For sale is a 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS 427 convertible. This was the first year for the 427. It is a rare original
car with original build sheet, currently has 28, 417 miles. The car was stored since 1980 until I bought it in 2007,
with 21, 810 miles on it.
The car was stored in a garage for 27 years when I put it back on the road. It has not been restored. I did not
have any paint work or chroming done. Just lots of cleaning and polishing. I wanted to present the car the way it
was. The top was replaced about 2 years ago.
To get it back on the road the following was done: New gas tank and sending unit, new stainless fuel and brake
lines. The entire brake system was done, car still has 4 wheel drum non-power brakes. Radiator was sent out to be
flushed and cleaned, belts, hoses, water pump, fuel pump where replaced. Rebuilt carb and tuned it up. Before
engine was started, cylinders were oiled, engine was tuned by hand and oil pump was primed, not just gas and a
battery. New exhaust with turbo mufflers. The entire front end was rebuilt after about 1000 miles, which included
ball joints, control arm bushings, inner/outer tie rod ends, etc. The car has been PA inspected every year and
currently is. Have put nearly 7, 000 miles on it with no issues.
The car is a nice for car cruises, but not a show car. It is is very solid, including frame and floors. It does
have a few rust spots, one at bottom of each quarter panel and the other is inside the trunk lid. Please see the
pictures I have included. The under side is very solid, but in driver condition. The car looks to have been
repainted at some point in time prior to 1980. The paint still shows well, but does have some dings, crazing, etc.
It is a factory black car. The interior is completely original and in very nice condition.
The options include SS package, power windows and top, gauge package, factory four speaker stereo with center
console controls, automatic, 4 way flashers, and the 390 hp 427. See attached picture of build sheet. Please
contact me for any additional photos or info. Thanks for looking.
