The Chevelle was one of Chevrolets most popular nameplates during its nearly decade and a half production run. A style leader throughtout that time, the 66 model was no exception and almost a half million buyers brought one home. SS models combined the already attractive mid size with musclecar styling cues such as simulated vents in the hood and rocker trim. Chevrolet was not going to release the SS as just looking the part however as they added hotter engines and better suspension to the mechanical side of the package. The convertible offered here is perhaps the most desirable of all and one drive with the top down should be all thats needed to see why. 396 375-hp, engine recently rebuilt. New interior, new paint job, new Brembo brakes, new aluminum rad complete with electric cooling fan, new tires. Car has been redone from head to toe.
