1966 Chevrolet Impala Description
Up for sale is a sweetheart of a car. 1966 Chevrolet Impala has the original 396 engine that starts and runs great! It had factory A/C has been converted to new R134a and blows cold. The blower motor squeeks for a few seconds when it starts up then goes away quickly. If it's used more often it doesn't sqweek. The automatic shifts smooth and the car drives nice and straight. WE have upgraded the brakes to front discs and installed a new master cylinder and booster. When we did that work We install new dropped front spindles, new upper and loser ball joints and tie rod ends. The front end is super tight and solid! We lowered the rear as well and installed new 20" wheels and tires in the rear and 18" wheels and tires in the front. This gave the car an awesome and aggressive stance and I get tons of compliments everywhere we go. This car still rides smooth as a cloud and has a lot of power with the big block.
We added new mufflers, tail pipes and chrome tips this spring. We noticed today that the generator light flickers on once in a while. We will be installing a new alternator this week to take car of that. This car only gets the best of care, mostly sets in the garage under cover and only comes out on nice Sundays. Sees a few hundred miles each year. Hence the reason were selling it, We just don't use it enough to justify having it set. Time for someone else to have fun.
This car is in awesome condition. Buy it and go to a show tomorrow. This car doesn't need anything! The paint is smooth, straight and shiny. I found 2 small rock chips in the front and I will have them touched up before the auction is over. All the chrome is in perfect condition. The bumpers are rechromed recently and look great. All the glass is scratch free and they look beautiful.
The top is about 2 years old. When it was removed and replaced we found no rust underneath. The metal top was in good condition. I recently installed a MP3 type radio that can be plugged into your ipod or phone. It's hidden in the glove box and out of site.
I will be posting a video soon, The pictures just don't do this car justice. It start quickly and sounds great! This car has been adult owned for many years, driven very sparingly and it shows.
Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions.
