1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Description

My car is a 1966 Aztec Bronze (one year only factory color) SS 396 Chevelle. Matching numbers driveline and I have photographs of the numbers. I am told it is a matching numbers car and that I am the third owner. I bought the car in California and believe it to be a California car. It is VIN #138..... It is all original except for working Vintage A/C. Was ordered with Pwr Steering, bench sea, power glide. I have original paperwork on the man who ordered the the car new. Paperwork includes original purchase invoice and protecto plate. I have swapped the power glide out for a 700R4 overdrive transmission. I still have the power glide and hardware and it will go with car. I have upgraded brakes to power with dual master cylinder. In addition, it has new wheels and tires and Custom Auto sound bluetooth radio with hands free calling and stereo speaker. Interior is two tone fawn and is excellent. It has the knee knocker tach. One interesting factory option is the rear glass fan/defogger. The car had a sympathetic restoration about 15 years ago. It got carpet and a respray. There has never been any rust and all the sheet metal is original as far as I can tell. The numbers still show on the quarter panels. This car has always been garaged obviously. The car starts right up, idles on electric choke and runs great. Transmission is great. It does not have overheating issues. Runs around 185* and
holds 40 pounds of oil pressure. There are gauges for oil pressure and coolant temp. The car is super clean, even underneath. The floor pans look like new (see pics) and the paint is glossy and super nice with no chips or dings. It needs nothing and is good to go. Odometer shows 10000 miles. Could be actual. I like this car. But do not have the room any longer for this toy. I have lots of photos. Call me with questions. We drove the car on the 2019 HotRod Magazine Power Tour this year with no issues. The pictures don't do this car justice.
