1966 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport 427 4-Speed Muscle Car Of The Week Video #67

1966 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport 427 4-Speed Muscle Car Of The Week Video #67
The Chevrolet Impala Super Sports have always been big in size, long on style, and strong in performance. This week, we're featuring a special Super Sport... a beautiful Marina Blue 1966 Impala Super Sport featuring the new-for-'66 427 in the hottest-available L72 trim. This high-compression Turbo Jet big block was rated at 425 HP and is coupled to a close-ratio 4-speed stick transmission, and is willing to burn the tires for miles. Inside, the parchment white bucket seat interior features a full console with stacked gauges, bright chrome trim, and a high-revving tach in the dash. This car not only gets you there quickly, you arrive in comfort and style. It lives in the Brothers Collection.

My favorite year of the Impalas 1966 just so happens to be my birth year also. With the L72 427 cubic inch V=8 and the 4 speed manual oooohhh-eeee what a dream car that would be to own and drive!

[@lolapalacios1654]

Just beautiful 👍 less is more in my opinion. The simplicity of this vehicle, makes it so classy. Thank you for sharing. 👍

[@kmath50]

Very nice. I have always liked the 1966 Chevys. My friend's dad worked at the Van Nuys, CA assembly plant when these were being built. Still looks great 50 years later.

[@adriantomlin2902]

Hell yeah bro!! Why wouldn't they?! Compared to these no personality, ugly ass cookie cutter junk we have today??!! No comparison!!!

[@stripervince1]

a bunch of my buddies had 1963-67 impalas in high school in the 70s. they rode amazing like cadillacs. beautiful cars. as much as I dislike gms. I do appreciate them now

[@jeffreybaer3807]

Got my 66 in 1988. Not matching neither. 454 400trany. 12 bolt. Etc. Navy life. Ship cv66 America. Get looks every weekend!😎

[@jkmsaturn]

Chevrolet was doing something right back then . . . Not a dislike to be found after over 20K views! Great video, as well.

[@davewilkirson2320]

I like this guy. The presentations are comfortable and well structured. I grew up in the 1960's. Dad owned Chevrolet's and I remember the 1965 Impala he purchased. It had the 327/250 and I took my driver's license test in that car. Later we had a 1969 Caprice with a 350 and then a 1972 Impala. Loved those GM cars. They were durable and fun. Later in the 70's things became worse for American auto manufacturers with restrictions and such.

[@ChrisDavis-dt6xx]

Absolutely gorgeous Chevrolet

[@michaelschaffer6845]

I really enjoy watching this series. Host is great very knowledgeable informative genuine muscle car dude. Show is presented very well I'm a big fan. I'm 39 fell in love with muscle cars when I was like 5. Dukes of Hazzard reruns. My 1st car was '71 Chrysler 300. Could you possibly do an episode about the fuselage Chryslers?

[@darrellepickering8433]

I saw 1 of those in a 4-door '66 Biscayne in '68 at a car lot. Surprised me so much I popped the hood. Yup, it was in there! My guess it had been a police car, likely rode hard, put away wet.

[@Rarerat]

Very cool. I have an original 66 Impala L-72 4 bolt 427 Block sitting in the garage. :-)

[@troybrown6012]

Want to sell it

[@timcruze11]

Such an awesome car. I would love an impala like that. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@edsyphan3425]

As a kid ,I remember an older gentleman had a black 67 convertible with the same powertrain. Used it as a daily driver. It was goregous. Us kids would just drool .

[@bruceh92]

The matching blue steelies with dog dish caps really give the car a great look. Less is more sometimes.

[@ScarlettFire341]

my 1st car was my moms 66 Impala SS convertible 283 auto 2 speed - in 76 I bought a 67 Impala SS 427 385 HP 4 speed, used, I had the window sticker from the original owner - both were Marina Blue - the 67 Fastback was one of my favs

[@johnrunion8989]

After totaling out a new ‘66 L-78 Chevelle SS six mos.after he bought it,my HS friend ordered a ‘66 Marina Blue L-72 Biscayne,M22,4.88 gears to replace it.A set of headers and slicks he was running 12.6s@110-112mph at the now defunct US30 Drag Strip.The numbers for this car must have been posted by Car&Driver.This unadorned SS reminds me very much of that car.

[@hypocycloidiaspora]

About those Gauges, the center gauge package came in 2 different versions - one with the clock, and the other with a vacuum gauge. The Tachometer and the Gauge Pack were 2 separate options, making 4 possible gauge combinations, with 3 possible locations for the clock. 1.) Standard Gauges: Gas, Speedo, Clock, all in Dash. 2.) Optional Tach: Gas, Speedo, Tach in Dash, with the clock moving on top of the dashboard. 3.) Optional Gauge Pack: Gas, Speedo, Clock in Dash; Amps, Temp, Oil Pressure, and Vacuum on Center Console. 4.) Tach + Gauges: Gas, Speedo, Tach in Dash; Amps, Temp, Clock, and Oil Pressure on Console. The car in the video has both Tach and Gauges, which means the Manifold Vacuum Gauge got deleted.

[@Darryl6636]

Ya man what an incredible Chevrolet thanks for sharing I really enjoyed this video

[@samuelsable7793]

Hello sir, Samuel here. I'm car lover. I'm from India, my dream is, to get only this beauty in life. 👍👍👍

[@roysmemorylane]

Awesome video! Thank you so much.

[@thewiseowl3672]

Back when cars were interesting and fun.

[@bryanruilova5799]

Very very cool car.

[@stevepotter7448]

Oh I really dig that....yeah!

