I have to be honest. I am a Mopar guy, but my cousin, back in 1966 bought a brand new '66 396, 375, 4spd. Kind of what I call a seafoam green. He came over to the house, I was 14...took me out for about a half hour. He hooked me on American muscle with this car, still a Mopar guy, but have a special place in my heart for the 1966 Chevelle 396/375.
Love this model Chevelle with a 4 in the floor. Happy Birthday man. I remember 29 even though that was 30 years ago lol. Oh by the way, use a thin layer of white lithium grease on the clutch spring and don't use WD40 on it.
This, is a beautiful car! The 66 is one of the most sought after Chevelles of them all. There were several scale model companies back in the mid 70's that had different versions and colors of these cars and they would be sold out at the 5 and 10(dime) store everytime I went there to get one. Finally I did get one... it was red with chrome wheels.... I was a happy 10 year old boy.... man the memories these cars seem to bring out of our aged momories. You wont have this one long Nick is all I can say. Nice 66 Chevelle, nice motor under the hood, nice color and minimal fixing up. Beautiful!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! My ol man has a 66ss in his garage. He got the body and paint done 11yrs ago and hasn't moved it since, idk why he's so weird about it. Guessing I'll inherit it just the way it sits now.
Big 292 wow!!! Is it the complete car, finished and drivable or does it need engine and stuff yet? It would take a hell of a man to have The willpower to let one of these sit in a garage for 11 years without taking her out on every sunny day!!! I don’t have that willpower. I believe they should be driven every chance you can and not babied.
@@1982MCI yeah, it's got a tired 454 and a 4spd Munchie just payed in it. A weekend of wrenching I'd say it would be drive ready by Monday. Who knows what it needs now that it's sat tho, brakes, lines, tires, exedra.
I had a 68 & 69 w/383 stroker. ALWAYS wanted the 66 & 67 to make the set complete. Then I discovered reality. I'm not at all rich. Plus the 69 cost me thousands in speeding tickets, suspensions, reinstatements, house arrests, etc. Wouldn't trade those memories for a clean record, I'm still smiling almost 2 decades later. You're only young once, don't piss it away being old. Trust me, there's plenty of time for that later in life. SIDEWAYS IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE! Otherwise, what's the point?
Enjoyed the presentation on the car. The part shown while waiting for wife, really displayed your true character. Remarkable Gentleman and values. You are the type to trust in business. At 17, I bought a 1968 SS 396 325hp 3sp on the floor. Loved that car and 8 track player. 😁 By the time you reach my age, you can tell the youth that you have driven thousands of muscle of the 60'and later, and that my friend is true bragging rights.
Appreciate the time you took making this video and not hiding some of its flaws. I don't recall seeing under the hood or in the trunk area. Some close ups of the dash would have been nice too... maybe for the next one.
Happy birthday bro. This is a really great old hot rod for the money. Body, paint interior look very nice for a 50+ year old car. I would change the steering wheel out to a wood grain to look retro correct. One word for this one, SWEET ! Note, high clutch pedal is for quicker shifting. We used to do that for racing, many years ago.
This car reminds me of the one my Buddy had when we were in High School. Its only missing the speaker wires on the passenger floorboard running to the back. My buddy ended up in a tangle with some older guy that was chasing and shooting at him with a revolver. When they went through a intersection the road at high speed acted like a ramp. When they landed my buddies foot mashed the throttle and his tires spun putting him into a tree at about 50 miles per hour. My buddy and his girlfriend both were banged up pretty badly but survived. Never heard from the shooter again.
Sweet 66 Chevelle. I'm doing a restoration and hotrod conversion to my Grandma's 66 Chevelle 2 door post. Dropped in a .040" over 427 Rat and switched from automatic to Muncie 4 speed. Adding disc brakes and power booster soon and swapping tired front springs out for correct big block coils. Sounds wicked buy brakes are too weak to test it out right now.
Nick, you seem to have the cream of the crop when it comes to these classic cars. This is a beautiful Chevelle. I miss driving a stick shift. Also, Nick, you look like a schoolboy again without your beard.
I want it!!! What's your best offer?!?!? I'm coming to buy it. Thank you!!! Shoot I thought this was a brand new video!!! Ok, I'm sure it's sold by now. 😔😕☹️😣 I wish TH-cam wouldn't air these after they've been sold!!!! You have the best job ever!!!!!
Love this car. Takes me back to a time in my life when my uncle had the same car. Happy birthday!!! I took my original post down where I was saying since it was your birthday how about lowering the price. Was just joking. But there was one guy that seemed to get upset and call me a cheapskate? He evidently didn't understand the concept of a joke. Keep the videos coming. I love what you guys are doing. As for the person that wanted to take it all the wrong way.... that's your issue!! Talking to you don pilfered!!!
Yeah people of all kinds on here, I’ve learned they will say anything cause there is no consequences behind a keyboard. Nobody would say that in person and they never do. I see some pretty harsh comments on here from the keyboard warriors. I just know they prolly don’t have any $$ or sense and get off on making people mad. I seen your comment and knew you was joking. No hard feelings and thank you for watching
Maple Motors Muscle Cars Nick Southgate I'm by your lot about every two weeks and usually stop in on sundays. It's amazing at some of the cars you have. Just brings back memory's from my teen years... and again thank you for what you guys are doing!!! I'm hoping at some point I can find one out back that I can buy.
Nothing wrong with a 66 Chevelle with a 454 4 speed, can't got wrong with that combo. I think the 66 is one of the nicest classiest Chevelle's that GM ever built.
Damn. I would've bought this in a NY second... nice car for the money, despite needing a few things (which is why it was priced the way it was). Great video, as always. 👏👏👏👏
Dude I gotta tell ya, you got the best job in the world. I live down here in decatur alabama and I've been watching your vids for some time now....KOOL. OH YEAH HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Nick had an unfair advantage getting such a pretty wife , " hun if you marry me i'll pick you up in a different cool ass muscle car ever day " what do you say 🤷♂️ ? ☞ I do 👩 :) 😉
Your vidios are Great,i would like to see a 67 malibu,Keep up the Good work PS:your prices are good and you seem like a Honest car salesman(for real)HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Yall got everything! But yall missing the old sqare body chevys late 70s thru 80s don't know if yall pick them up or not but definitely would sell them quick especially the 4x4
🏆I don't know how I missed all these chevelles🐶 freaking sweet machines🍀✌️
🥳4 years late but Happy Birthday 🤘

