Classic Car Overview
Some cars are restored. Others are returned to the moment they first rolled beneath the bright lights of a Chevrolet showroom. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is one of those rare examples (just over 5,000 ever produced). Finished in its factory-correct Mist Blue, this stunning frame-off restoration captures the look, feel, and spirit of one of Chevrolets most legendary muscle cars with an incredible level of authenticity and attention to detail.
Under the hood sits the legendary EG-suffix L78 396 cubic-inch Turbo-Jet V8, factory rated at a pavement-rippling 375 horsepower. Topped with the correct Winters aluminum intake manifold and 800 CFM Holley carburetor, this high-compression big block delivers the unmistakable sound and brutal performance that made the L78 one of the most sought-after engines of the muscle car era. Backing the engine is a 4-speed manual transmission, sending power through a CI-code 3.73 Positraction rear axle for the kind of acceleration enthusiasts dreamed about in 1966.
Every detail under the hood reflects the dedication of the restoration, including the correct L78 idler pulley, Harrison 4-core radiator, spiral shocks, T3 headlights, and a factory-style dual aluminized exhaust system that produces the unmistakable deep-block Chevrolet soundtrack.
Inside, the Chevelle is equally impressive. The black bucket seat interior looks showroom fresh, highlighted by the highly desirable original L78 Knee Knocker 7,000 RPM tachometer, putting the driver in command of one of Chevrolets most iconic performance packages. Even the rare original GM tissue dispenser remains in place, a charming period accessory that speaks to the authenticity of this remarkable restoration. Genuine GM rubber floor mats complete the cabin with factory-correct presentation.
The attention to detail extends well beyond what meets the eye. Open the trunk and youll find a beautifully finished compartmen
