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.

Exterior and Interior

The owner reports that the present black paint is the original and has a layer of paint protection, while the rest of the car features anti-rust spray. The convertible soft top of this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle restomod is reportedly new and finished in black. Moving to the front, we can see that the restomod has added halo ring lights to the front headlights, while the hood features black vents with chrome grilles. Chrome is added to the front grille, headlight bezels, and front bumper. The rear sports the pointed corners typical of 60's Chevelles, and the taillights have been replaced with custom LED units. More chrome can be seen around the boot lid, rear bumper, and tailpipes. 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.

Engine

Powering this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible restomod is the highly sought-after Turbo Jet 396cu 6.5L Big-Block V8, which the seller reports having come originally with the car. The seller says that the engine is completely rebuilt, along with the automatic transmission. New camshafts and headers have been added. Aiding the car stopping power is a complete disc brake system from Wilwood.

1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Convertible

Current Ask
$95,000

The 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Convertible is the kind of car that distills the classic American muscle era down to its essentials: big-block power, rear-wheel drive, bold SS styling, and the ability to drop the top and enjoy all of it in the open air. Finished in Cranberry Red over Black, this example has the visual drama to match its mechanical character, with black hood stripes, 15-inch 5-spoke SS wheels, and chrome bumpers giving it the right period stance. Underneath, the 396ci big-block V8 is backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic and a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing, a combination that gives this Chevelle the kind of low-end punch and cruising character enthusiasts associate with Chevrolet’s muscle-car heyday. Power steering, power front disc brakes, and Vintage Air climate control add usability without dulling the experience, making this a car that can be enjoyed for more than just short weekend drives.

The 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Sport Coupe helped establish the formula that would soon define the American muscle-car era, and this example carries that character with a period-style 327ci V8, four-speed manual, and PosiTraction rear end. Showing approximately 86,570 miles, it is finished in black over a Medium Aqua vinyl interior and combines the clean lines of the first-year Chevelle SS with several tasteful performance upgrades.

Few cars capture late-1980s American performance quite like a C4 Corvette.

This 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible shows 56,274 miles and combines its 5.7-liter L98 V8 with a 4-speed automatic transmission and the desirable Z52 Sport Handling Package. Dark Red Metallic paint, a Saddle convertible top and matching Saddle leather cabin give it a quintessential period color combination, while a rear luggage rack adds another classic grand-touring touch.

Current Ask
$22,499

The 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.

The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.
