1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 modern Delco HEI distributor
History of the Chevrolet Chevelle: The early success of the Chevelle Malibu with the Super Sport package led to the big block SS396 becoming its own model series in 1966. This change made the VIN of these special cars easier to identify using a '13817' designation for Hardtop and '13867' for Convertible models. The Super Sport package offered either a 325hp, 360hp, or high performance 375 horsepower option. In conjunction with any selected engine package, each SS396 vehicle received rocker panel & rear fender moldings, wheel lip moldings, blacked out front grill & rear tail panel, and side-facing simulated hood scoops up front. Super Sport emblems are displayed on the rear fenders, along with a SS396 badges in the front grill and on the rear tail panel. Chevrolet 396 Turbo-Jet V-flag badges proudly adorn the forward front fenders. Of the total 71,773 Chevelle SS396's manufactured and sold domestically, the convertibles are far rarer with just 5,393 sold! Finding one with all the right attributes can be a difficult task! Details About This Chevelle Example For Sale: Offered here is a gorgeous 1966 Chevrolet SS396 Convertible fitted with the desirable L78- 396ci/375 horsepower powerplant, 4-speed Muncie transmission, and 12-bolt rear axle fitted with 4.11 Posi-Traction! Finished in its factory appointed color code of F2- Marina Blue with Black convertible top over 763- Black Strato-Bucket seats. Features include power brakes, rare power steering, F40 Special Suspension with front & rear anti-sway bars & heavy-duty springs, power folding convertible top, full dash instrumentation with "knee-knocker" 7K tachometer, center console with electric clock, front & rear seatbelts, windshield washer, and rubber floor mats! The original 14" steel wheels are now 15" replacements with standard hubcaps, as is the original radio in lieu of a more modern AM/FM/Cassette unit in the stock location along with updated kick panel speakers. This Chevelle SS396 Convertible has been with the former owner for nearly 20 years and driven sparingly each year mostly attending an occasional summer car show with is wife. It was last repainted in two-stage fashion approximately 10 years ago, with about 2,000 miles on the fully restored drivetrain.
