Chevrolet Chevelle 383 CID V8 1966
General description :
ow for sale in our Houston Showroom is a very clean 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 300. This Chevelle 300 is finished in its original shade of Artesian Turquoise, done in a PPG base coat/clear coat process. It also sports a new interior, done in its original Medium Fawn trim color, using original materials. To improve occupant safety, new three point seat belts have been added. The restoration of the car was completed in 2013, and during the resto process, a new Classic Air A/C system was added, complete with stock controls used to actuate the system; along with new bumpers, door seals, window seals, and trunk seal. The floor was insulated, and the firewall was given double insulation. However basic the above sounds, this Chevelle is not to be trifled with, even though it looks like a nicely restored grocery getter, it drivetrain will get anyone's attention. With less than 1500 miles on the drivetrain, the engine and transmission are barely getting broken in. Starting with a far-from original 383 CID V8 010 Nickel block, this stroker has some premium internals: Eagle crank and rods, SpeedPro 10:1 flat-top pistons (reciprocating assembly has been balanced and clearanced), Dart Iron Eagle Platinum heads with 200cc runners and 70cc chambers, a 223/233 hydraulic cam on a 112 degree lobe centerline (sporting .485/.507 lift), full roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, a tuned QuadraJet carb (tuned by S&S Carburetor Services), a Milodon high-volume aluminum water pump, full serpentine belt system, and big aluminum radiator keeping temps in the green, this powerplant produces plenty of power to make those grocery runs in no time. Backed by a 700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive by Rutland Transmission, a 2500RPM stall converter, a 3.55:1 rear axle ratio, this baby gets the power to the ground with gusto. To keep the rear axle in check, it also has fully-boxed lower control arms. To bring the grocery run to a halt quickly, it has a front disc brake conversion installed. A Jeep Grand Cherokee power steering helps keep the steering both quick and manageable. Both front and rear anti-sway bars have been installed, along with some McGaughey's 2" front drop spindles, which improve both its handling and add some aggressiveness to its stance. Speaking of aggressive, it has a full 2 1/4" exhaust and turbo mufflers; which, once you mash the loud pedal, provide that muscle car sound you'd expect from its 383. Completing the sleeper look are some color matched steel wheels with polished "dog dish" hub caps, wrapped in like-new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Come snap this sleeper up before it's gone! Options on this radio-delete 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 include Air Conditioning, Cloth Interior, Power Steering, Radial Tires, and Seat Belts.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
