Write a review
The 1966 Chevelle SS came standard with a 396-ci V8 rated at 325 horsepower. 325 horses in a standard engine! Options could boost that power right up to the 375 horses in the L78 396 engine.
The Chevelle was also given a more muscular look for 1966, with a cigar-shaped body and a fender that sloped down and in.

I don't know how this has become confusing but the car is a 1967 not a 66. The automobile needs some repair but I have owned the car since August of 1992. And I would Never sell it :-) Thanks to all that are interested in this article

i love my 66 gets tons of head nods of approval..hard to cruise because people stop me every where i go...i love it. I have a few more things to fix on it but a nice daily cruiser, and the 4 speed is an absolute blast to drive. For a 66 it handles ok wish it had air ride technology suspension under it thou.Aug 09, 2008

This 1966 Chevelle has been in my family for 17 years. I helped build since I was 6 months old. It has nos and isnt street legal anymore. It also has drag wheels and is part of the NHRA. It does 10 seconds on the 1/4 mile and has a small block engine.Feb 27, 2008

Just so it's known, this isn't my actual car because I don't have a picture of it. This is the closest example I could find. As soon as i find a picture i will put it up instead. This is my favorite car of all time. I love the looks and color of my car. It was originally my dad's and he had it for 20 years before me. They are just a great example of the classis '60's American Muscle Car. It has a 396 V8 engine which needless to say hauls ass. Feb 11, 2008

All balls and no brains. Minor corrotion on outter chrome. Good Paint. Bucket seats in front, full in back. Original dash has a crack or two. Not matching numbers... motor is from a 66 wagon. 402 bored .005.... a bit over 400 hp. Disk in front, drum in the back. Airbag suspension in the back. Balls to the walls. Not for the weak of heart.Jan 20, 2008

1966 Malibu Chevelle
Big Block 396: Comp Cams performance camshaft, Holley carb, built for drag racing, powerglide 3-speed, Flowmaster Super 40 exhaust with Hooker headers (translation: very loud), Mickey thompson ET Street Slicks, Weld Racing Pro Star rims, 12-bolt rear end, line-lock. Runs 11 seconds in the 1/4 mile. Very fun to drive, has always smoked any other street car. Never seen a car that can do better burnouts than this one, in second gear you can blow the tires off for 2000 feet.
It is a drag car, not a show car. No rust, no rot, but it is a drag rat. The car is owned with the purpose of being driven and having fun.Jan 16, 2008