I had a '66 when I graduated High School ! 396/375 with 4 speed, Marina Blue ! Wish I still had it !
I had a beat up 350 '74 Nova in high school, lol
I know what you mean, I bought a 1970 ss 396 in 1973 at the age of 16, I wish I still had it , it was a special car and time in my life
@@reducecotwo p
You sir had a rare car,one of only 3,099 produced
On the horn check the 20 amp accessory fuse. They used to blow. It also affects cigarette lighter.
This was my high school car and wish I still had it ,really like this one.
Can only dream how much fun that was. Fantastic car.
Happy birthday NICK 😎🇺🇸🦅👍🏻when you hit 40 that’s when you see and feel the differences 😎
My cousin had one that he raced at kendalville Indiana and won many trophies,I was 8 years old,time flies,Happy Birthday.
It's amazing in itself to have a car lot with just beautiful old schools, REAL Cars!😀
There’s nothing like the sound of a healthy big block. The color is perfect, and the rally wheels are as well.
That is one classy Chevelle. Beautiful color and nice tune to the exhaust. Gotta love those M-21 4 speeds.
Swapped my Muncie shifter for a Hurst competition. Night and day
Swords to Plowshares
A beautiful 66 haul da mail Chevelle
Love this model Chevelle with a 4 in the floor. Happy Birthday man. I remember 29 even though that was 30 years ago lol. Oh by the way, use a thin layer of white lithium grease on the clutch spring and don't use WD40 on it.

I have a 66 300 deluxe with a 400 small block can’t wait till I drive it
Dude, I love these videos. It feels like a couple of buddies driving around in some cool ass old cars

WD-40 is actually a degreaser. What you actually need, for door hinges as well, is lithium grease.
Yea, I use WD 40 or blaster to clean it, then lithium grease.
@@mustangpassurchevy that's the whole job done then......no need to go there again for a long time...
I live in England
and love all your muscle cars,
Nice car, This car has everything going for it, couple odds and ends need tlc. Good price! Would like to see it bang through the gears, dumped down.
I’m really glad you didn’t try to pass this off as an SS. That’s good honesty guys! When I can you got my business

You opened the door for her, class act! Awesome car!
Happy birthday, love all the cars, especially the Camaros.
Thanks guys! Love those test drives tho. That 66 chevelle is a gear heads dream. Take care. Happy Bithday!
Another cool car channel that's actually selling cars. Good job.

I did the same build on my 427 Chevelle but if it's a cruiser, I would go with the TKO 600 5 speed tyranny.
Happy happy birthday honey!! Sorry I kept you waiting so long 😂
Lol all good babe
Hi Mrs Nick, since you kept Nick waiting so long on his birthday, you should buy him this Car lol
nvths50 I’m sure he would agree with you lol

Subscribed! I can't afford a muscle car 😌 but I love them. Like your videos and rides. Happy birthday!
Awesome car. It's a good thing maple motors isn't anywhere near me or my wife would be pissed!
Nick, you seem to have the cream of the crop when it comes to these classic cars. This is a beautiful Chevelle. I miss driving a stick shift. Also, Nick, you look like a schoolboy again without your beard.

One of my all time favorite cars. I need to come buy one
Beautiful car I love stic with this Big block 454
Man this is a nice machine
First!!! One of my favourite gens of the chevelle, especially the 454 and 4-speed
Nothing wrong with a 66 Chevelle with a 454 4 speed, can't got wrong with that combo. I think the 66 is one of the nicest classiest Chevelle's that GM ever built.
Happy birthday Nick! Beautiful car!
The correct big block for '66 was the 396 though. The 454 wasn't available until '70.
Damn. I would've bought this in a NY second... nice car for the money, despite needing a few things (which is why it was priced the way it was). Great video, as always. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you
My favorite shade of blue! Really nice car!
Happy birthday Nick 🎂
Love your channel man. I hope it keeps growing. These cars are amazing
Thank you
Sounds like a Muncie 4spd. With that gear whine. Beautiful sound either way. 😍
Perhaps this beauty may have the infamous Muncie M-22 “Rock Crusher” transmission judging by the sounds we hear on this great video Nick made!!
I prefer the Muncie m21
Happy Birthday Nick, even though you’re working I hope you have a great day because you’re driving an amazing American muscle car
