66 Chevelle SS Commercial

[@WesAndSherrySportsCards]

I practically grew up in my Father’s ‘66 SS 396. I was sad when he traded it for a ‘79 GMC Suburban. Thanks for sharing this.

[@mr.roaddogwade7107]

I just love these man. 👏🏼👍🏼

[@camman6912]

Thanks for the video! Who would ever have thought these cars would be so collectable. My friends parents bought a new 67 chevelle malibu in that plum color back then.

[@kevinjackson6568]

In 66 i was 10years old. A neibor had a Butternut Yellow Red Striped tire SS 396/4speed. I always ❤ Chevelles thru the years😂

[@walkietalkie1973]

I just left the Chevy dealer and they informed me they were sold out of the 66 model 53 years ago....

[@randallgreen6746]

I wish that the Big 3 would make car's like this today, it would give "the green new deal" lover's Heart Attacks! 😂

[@impalaman9707]

That term "Turbo Jet" was a good term ,made that thing sound like it would shoot off like an aircraft!

[@mexicanfrenchmenmoser7367]

Still have mine 37 years later

[@chrisleggett685]

$900 cars when I was in high school. I should have bought every muscle car I saw.

[@paulacri604]

Great car, I had a new one ! A demonstrator, 66 marina blue SS396 2 door hardtop. 325hp, 4 speed, 3.73 posi rear. Had it for 17 months before I traded it in on a 67 Pontiac GTO ragtop. Wish I still had both [or either] of these cars !

[@camessner4072]

I'll take two please! :)

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

As much as I love this one, the best one had to be the 454 Chevelle from 1970. That was the Chevelle at it's peak.

[@4vmax]

Love this car

[@landerson2639]

My uncle bought one new in the color of yellow in 66, it was known in Richmond virginia for years as the bad banana which he had written on the rear fenders

[@Dave-hc6pp]

I was in Richmond around that time. I think I actually remember seeing that car.

[@davidmccaffery7977]

Chevy sure had it going on back then

[@orgami100]

Always had 396 envies. . since my 66 Malibu was a 283 with four on the floor.. my cautious father bought me a blue one..

[@randyjones7818]

Jason Wilson .I bought one in 1971 .awesome car..rj

[@stevenvanheel3932]

My 66 has a 283 in it also. I’m currently building a 350 for it.

[@Mjb317]

I wish I was alive for these times

[@slingshot9150]

I was and took it for granted. we were so blessed to live then.

[@Dejaelvicio507]

And no money 🤣

[@christopherekin1747]

@@Dejaelvicio507 No one had money? Explain please.

[@NKP73]

It was a glorious time

[@CarefulWithThatAxeEugene]

The good ol' days....

[@jimyounger9490]

I had 2 66 Chevelles in my time. One was 283 powerglide , the other tubbed out ls7 crate motor , that in early 80’s cost like $2500 , and TCI trans.

[@hgrorng]

We are in the process of restoring my dad's Marina Blue 66 SS right now, he has owned since late '69.

[@hbsoc200]

That's awesome! I hope the restoration process won't cost you and leg and an arm! I have spend at least $25,000 restoring my 1965 Impala SS.

[@ScottMitchell-jx8xs]

My Favorite

[@sharitcuello5026]

Vaya buen video nostálgia por esto Bro aunque el Chevelle SS 396 de 1966 siempre me ha llamado demasiado la atención Bro

[@charleslanphier8094]

When you could say "A 396 cubic inch turbo jet V8" with pride. American muscle.

[@paddle_shift]

Love the narrator on this commercial. Wonder what his name was?

[@daver53]

The music really adds something here. I remember it when it came out at 12 years old. Direction and editing almost look contemporary.

[@intensivemanagement]

Life was easy fun & simple yet no one realized it - they were stressing then too try on 2023

[@islanderbyrd1881]

Loved these 396s. Back then cars were about art, beauty, style, and performance. Now all they make are boxy ugly SUVs.

[@matrox]

I now drive a 17' Camaro Special Suspension.

[@jaredmiller2237]

SS = Super Sport

[@matrox]

@1971 Zozo Millennial my ass my 17' Super Sport has Special Suspension.

[@JENDALL714]

Why do ads, even today mention the tires as a selling point? Who buys or doesn't buy a car because of the tires?

[@dennisdethloff7467]

My first car , had one back in 76

[@danieldonahue3293]

fun car if your a mellow drag-street racer... add a big cam, headers, dual point, 800cfm holley, then... hang on what a rush!

[@matrox]

66 Chevelle SS/Special Suspension.

[@jaredmiller2237]

SS stands for super sport.

[@cargo4441]

Had a 1967 ss 396 4 speed went sideways in it totaled the car but glad to be alive.

[@marks.2613]

My Dad had a 66. Sharp car

[@displayfireworks1]

0:35 What the heck is that option on the back window they are showing.

[@corkyrose9011]

It was the "flying buttress" roof design that was standard on all of the 1966 and1967 GM intermediates.

[@joequillun7790]

@awd protege didn't move, just a reflection in the stainless as it was driving.

[@justsumguy2u]

As much as I love musclecars, 90% of the commercials for them were horrible. They'd mention what engine you could have, but they never conveyed any real image of speed or performance in the commercial.

[@chargermaster3676]

justsomeguytoyou the dodge charger ones were my favorite commercials mopar commercials

[@75aces97]

GM was notoriously conservative about that. They built a few fast sleds, but officially didn't want to be associated with racing or hot rodding. Kind of like a Baptist preacher who makes the best whiskey in the land, and makes lots of money off it, but sells it under a pseudonym.

[@displayfireworks1]

0:35 What the heck is that moving piece on the side of the window?

[@joequillun7790]

Just a reflection in the stainless trim. Not really moving.

[@joequillun7790]

@awd protege As years passed onto those GM A-bodies, (66-67) those areas did start moving. Mainly cause they tended to rust out, so metal could potentially "flap" in the breeze. lol

[@joequillun7790]

"New "TURBO-JET" V-8, with a "TURBO-hydro-matic transmission". Where's the turbos? LOL

[@chuckgrenci6404]

The turbo, referred to in the transmission, is the torque convertor.

[@joequillun7790]

@@chuckgrenci6404 Hey, you're right! There is a turbine in there. Along with a stator too. All we need is a compressor, and igniter, and we could be off to the moon. LOL

[@randyjones7818]

How bout those 14in red stripe tires..last about 6 mos...with that turbo 396..8 miles per gallon.but who cares.good old car.r

[@paulmallery6719]

Tar in 1 burnout

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I had a 396/402 Boat-Anchor Overrated. Timing chain jumped @ 66K Also a Pantera shat all over me in my SS396 1970 Chevelle.

[@bhaggen]

No doubt, the std 396 was a Caprice motor unless you opted for the L-78; those Ford 351 HO Clevelands were bad-ass motors; the Boss 302s had truck blocks with 351 HO Cleveland heads
