiful flying buttress C-pillars and subtle aggression, then this car should ring all the right bells. The excellent luster of the silver paint takes advantage of a modern clearcoat application. Underneath, the sheetmetal has been given the right investments so that silver has a terrific canvas to highlight the coupe's intricate details. This was the first year for the Super Sport 396 as its own separate model, and this coupe wears its unique pieces with pride, including the blacked-out grille & tail, ribbed lower trim panels, and hood vents. Those great factory pieces are joined by custom elements like the Kindig It flush door handles, and Boss alloys (with an aggressive 18/20-inch front /rear stagger) to create a truly memorable custom classic.

Inside is more of that cool mixture of classic pieces and custom elements. The best example of this blend is on the seats. These follow the factory pattern, but it you look closer, the aggressive red stitching is a cool little detail for lingering eyes to discover. Plus, the seatbelts are dyed to match. The door panels, carpets, and headliner have that kind of fresh black appearance that makes us aware there was quite a nice investment in the interior. As part of the true SS package, you get a center console with working clock in the front. The custom Billet Specialties steering wheel continues the red and black theme, and the Hurst shifter even joins in, too. You get the cool ultra wide speedometer that came on this generation Chevelle, and that flows into the rest of the controls. But while it looks like you have a factory stereo, it's actually an upgraded Retro Style unit that helps run the full subwoofer speaker system. Since this interior looks great with the all the windows down, there's ice-cold R134a air conditioning to also keep you cool while looking cool.

Grab your sunglasses before popping the hood, because not only is the bright exterior silver continued in the extremely tidy engine bay, but also you can tell there was a small fortune invested in polished components. It has the kind of overall presentation that can win awards all on its own. But when you look beyond the style, you'll see the substance of a period-correct 396 cubic-inch big block V8. This motor has been converted to FAST adjustable fuel injection so it can inhale with precision, and the long tube headers create even more power as they contribute to the thunderous roar of the X-pipe dual exhaust. You are in complete control of this enhanced big block and its rumbling symphony thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. But more than just big power, this custom build has a surefooted suspension that includes thick sway bars front & rear, beefed up rear trailing arms, and a full set of coilover shocks. Plus, the Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and modern performance tires love to hug the road. This total build is great for the driver, right down to the details like the aluminum radiator w/electric fan that can keep the car cool even when you're in traffic with the A/C running.

Complete with a ton of build receipts (more than double what the price of the car is), this is a genuine SS coupe with all the right upgrades to turn heads, win awards, and keep you grinning from ear-to-ear. A turnkey total package like this is a special deal, so you know you need to hurry. Call now!!
