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. Fully repainted in this enchanting Sky Blue with a complementary white convertible top, this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible emanates equal parts style and speed. A straight body, American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels, and freedom-inspiring drop-top demeanor all combine forces to create a boulevard bruiser or cruiser that is unlike anything else on the road.
Inside, the supple white vinyl is inversely complemented by a body-color-matching trim and turquoise carpeting. A split bench seat provides plenty of room up front, while a three-spoke steering wheel featuring an SS center cap sits in front of a column-mounted Sunrpo 8,000 rpm tachometer, and beyond that, a classic horizontal 120-mph speedometer, while the throwback sliding HVAC controls (complete with air conditioning) remind us how simple driving used to be. An upgrade AM/FM/AUX head unit handles soundtrack duties, while the floor-mounted stick promises to offer up an engaging ride, whether it's across town or cross-country.
Under the hood, we find a transplanted 396 cubic-inch V-8 engine looking right at home with its chrome air cleaner and old-school primer-orange-painted block and intake manifold. A single four-barrel carburetor feeds this beast, while a set of long tube headers feeds into a true dual exhaust to give this old school muscle car the sound it should have. Power flows from that big block to a tried-and-true Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission, before the 12-bolt rear transfers those ponies to the pavement via fifteen-inch American Racing wheels, shod in 255/60R-15 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires.
