Seeing that 66 brings back a sad memory for me . I left my 66 S S 396 4 speed behind at my mother's house when I entered the Marines and was sent to Nam . After my hitch I came back home and was told after 2 weeks I couldn't live there anymore . I loaded that car with my gear and lived in it for over 6 months . I finally got straightened out and continued on in life . I kind of get chocked up when I see a 66 because of the memories . People don't realize how much a part of our lives vehicles are . Thanks Steve for the walk down memory lane .

Man! Memories, huh? I also left my '67 SS behind with my grandparents when I got drafted. Some time later they let my girlfriend use for transportation to work; it was stolen and used in a bank robbery and never recovered. They gave her the insurance money and she bought a damn l yellow like the lemon it was! Good luck out there, Dingle. Yo, memories, right?

They truly are, I agree, and in my opinion that whole first generation is. From 1964 through to and including the 1967 that mid-size A-body just fits a groove and although the SS is the pinnacle, I'll take any two door V8 heh, heh. As a matter of fact, my favourite A-body is the Buick Special from that same 1964-1967 generation. General Motors really got it right for A-bodies of that era, they were firing on all cylinders.

Both are gorgeous cars however - my two favorite years, with the '69 model being a close third. JMO of course. Nice vid...

I had a good friend that had a 66 396 Chevelle around 1980, half brown primer and the other half grey primer and he left it that way for a couple year's. One night several of us were hanging out in another friend's garage drinking beer and a couple of us decided to help him get it painted so we grabbed a huge permanent black magic marker and put 'PAINT ME FOOL' on the grey trunk lid. We all thought it was funny as hell, but he lost it the next day when he saw it and was calling all of us threatening to kick who ever did it's ass. I guess that's what you get when you try to help a friend out.

Always loved the 66/67. Top dog engine option (L78??) 375 horse 396. The first year for the 396 was 1965. 1965 was the only year it was rated 425 horse and only available in the Vette. If you bought a new 65 Vette and you wanted the big block you could only get the 425-horse version of the 396. 427 didn't come out till 67. 65 Chevelle had the first 396 as well but "only" in the 375-horse version. Try to find one now. If you do, hang on to your wallet.

The 1966 427 was originally supposed to get rated at 450 hp, but the insurance companies raised a fuss. The 1966 396 would have been 425 hp, but since the 1966 427 was rated at 425 hp, the 1966 396 got rated at 375 hp.

Back in 1976 I bought a gold 1967 Chevelle SS396/325hp in Phoenix, AZ for $325 off a used car lot because I was told it needed a camshaft and didn't run. I towed it back to a little parts store just outside of Luke AFB and proceeded to try and get the camshaft out of it. Took the intake off and I couldn't pull the lifters out because they were worn on their bottoms and wouldn't come back up through the lifter bores. I could get them up far enough to get the old camshaft out though. Ok, what to do about the lifters. I cut the new camshaft box in half lengthwise and stuck it into where the camshaft would go and pushed the old lifters down until they fell into the box and just pulled them out that way. It worked. Drove that car all over Arizona for a couple of months and then sold it when I was assigned overseas to Germany. I think I got $450 for it. LOL Wish I still had it for sure.

The rear suspension was changed half way into 1967 to address some wheel hop issues. The 1968 pretty much eliminated it and the late 1967 uses 1968 style rear springs.

The 66-67 trunk lids are the same. The 67 Chevelles with the exception of the 300 used the trim along the lip of the trunk lid. The 66 and 67 steering columns are different, as the 67 uses a collapsible steering column. The 66-67 dash frames are different, as are the dash pads, the switch bezel, and dash trim. The 66 doesn’t use the safety latch on the front seats, the 67 does. The dash knobs are also different from 66-67. The 67 is technically a one year only rear end housing as well, even though other years will interchange.

I'm still partial to the Black/black interior, 1967 Buick GS 400, 4speed, 3.91 positracion, disc front, power steering/brakes, factory AC & factory Sun Tach I traded a ' 69 Mach 1 351 mustang with 6K miles for back in 1970......wish I still had it

Guys with money used to have the dealer here in Fremont install a 427, Corvette mill in these when the 396 wasn't enough. Haha.

Father had a 1966 when he was young. Ended up getting a 1967 4 speed 396 ss later in life. We did a body off restoration with alot of performance parts. We took the 396 and punched it .40 over. We brought the compression up a little to 10:1 and it was built completely with forged internals. Slapped a Weiand 871 blower on top withb2 demon 1100 cc carbs amd it was engine dynoed at 1,009 hp on race fuel back in 2007 when 1,000hp was alot. Just about everything else about the car was original except the transmission and read end. Build 4 speed and clutch with a 12 bolt posi. Also stretched the tubs out just enough to put a 10.5 inch tire under it but it was a show car with alot of power pretty much. We did take it to a few test and tunes. Fastest was 6.80s in the 8th at Shelor motor mile .

These are two favorite years. My first car in 1974 was a black '66 SS 396 4SPD just like this one. I was a HS Junior. I've kicked myself for forty years for every letting it get away. I'm sick just watching this video.

Anything that is fake (i.e. hood vents) cannot, by definition, be cool (IMO), unless you're twelve. Of course, if they were real vents, THAT would be cool.

all you did was just show the main differance that every body can see.. the disc brakes werea option on 67 and not a lot of them came with it,,67 was allso first yr for dual master cly, to,, the 396 in 66 came with 325-360-375hp where 67 was 325-350-375hp, 67 allso got turbo 400s in stead of 66s powerglide..and while looking allmost the same the dashes dont interchage, allso got collapable stearing colume in 67

Another interesting fact, 66 was last year of NON COLLAPSIBLE steering column , in 67 law made it mandatory …
