1966 Chevrolet

Description

You don't need a torque-rich V8 or big body drop-top to enjoy the classic car hobby. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II proves that can still enjoy what the hobby has to offer, without taking out a second mortgage. With a trusty inline 6 under the hood, this little Chevy is affordable and efficient.

Finished in Ermine White, it's a fitting color for the compact sedan. Most of the paint remains original and well-preserved, with just the trunk lid being re-sprayed sometime during its life. It's been a garage kept piece, and the sheet metal shows with straight lines, devoid of any serious dents or dings. Chrome bits all around are a nice touch of class to the white surface and are complemented with chrome wired wheel covers. T3 headlights are housed in the stainless headlight bezels and confirm the level of authenticity this car brings. It's an honest look that doesn't claim to be anything it isn't with fake badges or bright stripes, but it's still a timeless classic that will receive complements.

Inside is more originality, with the all original light blue interior. Amenities are basic with an AM radio, heat and defrost. But there is a convenient waste bin and tissue dispenser that is a reminder of the unique features automakers provided customers in the day. The bench seats show very little wear and almost appear showroom fresh. Elegant door panels wear appropriate hardware with classy patterns, while body width floor mats preserve the original carpet up front and in the rear.

Power comes from a 194 cubic inch Hi-Thrift inline 6 motor that runs smooth, and is just as efficient as this car is affordable. It's good for 120 horsepower, and while you may not be lining up in your local drag strip's staging lanes any time soon, you'll certainly be proud to lift the hood to show off the clean engine bay. The glossy orange motor creates an excellent contrast against the black fenders and firewall, and it's so clean it looks like it's fresh off the assembly line. A 2-speed automatic transmission ensures the little 6 cylinder will get you up to speed just fine, and it appears that basic wear items such as the rear shocks have recently been replaced. The undercarriage is also well-preserved with a single outlet exhaust expending fumes. And power steering makes driving this classic a pleasure.

As the saying goes, "It's only original once" and finding well-preserved classics is a hard feat these days. Especially one of this age. Don't miss your chance to pick up an original classic at a bargain price. It'll bring years of enjoyment for you and your loved ones. Call today!
