Overview of 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible Restomod For Sale by Owner

To all extents and purposes, Chevrolet's dominance in the North American sports car market and thus its moniker of America's Sports Car is due to the Chevrolet Corvette. But the Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport carried the fight in the muscle car scene. Introduced in 1964, the Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport was an instant hit among younger buyers. The Chevelle SS became synonymous with overpowered muscle cars. A rare chance is at hand with this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible restomod with just 700 miles since the restoration.

The car rides on a set of swanky shuriken-style Forgiato chrome and silver painted wheels with black brake calipers stenciled with white Wilwood script. The interior features an entirely new reupholstering, as reported by the owner, and is finished in black with contrast orange diamond stitching. The aircon has been replaced with a Vintage Air sourced unit. The four-spoke black steering wheel features the crossed flags emblem on the horn, while the horizontally laid speedometer can be seen behind it. The seller reports that an aftermarket radio player with Bluetooth functionality is paired with the Kicker speakers.
