Description

This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS L78 is the kind of car that defines the golden era of American muscle. Finished in beautiful Roman Red with a Black bucket seat interior, it delivers the exact look enthusiasts hope to see when they picture a real-deal big-block Super Sport. The stance, color combination, and overall presence make it instantly recognizable and highly desirable.

Under the hood sits the heart of the legend a matching numbers 396 cubic inch / 375 horsepower L78 big block V8. This high-performance solid-lifter engine was one of the most powerful factory offerings of its time, built for serious street and strip performance. Backing that up is a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, giving the driver full control and the kind of raw, mechanical connection that made muscle cars famous. Power is sent to the pavement through the original 3.73 rear end, the perfect ratio for strong acceleration and classic big-block punch.

This Chevelle is not just a showpiece it’s a great running and driving car that performs the way a true L78 should. The sound, throttle response, and overall driving feel are exactly what you expect from a high-compression, high-horsepower Chevrolet muscle machine. It is also equipped with power front disc brakes, providing improved stopping power and confidence behind the wheel.

Inside, the black bucket seat interior maintains the authentic Super Sport look and feel, putting you right back in the mid-1960s performance era. A tachometer keeps you in tune with the big block’s power band, while a new dash freshens up the interior presentation. A new radio is currently on order, offering improved sound while keeping the driving experience enjoyable. An original-style spare is also included, adding to the car’s correct and complete appearance.

The car will also be riding on brand new 15-inch BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires (on order), giving it the right period-correct stance along with modern road manners and reliability.
