Here is my 66 real deal Super Sport. I bought this car about 15 yrs ago and stored it until restoration time 8yrs ago. The car was made in Fremont California and was ordered with several options that most Super Sports do not have. During the restoration we determined that it was originally equipped with a black vinyl top and automatic. The change to a 4spd was done exceptionally well, with correct tunnel support, pedals, linkage, clips etc. Other changes that were observed was a left rear quarter panel and drivers door replacement on the body, again done with professional results even down to the spot welds. It appears that it was hit early on in its life as the car has zero rust with super sano floors and trunk . I also believe it to be have very low miles on it due to the condition of the A-Arm bushings, body mounts and other items that were removed for restoration. I purchased the car with its original A/C equipment, door panels, seats and carpet which I retained for date coding and authenticity. It did not have an engine at purchase, so a 1966 Impala 396 complete engine, carb to pan with matching date codes for production was purchased and completely rebuilt. The purchaser will get all the original items removed. I also have pictures as purchased and during the restoration. The car has A/C,PS,PB, PW,factory bumper guards not replated, factory air shocks original Delco, Headrest seats, and console. The car has been stored in a heated/A/C garage since restoration with break in miles only. Where ever paint markings could be seen they were replicated. It has new: * exhaust * full polygraphite A-arm bushings, sway bar, etc. * new springs, shocks, universal joints, body mounts, * the car retains its original factory brake lines, gas lines and clips did not restored or replaced. * Engine, trans, clutch, rear gears 3:70 posi all new or rebuilt to exacting specifications * All new Sofseal weatherstrips * New carpet, door panels, headliner, seat covers with original unrestored headrests, headliner with original sunvisors. * Replated front and rear bumpers, bumper guards are original, hood scoop chrome is original *Complete new brakes, including cylinders, lining, springs, clips etc. The car has been stored for several years, yet has been street driven during its rest with engine and drivetrain to full operating temps on a regular basis. The engine has excellent oil pressure, the heads have hardened seats, starts and drives excellent with stock power brakes. I did notice the power windows are a little slow from sitting, radio is not hooked up, has small stereo radio in glove box.Paint was done to replicate factory new in base clear coat so it is not over restored. Vehicle is for sale locally, so I retain the right to remove this listing at anytime. Questions?? Let me know. Thanks for your bid. On May-10-13 at 07:01:21 PDT, seller added the following information: I've had lots of questions regarding this car. The car was restored not as a show car, but one that I would enjoy driving. It is not by any means a 100 pt show car but it certainly looks great and retains many of its original parts such as windows. Do they have some minor scratches being 47yr old, yes they do. Is every item in this car showroom... no they are not. If they are the original part and presentable, I used them. The title is not and never was a salvage title, it is a clean Ohio title in my name since 2003 and I purchased the car many years before that and it was in storage. Other items that you should know...clock has stopped working...A/C works but needs a charge. If you have any qualms about bidding on this car, please do not bid. This car will not be available for pickup until after the 22nd of May.
