1966 Chevrolet Impala Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
After peak sales of 239,500 in 1965, the 1966 Chevrolet Impala saw a steep drop in sales in 1966: they fell more than 50% to just 119,314. Some blame the release of the Caprice and its new luxurious image. Others blame the restyling of the Impala, which took away some of its signature items, such as its six round taillights. Chevy introduced a new engine to the line: a 427-ci V8 rated at 425 horsepower with 460 lb-ft of torque. Unfortunately, this engine was so loud that it became known as the "rock-crusher" as the noise and vibration sent from it dominated the feel of the ride of the car.

The only thing I dislike about this car is the fact that it met a deer up close and personal! It was minimal damage to the hood which will be an expensive touch to correct. When I'm driving this car, being a woman-heads definately turn.Jun 12, 2010

This is a american muscle car that some people would pay tremendous amounts of money for but what really gets me is the performance even when my dad and I first bought it it was driveable and that saying a lot considering nobody had drove it in 25 years.Oct 08, 2009

My 1966 Impala convertible is also an SS model. The factory 327-275 hp engine has been rebuilt to 1966 Corvette engine specifications. The powerplant includes the addition of new 10.25:1 pistons etc, Comp cam, bee hive valve springs and roller tip rocker arms, a 625cfm Holley carb, headers and dual exhaust bring this beast to cruising speed nicely. It has a black bucket seat interior with only a tachometer added tastefully to the stock interior. It is a blast to drive and we get the thumbs up from many admirers at cruise nights or just cruisin to the local burger or icecream place. I luv it! Jan 21, 2009

Second owner, and had this car for over 35 years. Wins lots of trophies at the shows here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Has been choosen as the front cover of Impala News, USA. I truly look forward to a nice summer day when we cruise with family and friends. Chrome, chrome, chrome will make one stand back when admiring the goods under the hood. This car is a joy to ride and indeed a honour to own. The red body and white boot attract alot of attention, especially, July 1st, Canada Day. Nothing beats a 1966 Chevy Impala Convertible. Top This, licence plate says it all.Jan 07, 2007

I have a 1966 impala hardtop 2 door. Non SS car. I recently noticed the frame is fully boxed. Was this the standard for these cars or did some have the C channel frame?
I have asked a few people and some say that the only impalas that came with a fully boxed frame were convertibles and some SS models. Mine is neither. I have checked the vin number and it says the car is and original 327 2 speed power glide car. Not sure if this is standard on impalas. I would appreciate any help........Thanks, Larry
