The Walk-Around & Drive-By

The judges at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) are some of the most knowledgeable in the car collecting hobby. So, when this 1966 Chevelle SS won one of their coveted Concours Gold awards, with its crystal trophy, that was truly an achievement. The Chevelle was painstakingly restored to its factory condition, from the correct Tropic Turquoise (code LL) paint to the Medium and Dark Fawn bucket seat interior (code 712). The 138 in the Chevelle’s VIN indicates it is a true factory Super Sport, while the 17 that follows those digits signifies the two-door sport coupe body style.

The 1966 model is a favorite among Chevelle collectors. The body was completely restyled with a sharp-edged look that better represented its performance capabilities. The top leading edge of the grille surround thrust forward below a pointed hood, making the car look like it would knife through the air. The Sport Coupe C-pillars featured sail panels that gave the rear roofline an almost fastback style, adding to the car’s aerodynamic look.
