Chevrolet Chevelle 1966 Description

This "138" 1966 Chevelle SS is the kind of car that generates a lot of interest in our showroom and out at car shows. Why? Maybe it's the numbers-matching big block under the hood, r the lovely color combination, r perhaps the fact few other cars command the respect of a big block Chevelle.Repainted a few years ago, he Lemonwood Yellow paint still looks great. With minimal use it shows minimal wear, f course, ut that also means someone really looked after it. And honestly, sn't it easy to see yourself washing and waxing this baby on a Saturday afternoon in preparation for a cruise-in that night? For many, he appeal of the '66 models is the careful blending of the old-school quarters and rear end with a more forward-looking nose to create an icon. Plenty of chrome sets off the deep burgundy finish, ll of it nicely restored and glittering like jewelry. There are correct '396' and 'Super Sport' badges on the flanks, s well as a blacked-out SS grille that would be a trademark for all the fastest Chevys for years to come. With great panel alignment, oors that fit well, nd those cool chrome hood inserts, his is a car that gets attention whenever you park it. It's not a sleeper, ut it doesn't need to advertise, ither, nd that's why everyone seems to love it.Comfortable black buckets show almost no signs of use, nd the restoration was carried out to a high standard so they're holding up extremely well. Matching door panels, back seat that looks completely unused, nd black carpets with the correct weave and pile are all components that help this car retain that classic mid-60s look. The center console carries an optional clock and a shifter that looks like something from the future, nd there's a set of auxiliary gauges under the dash in addition to the factory instruments. A handsome and very ornate factory steering wheel adds a little class in the all-black passenger compartment, nd the sounds of the AM/FM radio are modern but the look is authentic. In the trunk, ou'll find a correct mat, ull-sized spare, nd jack assembly.The big deal with this car is the original, umbers-matching L34 396 cubic inch V8. With 360 horsepower, t moves the Chevelle effortlessly and delivers a heavyweight punch that's impressive even today. Fully detailed and still looking factory fresh, t demonstrates the right way to preserve your car. The engine enamel is still shiny and hasn't burned off from being driven, he hoses wear correct GM stampings and tower hose clamps, nd all the accessories have proper finishes, ncluding the chrome valve covers that were part of the L34 package. The 4-speed manual transmission shifts properly and feeds a heavy-duty 12-bolt rear that hangs on a rebuilt suspension. The chassis is as neat as the engine bay, lthough the soundtrack is compliments of Flowmaster, nd correct Rally wheels wear 225/70/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials that look and handle great.Documented with its original Protect-O-Plate and owner's manuals, his high-grade Chevelle is also a fantastic cruiser that you shouldn't be afraid to enjoy.