[@mikescaffo4850]

Wow what a beautiful beast

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

Repo Man (1984) hot rod!

[@jd4harley]

I guess I am rather surprised that there wasn’t super sport wheel covers on the cover I would’ve thought the small dog dish hubcaps would’ve been something more in line for a base Impala or Biscayne Belair

[@tonyliu8333]

Kevin, you look so small when you stand right next to the car, made me wanna laugh a little. XD This impala is huge!!

[@CoachatCole]

All impalas designs from 65 to 73 are solid

[@josephcameron530]

Awesome!

[@troybrown6012]

Very nice survivor. FUN

[@rweghg3]

My Dad owned a 1966 Chevrolet impala SS 427 convertible ( I cant remember which 427 engine option & he has since passed away ) He was the 2nd owner of that car .. Loved it so much he would have owned it until the day he died but in 1979 a guy ( Not a man ) pestered him for 6 months about buying it for the engine & transmission ( 4-speed ) for his SS Camaro.. It was stolen from our driveway & found in a field burnt in Ringgold GA minus engine & transmission. That guy never stopped by our house again, not even to see if he sold or wrecked it or even if it had been STOLEN... What a piece of garbage this person is or was..

[@60viking]

Memories.

[@trevorwilson5461]

U know in your heart of hearts, where that went.i hate thieves too buddy. Meth has taken our kids souls and ruined alot of good men.

[@v8s10man1]

I saw this car, its gorgeous

[@dowen1511]

All 7mpg of it 👍

[@w41duvernay]

Which is why these 60s and 70s cars needed today's overdrive transmissions.

[@RomVlad]

Gee, it weighs 600 lbs. less than a Challenger Hellcat.

[@adriantomlin2902]

All that "heavy aluminum" on that Hellcat!! Lol!!

[@rickyjohnson3421]

Had a 66 SS, 327 slushbox. How come its not wearing SS hub caps?

[@billfeld5883]

I own a 327 1966 Impala, it got too shoot flames!!!😂😂😂

[@samuelsable7793]

I'm watching this video after 5 years 😊😊

[@radioguy1620]

for a comparison I looked up the 427 Ford Galaxie hardtop and it weighs 3900 lbs . surprising also

[@fonsecahebo]

Fun car vary fast feeling when ridding in it at high speeds air and the mass . Outrages.

[@pauleannetta4063]

Love the sleeper 4 speeds!

[@reneulloa9332]

why did they screw up the rear lights in '66?

[@scootergeorge9576]

"Chevrolet has always been about high performance cars..." Not true. With the possible exception of the stove bolt 6, power glide transmission 1953-54 Corvette, Chevy only became "The Hot One" in 1955 with the introduction of the legendary small block V8.

[@jeremythompson9122]

And even in 1955 the 265 ci Chevy small block V8 really wasn't "The Hot One". By far the fastest car you could buy in 1955 was the Chrysler 300. They had a 331 ci Hemi with dual 4 barrel carbs factory rated by Chrysler at 300 horsepower. The top V8's available from GM and Ford in 1955 were making about 180 horses. Chrysler totally dominated NASCAR in 1955 and 56. It wasn't until 1957 that GM and Ford finally came out with anything that could compete with the Hemi Mopars...the fuel injected Chevy 283, the supercharged Ford 312 Y-Block, and the Pontiac and Oldsmobile V8's with the Tri Power option

[@scootergeorge9576]

@@jeremythompson9122 - Keep in mind that Bill France told the Chrysler 300 guys in 1957 not to bother coming down to Daytona. He would find some excuse to keep them out! The 392 Hemi would have dominated. The 331 and 354 were already up there.

[@trevorwilson5461]

what trans would have been in it.I would have guessed the m 22 ,but he would have mentioned that.would it be a Saginaw ?

[@mattpalmer242]

With the L72, was an automatic offered? And front bench seat?

[@wildbill5670]

Try running one of these on a hot day with pump gas. It will sound like a dozen guys hitting the motor with ball peen hammers. Closed chambers, iron heads shit for gas = preignition or "pinging". I know I had one and mine was the 390 horse.

[@saltydog4759]

How did these fare against a '66 hemi Charger?

[@gojoe283]

Didn't all Super Sports have "spinner" full wheel covers as standard? Either the owner replaced the spinners with these dog dish hubcaps, or the car was special-ordered from the dealer or factory with these caps...

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

***** This car had the SS caps, they are still with the car, but it is currently wearing the dog-dish caps.

[@edcain3676]

MuscleCarOfTheWeek: Which Are GOOD For The "SLEEPER" Look For Street Racing in Neighborhoods Where Ur Not Known.!!LOL

[@chesterfinecat7588]

"The door jambs are original paint." Woo hoo.

[@bigbline405]

It's a shame gm discontinued this style of car with the 96 full sizes cars with the lt1 ford should of dropped the 5.4 or lightning motor in there full sized cars to fill the void the 4.6 was bulletproof but underpowered Chrysler is doing it now but there just not enough competition for it to progress beyond the hellcats and demons now

[@kidrauhlfan4evs]

Check out the single master cylinder, yikes!! Still super cool.

[@chrisscovitch7237]

A 3:23,3:55, 3:70, 3:90, 4:10, 4:11,EVEN A 4:30 REAR END RATIOS WOULD IMPROVED THE PERFORMANCE. AWESOME CAR.

[@johnr5252]

Super car, but that white interior…….yikes!

[@nathanchristopher9752]

The color on the painted rims is off just enough to be wrong.

[@Arthagnou]

look at those tiny exhaust tips...
