496-Powered 1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

This 1966 Chevrolet Impala convertible was modified before being acquired by the current owner in 2021, including the installation of a 496ci V8, four-wheel disc brakes, American Racing 17″ wheels, and Hotchkis Performance sway bars and rear trailing arms. The car is finished in turquoise over two-tone green vinyl upholstery, and it is equipped with a three-speed automatic transmission, a 12-bolt rear end, MSD ignition, Hooker headers, a black soft top, and a retro-style head unit. This Impala convertible is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a car cover and a clean Florida title.

The car was finished from the factory in Tropic Turquoise (L) and features a power-operated black soft top and exhaust outlets that exit behind each rear wheel.

American Racing 17” wheels are mounted with Hankook Ventus HRII tires. The car is equipped with power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Hotchkis sway bars and rear trailing arms have been added along with a panhard rod.

The cabin features bench seats trimmed in two-tone green vinyl with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. A retro-style digital media receiver is mounted in the factory location, and lap belts are fitted for all occupants.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a sweeping 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges, while a trio of supplementary gauges are mounted below the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 23k miles, approximately 200 of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 496ci V8 was installed under prior ownership, and the seller states that the engine features a mild camshaft, a Holley Demon carburetor, a Dart aluminum intake manifold, Chevrolet Performance cylinder heads, and Hooker exhaust headers. An MSD ignition system has been installed along with a Moroso oil pan, braided stainless-steel fuel and coolant lines, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric puller fans.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt differential. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery.
