1966 Chevrolet Chevelle

Gateway Classic Cars of Philadelphia is thrilled to present this stunning 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 Coupe! This is the real deal; not a clone, nor a tribute nor an amateur excuse. If you are looking for a true Super Sport, look no further, for this is the one! Assembled at the GM plant in Lakewood, GA in April 1966 and sold by Beasley-Cross Chevrolet Co. in Kannapolis, North Carolina, this vehicle has seen a lot in its day and looks to see much more with its new owner! As previously mentioned, this Chevelle is a real SS as denoted not only by the “138” in the VIN, but more importantly by the presence of its legendary power plant, a 396 CID V8 Big Block Engine! Additionally, this is not some average crate engine; it too is the real McCoy! While several plants assembled Chevelles, there was only one that produced the 396 Big Blocks; Tonawanda. Yes indeed, this engine is stamped on the bare block pad with the “T” ensuring this is a true factory period correct Chevelle SS396! Coupled to the engine is a Muncie four-speed manual transmission that extends its company within the interior as a Hurst ® shifter. Add a 12 bolt posi- traction 3.55 rear end and you’ll be sure to smoke the competition!

While you are in the interior, look around and admire the flawless headliner and dash which look as nice as they did when the car left the assembly plant. Comfortable and stylish black vinyl bucket seats and center console echo the sporty nature of the car and provide a grand view of a beautiful instrument panel with full gauges. Note the tachometer and clock which bring both performance and luxury qualities to the driver’s experience.

Thanks to a complete frame off rotisserie restoration, this Chevelle knocks out every other car you’ve seen. The professionals of Old Gold Auto Restoration in Sackville, Nova Scotia brought this Chevelle SS to the next level and subcontracted the engine overhaul work with an engine shop to GM standards.

A mirror finish was achieved thanks to superior body work that went down to the bare metal. During restoration, all the body panels were shown to be rust free originals. The car received a glowing multiple base-clear coat paint job that replicates the original Aztec Bronze (M-M Paint Code) color that graced this car in 1966. Carefully walk around and you’ll see correct badging as well as factory stickers that are seen when opening the trunk denoting jacking instructions and limited slip differential caution. Glimmering as much as the body is the engine bay that holds the 396 and excellently represents a solid restoration. A factory distributor and ignition share space with a newly installed AGM 12 volt battery in a simulated 1966 GM AC Delco case.

Additional features include AM/FM RadiowithCassette, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Seat Belts, and a set of 15” period correct Rally Wheels (BF Goodrich T/A raised white letter radials including spare!)
