THE STORY
Launched at the height of Chevrolet?s dominance in the full-size market, the 1966 Impala captured the brand?s blend of style and V8 performance. Positioned as Chevy?s upscale full-size offering, it featured clean modern lines, a refined interior, and a presence that made it one of the era?s most recognisable American cars.
Engine choices ranged from the reliable 250ci inline-six to a selection of strong small-block V8s (most notably the 283 and 327) as well as the torque-rich 396ci Turbo-Jet big-block. Paired with either a manual gearbox or Chevrolet?s smooth Powerglide and Turbo-Hydramatic automatics, the Impala delivered relaxed cruising and confident acceleration.
Optional heavy-duty suspension components added capability without sacrificing the comfortable ride Chevy was known for.
With over?800,000 Impalas?built for 1966, it became one of the best-selling single-year models in Chevrolet?s history. Today, the ?66 Impala stands as an instantly recognisable and
enduring classic.
THE CAR
Finished in its original eye-catching Artesian Turquoise paint with a matching cloth interior, this authentic survivor car is in amazing condition for its age.
Believed to be an original miles vehicle, the car comes with its original ?1966 Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan? book with some service stamps in 1966 and 1967. This book also contains the original ?Protect-O-Plate? which shows the car was delivered on 25th February 1966 to a Loren Cromwell who resided in Lodi, California. The dealer was Loewen Auto Co ? also based in Lodi.
This vehicle comes with its original dealer invoice, which shows it was optioned with the following (amongst other items):
- Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission
- 325 HP V8 Turbojet engine
- Power steering
- Tinted glass
- 4 season air conditioning
- Vacuum power brakes
- Push button radio (still working)
Under current ownership, the car has been treated to new front end suspension work, new shock absorbers all round and a disc brake front end. A second set of keys comes with the vehicle as well.
Under the hood she packs a very strong 396ci Turbo-Jet big-block engine, and power is put to the road via a smooth column-shift automatic transmission.
The brakes are firm and responsive, and coupled with power steering, this Impala is a joy to cruise in.
Distinctive, with a tough stance and plenty of power - this 1966 Chevrolet Impala is a standout classic.
