I'll start this out. I'm the new semi-proud owner of a 66 Impala SS.
This is one of true little old lady cars. She bought it in 1968 with
20K miles on it and proceeded to put another 40K on it over the next
23 years.
It's got a 283 with a powerslide. Original engine, paint, interior etc.
Buckets with console shifter, all the right emblems, original SS
spinners. Nice interior, floors, trunk. Runs real nice and everything
works. It needs rust repair in the lower right rear quarter and in the
rear bottoms of the front fenders. I'm not an Impala fan, but for the
price I couldn't resist. This is ones of those cars you can sell to
somone and feel good about it.

why oh why couldn't it have had the 396...the price would have been the
same no matter what.

| God, I am envious of you! The 1966 Chevy Impala is probably my
favorite musclecar, make that car, of the '60s. I owned a convertible
from '69 to '78 when, unfortunately, it was stolen. This one was a 250
inline six/powerglide equipped non SS. Still, it was a beautiful car
that I still wish I had and someday will replace. Not an awe inspiring
performer, but very good mileage-wise and still somewhat rare
considering that only 5% of all full-size Chevrolets in 1966 (including
Caprice, Impala, Belair and Biscayne models) were V-8 equipped. If you
ever decide to sell that '66, let me know.
Any other '65 or '66 Impala fans out there?

at present, I have a 1987 Z-24 that I bought new. It now has 113,000
miles and still runs like new. Probably the last Chevy made with the
original musclecar formula of taking a small-engined car and putting a
bigger motor into it that originally, when production started, was not
an available option. The Cavalier was introduced in 1982, with only a
four-banger available. The V-6 appeared in 1986, with the Z-24.
