A real-deal 1966 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport is a wonderful thing. But then when you check out all the upgrades, including the paint, interior, suspension, overdrive transmission, and V8 power, and you start to see all-around great coupe. While a full-size vintage coupe is always a great idea, this one seems to do it better than the rest. The '66 Impalas were part of a new era that made them longer, lower, and sleeker. Plus, the crisp lines... with a "kick up" behind the rear door makes this downright sporty. The red paint seems to capture this attitude nicely by offering a higher degree of gloss and shine with the modern application. Plus, you have the best in brightwork with pieces like the wraparound bumpers and full-width grille. You're looking at a real-deal code-68 Super Sport, so even the fender badging is correct. But the shine you're probably looking at most are the modern US Mags alloys. They are staggered 17/18 inches front/rear to give an added aggressive stance that's perfect for this red SS. The moment you open the door, you can instantly tell this is an upgrade over factory. After all, they never made high-back bucket seats that could hug your body like the ones here do. These have great-looking cloth inserts, and the rear seats were upgraded to match. There are even provisions for air conditioning if you want to keep everyone comfortable in this full-size hardtop. But while there's plenty of room to carry family and friends, you also know that the driver is always the most important. That's why there are nice upgrades like the sports steering wheel and B&M floor shifter. The 350 cubic-inch small block is the right upgrade for this Impala SS. It has performance enhancements like a four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. It's a strong motor, and it even has the right supporting components, like an HEI ignition and aluminum radiator. This Impala was built to be a cruiser, and so they upgraded it in terrific ways. This includes new front end components within the last year, front disc brakes, power steering, and new tires. There's even a four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive. So this is the hardtop that's easy to enjoy near or far. This is a distinct package with the upgrades you want, so don't let this Impala SS slip away, call today!
