This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible Tribute showcases a menacing black exterior that exemplifies muscle car aesthetics. The glossy black paint contrasts sharply with the chrome trim and bright work, creating a visually striking presence. Staggered U.S. Mags wheels, 17 inches in front and 18 inches in rear, give this Chevelle an aggressive stance. A black vinyl convertible top adds to its classic profile. Chrome bumpers, both front and rear, along with rocker panel trim and an SS hood, complete the iconic look. This Chevelle rides on 215/55R17 front and 255/45R18 rear tires, providing substantial grip for dynamic driving.
The interior features red leatherette bucket seats that match the car's performance-oriented character. A black dashboard houses an updated gauge cluster with additional auxiliary gauges, keeping the driver well-informed. The billet steering column offers tilt functionality for improved ergonomics, while the floor-mounted Hurst shifter stands ready for rapid gear changes. A Custom Autosound radio system delivers modern audio capabilities without compromising the vintage aesthetics. Although not currently installed, a center console comes included, allowing the future owner to further customize the interior layout.
At the core of this Chevelle tribute sits a 396 cubic inch V8 engine, mated to a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission. The engine compartment displays a clean and organized layout, featuring chrome valve covers and a matching breather. An orange-painted block pays homage to Chevrolet's performance legacy, while an aluminum radiator efficiently manages engine temperatures. The drivetrain is enhanced by a quick-ratio power steering box for improved handling response. QA1 adjustable suspension components, including tubular upper control arms and boxed trailing arms, allow for precise tuning of the car's ride and handling characteristics. Power front disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, complemented by a dual exhaust system with resonators that produces a muscular exhaust note.
