Real SS. Gorgeous! Custom suspension & brakes.
1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Description
This is a genuine 138 code Super Sport. Killer color combination and some exhilarating performance upgrades.
EXTERIOR: Atlanta built car, so it's a southern body. Each panel is really straight. Smooth along the bottoms. It is polished like a mirror reflection. I didn't see any signs of damage or bubbles. Overall the chrome and trim on the car is mostly new. No ugly vinyl top. Has a new windshield. Weather strips and window seals replaced. 17 inch polished Torque Thrust wheels have G-Force performance tires.
INTERIOR: I love the red interior against the black. It looks like it's completely restored unside. The seats are like brand new including the cushions, upholstery, chrome trim and seat backs. New red carpet down on the floor, has a factory center console with a 5-speed Hurst shifter sticking out of it. In front of me is a restored dash area. All the metal is painted gloss black, new dash pad, glovebox liner, chrome bezels and lenses, heater control panel is clean. It has a retro digital stereo. Has factory in dash gauges and factory knee knocker tachometer. It's dressed up with a custom black and red Billet Specialties steering wheel. Overhead is a new headliner that fits nice and tight, new visors. Door panels are new including window cranks and armrests.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Dressed up as an SS 427. It's actually a 496 stroker! It has a high performance cam, aluminum heads, aluminum Edelbrock intake with a dual feed Holley carb, MSD ignition system and a set of Hooker headers. An aluminum radiator and water pump, twin electric fans keeps it cool. It is upgraded with a dual reservoir, chrome master cylinder. It has correct power steering with remote reservoir.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean metal, trunk floor looks spotless. The bottom of the trunk lid and the jamb is painted glossy, has new weatherstrip.
UNDERSIDE: It has a complete custom UMI suspension kit front and back. It's red to look extra cool too. Upfront it has really fat sway bar and fat tubular control arms with coilover adjustable shocks. All the steering components have been replaced. In back it has tubular upper and lower control arms, sway bar and new shocks. Bottom of the motor is still spotless, it has a high torque starter that's been painted red. That's 5-speed Tremec transmission and a Currie Ford 9 inch rear end. Custom brake system with slotted and drilled discs at all four wheels with red calipers. Great sounding Flowmaster exhaust. If you really want to rattle the windows it has electric dumps that open up with a switch under the dash. Fuel system looks new- tank, sending unit, straps. Floors look solid.
Best word to describe this car is exciting. The killer looks, performance driveline, suspension and brakes. This is a car you want to drive. I don't just mean go to the store. I mean go mash the pedal, shift those gears and hit the curves. You will look good doing it too!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
