Many argue that at the height of its power, Chevy's Chevelle was the king of the muscle cars, and that is a difficult point to argue. In fact, the only way to make one of GM's baddest cars even meaner is to use modern technology to improve its performance. That thinking is why this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Tribute is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a meticulously frame-off restored, monstrously powerful, head-turning ride. Fully repainted in this eye-catching Porsche Guards Red with its complementing black hardtop, this boulevard bruiser sports a super-straight body, detailed undercarriage, and an exhaust rumble that screams 'get out of my way!'
Inside, we find a factory-style interior that is in like-new condition. A center console separates a pair of bucket seats, while a power-assisted three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel sits before a horizontal 120-mph speedometer. A three-pack of Pro-Comp white-faced auxiliary gauges sits offset under the dash, while an upgraded Jensen AM/FM cassette player handles tunes via a 1200-watt stereo system, and the B&M T-Bar shifter adds a touch of practical flair, while the analog clock situated just before the shifter makes it hard not to beat your last 0-60 mph run.
Under the hood of this Chevelle sits a massive 496 cubic-inch overhead-valve V-8 engine. Featuring a serpentine belt system, aluminum radiator, dual electric fans, polished dual-plane aluminum intake, Holley carburetor, lightweight aluminum cylinder heads, Hedman ceramic-coated long tube headers, this small block expels gases through a dual exhaust capped off with a set of sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers. That power is routed through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent to a 3.31-geared 12-bolt rear end.
