This 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS was sold new by Dyer Chevrolet in Yates Center, Kansas. It is powered by a 283ci V8 mated to a two-speed Powerglide transmission, and it is finished in Regal Red over red vinyl. Features include 14″ steel wheels with covers, chrome bumpers, drum brakes, front bucket seats, and power-assisted steering. The seller purchased the car in 2017 and has since added approximately 2,500 miles. This Impala SS is now offered at no reserve with a Protect-O-Plate, factory books, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Regal Red, and equipment includes bright trim, quad headlights, and chrome bumpers. The seller notes that the door and window seals are dry rotted save for the vent window seals, which have been replaced.
The 14″ steel wheels with covers are mounted with 205/75 Hankook Optimo H724 tires. The car is equipped with power steering as well as coil-spring suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. The rear shocks were recently replaced, and the idler arm was replaced in 2020. New front shocks are included in the sale.
The cabin is upholstered in red vinyl, and the front bucket seats and rear deck have been reupholstered. Neither the air conditioning nor the radio work.
The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 97k miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added under current ownership.
The car is powered by a 283ci Turbo-Fire V8. Service during current ownership has included replacing the hoses, valve cover gaskets, fuel lines, drive belts, spark plugs, plug wires, and fuel tank.
The car is equipped with a two-speed Powerglide transmission. The pinion seal was replaced in 2020. The trunk floor is rusted and there is rust in the rocker panel behind the right wheel.
