As a kid in 1967, saw a '66 Chevelle 396 for the first time. We were traveling in a '67 Galaxy 500 and stuck in a long line on a 2 lane Hwy. A 4-speed 396 passed us and many others one at a time. I knew it was a 4-speed because I watched the guy shift from 3rd to 4th as he went by. I still remember my Dad saying, that's what I need. Have wanted one ever since. If I find the right one, it will become reality. Thanks for the video.
Ok now I'm convinced somewhere in back you have a factory producing BADASS MUSCLE CARS! THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO OWN AN AWESOME PIECE OF HISTORY
I believe that the same color as the color of the strips on the 69 Trans Am. Chevy called it Marina Blue and Pontiac called Tyrol Blue. One the most common colors back in the day. Use to have a 66' Impala that color, we called her drive-in discount. It could fit 3 good sized guys in the truck with a few cases of beer with ease for sneaking in the drive-in.
Great video if shift bushings are not worn you probably got synchronizers going out will need the box gone threw but with the low reared gear I’d swap it for a updated 5 or 6 speed trans get full use off all that power make it easier drive on highway.✌🏿😊
Bad ass SS chevelle, my grandpa still has 66 SS when he bought it from the showroom floor it was a dark blue with black interior with the 396 big block he bought it at a dealership locally in Riverside Ca. De anza Chevrolet. But im a new subscriber love all the videos much love from So. Cal Corona Ca.
@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate BBC mark up, that's one of the better reason to consider a Pontiac. Even the boat anchor BBC cars fetch top dollar, I get but it's gotten kind of crazy. In 91' I sold my '70 Nova SS, original 396/350hp car for ~10k, perfect body fresh Hugger orange with black vinyl top 4 spd. That was a fair price back then, a solid lifter BBC in Chevelle or Camaro would go for about twice that.
Back in 1980, my friend and I raced a '66 Chevy Malibu in the "streetstock" (armature) class at our local dirt oval (The Proctor Speedway)! It was a "327" with 3-speed (NEVER got above "second gear", was FUN!) None of the '66 Malibu's were ACTUALLY WORTH over $4,200, though!
The grinding shifting going into 3rd and 4 th gear could be that the shifter linkage needs to be adjusted. I had a 1970 Chevelle SS and I put a Hurst shifter in it and I had a hard time getting it adjusted where the transmission wouldn’t grind but when I finally got it it shifted great and the shift pattern was close and smooth. It looks like the shifter boot is missing in your Chevelle. Your car looks sweet. I had a 1966 Chevelle back in 2009 then I made the mistake of selling it in 2012 I needed a new truck and couldn’t afford one unless I sold my Chevelle. Maybe one day I can get me another hot rod I’ve had about a half a dozen so far in my life and I’ll be 67 years old this April.
Now THIS is a beautiful Chevelle...love this year. Sucks about 3rd and 4th...but I'm no mechanic..maybe an easy fix. Something about the exhaust notes of this car I absolutely love. You've had several with this same rumble...sounds killer. Don't know what set up get these notes but...sounds awesome. Great car Nick. Oh, and the opening music is badass btw.
IMO thats this and the 67 GTO are the best looking of all the square muscle cars look good from any angle. The 66' Chevelle still retains the early 60's grill queues shame they went to a bar speedo. The BBC is more impressive to look but the 400 HO, a RA III without the functional scope is good for low 14's high 13's completely stock and doesn't get the big block or RA mark up. Because the 400 makes it's money with torque, they are more forgiving when launch vs a BBC.
If the horn works you win an AMC Pacer that comes with a guarantee that you won’t ever have to worry about hot beautiful, sexy, women pestering you all the time. Lmao.
What was the Horsepower?? -Standard was 325 HP, or you could order 360 HP. Also their should of been a Tachometer. under the Dash by driver Right Leg . I had a 1966 Chevelle 396 -325 . And I had a Tachometer and all Gauges.

