When it comes to the Golden Age of muscle cars, almost no name can instantly open up a floodgate of memories and a rush of adrenaline quite like the mighty Chevelle. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Tribute comes fully repainted in its captivating Marina Blue that emanates equal parts style and speed. A straight body, aggressive stance, and correct Super Sport badging combine to create a boulevard bruiser or cruiser unlike anything else on the road.
Inside, the supple black vinyl interior is dark and inviting. A center console separates a pair of soft bucket seats, while a three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel featuring a Chevrolet logo center cap sits in front of a massive 10,000-rpm AutoMeter Cobalt tachometer. Beyond that sits a classic horizontal 120-mph speedometer, while a set of VDO and SW auxiliary gauges and a big 7,000-rpm tachometer sit offset under the dashboard. The throwback sliding HVAC controls (complete with air conditioning) remind us how simple driving used to be. An upgraded Bluetooth-enabled RetroSounds AM/FM/AUX head unit handles soundtrack duty, while the floor-mounted T-bar shifter promises to offer up an engaging ride, whether it's across town or cross-country.
Although originally a factory 396 car, this Chevelle's engine bay features a transplanted (and larger) 468-cubic-inch V-8 engine that looks right at home. Pro Comp Aluminum heads, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold feeds this beast, while a set of Hooker long-tube headers feeds into a true dual FlowMaster exhaust, giving this old-school muscle car the sound it should have. Power flows from that big block to a TH400 three-speed manual transmission, before the 12-bolt rear transfers those ponies to the pavement via fifteen-inch wheels.
