Ive seen this car run. Everytime I see it I can't look away. Deep black paint job. Has 3 pedals ugh it's on my bucket list. Plus the classic look with the Cragers

66 was the best year for the Chevelle love that body style. 👍
@mehmetmutluoglu15428 ай бұрын
Unable to comment significantly on this car but I would say, 66 Chevelle has the best body shape in US built cars, in my eyes. It looks as sharp as a fast-back, yet as elegant as a swan. A great harmony of mild and smooth lines creating a sports look.

I had a black 66 SS Chevelle with red interior back in the early seventies. It also had a L72 427 engine in it. I was top dog in our area for awhile street racing late at night on a quarter mile straightaway.

The 427 didn't come out till 1967 it couldn't have had 427 in it but it could had 396 by looks you can't tell the two apart
@dougtinsley13209 ай бұрын
I seem to remember that the 427 came out in 66 but I don't remember ever seeing a factory 427 in a Chevelle. I heard of a Chevelle that was supposedly special ordered with a 427 on one occasion but most guys did the same as me; found a wrecked Impala or Corvette and pulled the engine.. My old Camaro had a 69 model 390 h.p. 427 out of a Caprice. They were good engines and would really go if you worked on them a bit.
