Gateway Classic Cars Tampa Showroom is pumped to digitally present this nasty 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle "SS" Tribute. Car guys and girls love to name their rides and this one might be appropriately named, "El Diablo." Everything about this '66 is HOT! The red paint is so hot you'll have to squint. Maybe, "Hot Sauce" is a better name. Anyway, if you want the classic mid '60s Chevelle look but with substantially better performance then look no further. This "Tribute" was a full blown restoration performed by the owner who just happens to be a retired military veteran with a serious attention to detail obsession. Under the hood, is a very healthy de-stroked 454 (140154445) crammed with a mean sounding cam and topped off with Edelbrock heads, Weiand Stealth intake, and a Brawler carb. A Muncie 4-speed sends the power back to a 12 bolt rear differential with 3.73 gears. Wilwood brakes and QA1s keep everything stopping and handling better than new. If you want to mess with your neighbors, flip a switch and the exhaust opens...he he. They'll love it. So here's the bottom line. This '66 has the look, the stance, the power, and the cool factor without question. It would virtually be impossible to find a worthy Chevelle, take it to a quality shop, and have it built to this level for what you can buy this tough guy for. Consignor/Builder has a folder of receipts. You'll see this one sitting on the showroom floor at the Tampa location, but you better hurry!
