350-Powered 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible

Description

The fourth‑generation Chevrolet Impala, produced from 1965 to 1970, became one of the model's most successful eras, selling over 4 million units while offering a wide selection of engines and body configurations. Shoppers were drawn to the sleek “Coke bottle” curves that defined its updated styling, and buyers could personalize their cars with an array of luxury and performance‑focused options, exterior colors, interior trims, and various sport packages in addition to choosing from five distinct body styles, including the desirable SS convertible.

This ‘66 SS convertible was acquired in March 2021 by the seller, who notes the car is powered by a replacement 350ci engine reported to have less than 2,000 miles following installation in 2022. Additional work reportedly performed over the last five years included overhauling the brakes, installing rear air shocks, reupholstering the interior, and replacing the soft top, air conditioning components, and wheels.

This 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible is now offered with a spare wheel, factory trim rings and hubcaps, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.
