This 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible is an absolutely gorgeous, Real Deal Factory Super Sport that is absolutely loaded with fantastic options! When Chevrolet introduced the Impala in 1958 as the Bel Air's flagship trim, no one at General Motors could have anticipated how completely it would come to define American automotive culture. Spun off as its own model line in 1959, the Impala grew into Chevrolet's best-selling nameplate through the early 1960s - and by the middle of the decade, it was the best-selling car in the United States. The 1965 model year brought a sweeping redesign that set the template for the generation, and the 1966 Chevrolet Impala carried that new look forward with a series of refined, purposeful updates. At the front, the fenders were raked forward for a more aggressive stance, and the dual headlight assemblies received bright anodized bezels flanking a matching anodized grille - a crisper, more polished face than the year before. At the rear, the signature round triple taillights that had been an Impala hallmark since nearly the car's beginning gave way to a cleaner, more contemporary rectangular taillight assembly, signaling that Chevrolet was looking forward even while honoring the model's heritage. Within the Impala lineup, no variant was more coveted than the Super Sport. The 1966 Impala SS was distinguished from standard Impalas by a suite of exterior enhancements - dedicated front fender SS nameplates, a unique Super Sport grille insert, and SS badging on the trunk lid. Step inside, and the interior made the car's sporting intent equally clear: Super Sport nomenclature appeared throughout the cabin, with available upgrades including bucket seats, a center console, and SS-badged instrumentation on the dashboard. For buyers who wanted Chevrolet's best - in comfort, in style, and in performance - the Impala SS Convertible was the answer; and not much has changed! This particular Impala SS Convertible comes to us from southern collectors who clearly enjoyed the car while under their ownership. Powering this '66 Impala SS is an Upgraded 350 cubic inch V8 fueled by an upgraded FiTech fuel injection system that greatly improves the car's reliability and power.
