This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible SS Tribute captures the golden era of American muscle, reimagined with tasteful upgrades for modern usability. As a first-generation Chevelle, it retains the classic proportions and charm that made the model an icon, while incorporating enhancements that elevate both performance and comfort. With a clean presentation and mechanical upgrades, this drop-top cruiser is ready to impress both at shows and on the open road.
Exterior and Interior
Finished in a vibrant shade of blue, this convertible is a head-turner from every angle. The contrasting black soft-top adds a sleek visual dynamic whether raised or lowered. Silver mag-style alloy wheels bring a touch of modern flair, while SS Tribute badging and styling cues lend this Chevelle a muscular, performance-focused identity. The body presents well with sharp lines and subtle chrome accents that highlight its era-correct design.
Inside, the cabin is outfitted with black leather seating—individual front buckets and a rear bench—offering both comfort and classic style. The dashboard features updated electronic gauges, providing precise readouts without compromising the retro aesthetic. An aftermarket audio system with Bluetooth capability brings modern convenience, allowing for seamless music streaming. Even the trunk is well-presented, with clean carpeting and a neatly stowed spare.
Engine
Under the hood lies a 396ci V8 engine equipped with FiTech fuel injection, combining old-school displacement with improved cold-start reliability and throttle response. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission, offering an authentic, hands-on driving experience. The suspension has been upgraded with an aftermarket system to enhance ride quality and cornering ability. A recent tune-up, as reported by the current owner, ensures that this Chevelle is not just show-ready—but road-ready as well.