You missed the left brake light not working. Lol, I like that this dealer seems upfront about issues. These are 50+ year old cars, not a 2021 Vette.
Amazing transformation of that “project” Chevelle.
yep the other one just took it's mask off lol

Back in 84 i bought a 67 almost as nice for 2000. Wish i still had that ride.
Love that color. Transmission will probably need overhaul but the horn works! i'm amazed!

Love the honesty of this dealer.
Thank you
I can't stop watching this channel!
Ayy thanks
I watch it everyday. Nothing better than after a long day at work watching beautiful cars. And Nick is a honest dude and seems cool
Sweet! SS CHEVELLE! Drivers brake light is out.. love the car!
This is my favorite chevelle body. My dad's friend had a 67 ss when I was a kid.
My uncle had a 66. The one in the video before this that has no paint, looks very very similar. I asked where it originally came from.
wow a true 66 SS Chevelle , love that 396 sound !!!!!
My first car in 1984 $1,000 dam should have keep it!
We all have a story like that😢

🤣😆😂😅that's blasphemy
Very beautiful perfect looking car beautiful colour amazing look thanks Nick have a very nice day mate
You too , thanks for watching
If you can't find em grind em.
Gonna hold out for the AMC Pacer myself!!!!

Good pep cause of the 4.88 gear!
Drive like a sport, pay like a sport!
Ah Yes! Nothing like a Marina Blue SS-396 66!
Would Love this one day.. Always have

Sounds like the synchros in the transmission 3rd and 4th gear are bad
Just did a ceramic coating on one of these in black...man was it a treat. Beautiful as fuck.
I am looking for 1966 ss their are nice looking car's
Looks like the other one came out of its tail pipe... Lol Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
For almost 43k that horn better work. 😄
Dagg nabbbit ! No t-shirt today. Beautiful 66 you’ve put on the lot. Wish it was a 65
Man that’s a beautiful car
Very clean .. #4 on list
Great looking Chevelle

That's a beauty right there. Power steering or not.
none
42 thousand trans needs to be fixed.
You guys ever get snow down there, Nick? Beautiful Chevelle, btw.
Edit: Looks like someone's scooping up the white Nova already.
She's coming to North Dakota, guy's. 💜
My buddy Frank is redoing same car and color.
If the horn works you win an AMC Pacer that comes with a guarantee that you won’t ever have to worry about hot beautiful, sexy, women pestering you all the time. Lmao.
Check the transmission's fluid. Could be low and hot.
Add some Lucus auto trans fix to that transmission, it may stop that gear grinding :-). Yes it fixes manual trans too.
Ok I'm gonna drive there just to park in the lot if I leave now I should be there by Wednesday.
All day long people pull in, I’m surprised they haven’t for the video yet.
Sweet ass wheels!
It might be a shifter adjustment, I would start there.
Nick i don't think your personal Chevelle can do a burnout!😆
Sorry I'm feisty today!😊✌💛🤘
You only have one break light
Clutch pedal needs adjustment👍
So this is what the other one could look like
That is a badass car if you still have it get ahold of me I'll take it for the right price definitely interested👍
Dude! Your videos are so well done I just waved at someone as you passed them! 😂
Lmao thanks man
Horn works where's my shirt🇺🇸
I would love to buy that car for 40 Grand and needs transmission work and I am serious.👍
When ypu first got in the was a banging. Im wondering if that was the throwout bearing.
👍❤️
sweet car. too bad it needs trans work. $$$$
You have a breaklight light out on the driver side bro.
Left brake light out. LMAO 🤣 STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
Very nice
Do you know which 396 is in the car? 325hp, 350hp, or the crown jewel 375hp?

Is the grear grading you.? Or the transmission? Or cluch.?
Grinds in 3rd and 4th

42000 and no blower fan for heater? Did you hear the knocking until he pushed in the clutch?
you are prolly hearing the clutch not the motor

Same color as my 67ss nova marina blue price includes delivery? Do I win the shirt?
