When it comes to the Golden Age of muscle cars, almost no name engenders more respect than the mighty Chevelle. Fully repainted in this captivating Marina Blue, this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 emanates equal parts style and speed. A straight body, cool-as-ice hardtop demeanor, and shimmering chrome all combine forces to create a boulevard bruiser cruiser that is unlike anything else on the road. With just 2,406 miles on it since undergoing a two-and-a-half year full frame-off rotisserie restoration, this revitalized SS is ready to give its next lucky owner miles and miles of smiles for years to come.
Inside, we find a sea of enchanting black vinyl. A center console separates a pair of comfy bucket seats, while a three-spoke wood-rimmed power-assisted steering wheel featuring a Bowtie center cap sits in front of a subtle Dakota Digital gauge that mimics the classic horizontal 120-mph speedometer perfectly, but with some added technology, and the throwback sliding HVAC controls (complete with air conditioning) remind us how simple driving used to be. An upgraded AM/FM/AUX head unit offers Bluetooth connectivity as it handles soundtrack duties in conjunction with a Kicker amp and speakers, while the cueball-style shifter knob attached to the floor-mounted stick promises to offer up an engaging ride, whether it's across town or cross-country.
Under the hood, we find a transplanted 454 cubic-inch V-8 engine looking right at home with its primer orange block, chrome air cleaner, and accessories. A single four-barrel Holley carburetor feeds this beast, while a stock-style exhaust manifold feeds into a true dual exhaust and exits out of a set of sweet-sounding Pypes mufflers to give this old school muscle car the sound it deserves. Power flows from that big block to a tried-and-true Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmission, then to the 12-bolt rear that transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of fifteen-inch Rallye wheels shod in 275/60R-15 BFG Radial T/A tires in back, while a set of power-assisted 235/60R-15s handles steering duties up front.
