The bottom line on this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle is that it represents a pretty big bang for the buck. Fitted with all the go-fast options you want (396/4-speed)and#44; plus a cool color combinationand#44; its definitely a blast to drive. It also has a clean look and nice workmanship that makes it stand out simply because it doesnt seem to be trying too hard. This bright red Chevelle was obviously restored from a very solid original car and the workmanship shows off some very straight metal. It isnt perfectand#44; of courseand#44; but its got a factory look that suggests a lot of performance without having to resort to stripes and wings. It shines up beautifully and will certainly turn heads wherever it goes. We love the standard hood with the chrome insertsand#44; always a better choice than a generic cowl induction pieceand#44; and since its wearing SS badgesand#44; everyones going to know theres serious blasting powder under the hood anyway. Nice chrome accents the black grilleand#44; and the bumpers have obviously been refinished. The black vinyl top is a nice touchand#44; adding a sense of formality to the sporty Chevelleand#44; and there are no signs of trouble underneathand#44; always a relief when dealing with an old car and a vinyl top. This car was specd just the way youd do it yourself: sumptuous bucket seatsand#44; a consoleand#44; 4-speed transmissionand#44; and little else to slow it down. Like the bodyworkand#44; everything was finished to a standard that looks factory-issue. The seams on the seat covers are like they were printed with a T-squareand#44; the gauges show brightand#44; crisp markingsand#44; and there are accessory gauges under the dashand#44; including a monster tach and shift lightand#44; although its a little out of your line of sight down there on the passengers side. A later AM/FM radio lives in the center of the dashand#44; but lets face itand#44; youre not buying this car because of the sound system. The console houses a clock thats one of the coolest factory dials weve ever seen and everything remains in veryand#44; very nice condition. Even the trunk is in good orderand#44; carrying a bias-ply spare and ultra-clean trunk pans that need only a factory mat. With 396 cubic inches and an advertised 375 horsepower on tapand#44; this Chevelle is a lot more than just a pretty face. The gnarly big block was fully rebuilt for combat and offers a few choice upgrades to build horsepower. Chevy Orange paintand#44; an open-element air cleanerand#44; reproduction decalsand#44; and aluminum big block valve covers all scream Bowtie performance. Upgrades include a Holley carburetor on a polished Edelbrock intake manifoldand#44; an MSD ignition systemand#44; and an aluminum radiator up front. The Muncie 4-speed manual transmission powers a rugged 12-bolt rear with a reinforced cover for heavy-duty use. The stainless dual exhaust system includes cut-outs for when you really want it to cackleand#44; but even properly buttoned-upand#44; it sounds nasty. Its also carrying recent shocks and a set of old-style Torque Thrust wheels and fat 225/70/15 BFG rubber all around. Nicely builtand#44; very powerfuland#44; and a ton of fun to driveand#44; this Chevelle gets everything right. At this priceand#44; you can have a lot of fun and not worry about losing your investment. Call today! |
