1966 wasn’t necessarily the best year for the Impala SS, as its sales nearly collapsed, with unofficial figures indicating Chevrolet shipped only approximately 117,000 units - down some 50 percent from 1965.
And yet, this doesn’t necessarily mean the ’66 Impala SS is a car that can go unnoticed. The revised grille and the new rectangular taillights won a lot of hearts, and so did the new seats and the center console, which was now available with redesigned gauges.
The Impala SS you’re looking at here is a living example of the 1966 model year, though as you can easily tell by simply browsing the photos, it needs someone to bring it back to the road as soon as possible.
And it’s all because the car has been sleeping for over 23 years, with the owner explaining the Impala was parked in a barn back in 1997 and hasn’t moved a single inch since then. What’s more, its interior has been dismantled, so now it’s someone else’s job to get it back together and bring the Impala in tip-top shape.
Just as expected, since it’s a car that’s been sitting for so long, it comes with the typical Wisconsin rust; the body, trunk, and floor pans all need to be taken care of after the purchase.
The good news is the 327 4-barrel engine is still there, and it’s paired with an automatic transmission, with the owner claiming this is “believed” to be the original drivetrain. Unfortunately, no other specifics have been shared, and the mileage of the car is currently unknown.
All SS emblems and the hubcaps are on the car, but the interior is the one that’ll require quite a lot of work, mainly because the seats look completely ruined.
On the other hand, this Impala can be yours at a rather honest price, as it’s listed on Craigslist at $3,500. Some trades are also accepted, the owner says.
