Real SS, #s match 396, factory 4-speed, original metal!

1966 Chevrolet Impala SS 396

This is a genuine Super Sport designated right in the vin #. It has it's original #s matching big block 396 motor. It's a factory 4-speed car too.
EXTERIOR: Exceptionally straight, clean original body. They are long panels on this car and looking down each side it is straight. The panels fit real square and flush too. Completely repainted. It has a very glossy finish. I'm standing 4 feet from the car and it looks perfect. Sure when I get up close I can find some nicks touched up. It is smooth all along the bottom, no bubbles. No vinyl top. The chrome and trim on the car is a combination of replaced and good original. Bumpers were rechromed. Bowtie mirrors, stainless moldings and emblems were replaced. The grill, bumper guards and door handles are good original. The chrome strip down the middle of the hood does he have some pitting. The moldings down the sides look original but overall straight and shiny. The lenses look real good. Jambs are painted glossy, weatherstrips were replaced. The rubber around the vent windows is cracking. It has 15 inch rally wheels with new trim and spinners on the center caps.
INTERIOR: It has factory bucket seats with a center console for a 4-speed. Seats have been reupholstered and the door panels have been replaced. The carpet has been replaced. I'm sitting in the car, the dash area in front of me is good original. Not beat up or broken, just typical age. It has a factory tachometer in the dash and gauge cluster under the dash. The 4-speed on the floor is the correct one with the chrome ball and reverse lockout. It has a modern stereo and 6x9 speakers in the rear deck.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Vin # matching 396-325 hp motor. The codes, casting and dates line up too. It has a performance rebuild. Runs perfect. Has a great sounding idle, very clean response with no coughing. It has a performance cam, performance valvetrain, aluminum high rise Edelbrock intake, a big chrome plated dual feed Holley carb with electric choke, HEI ignition system and long tube ceramic coated headers. The valve covers look like their stock but they're taller. That tells me there's probably some custom valvetrain underneath them. It has a new power brake conversion. The booster is cadmium plated, it's a CPP master cylinder. It also features power steering. There is a polished aluminum overflow bottle off the radiator, a custom made fan shroud and an aluminum water pump. Overall the motor compartment is very presentable, I wouldn't say show quality. It is very proper and orderly.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Rock solid original metal. I looked up in the quarters with a flashlight, they are original. There's no cuts or splices. The mat, weatherstrip and jack decal has been replaced. It does he have a jack and spare. Bottom of the trunk lid is smooth and glossy.
UNDERSIDE: Bottom of the motor is clean, has high torque starter. The Muncie 4-speed looks fresh. Has original 12 bolt rear end with 3.36 gears and a chrome cover. The front end was rebuilt- new bushings and balljoints. New shocks in back. It has a Flowmaster exhaust system. Brakes were redone. Upgraded to disc in front. The e-brake assembly looks complete. The metal looks dry and solid. Floors, inner rockers, braces look good.
I think this car is kind of a big deal. It's a genuine Super Sport, numbers match big block with a factory 4-speed. I get these cars and usually they're straight Impalas or 327s. This is a clean southern car. Overall not perfect but very good with an excellent original body!
