A parking lot is a parking lot is a parking lot—unless it’s the Summit Racing parking lot. On any given day or time, the lot outside a Summit Racing store can turn into an impromptu mini car show, depending on who’s stopped by the store. Each Wednesday, we’ll share our parking lot find of the week—another benefit of being Powered by Summit Racing Equipment.
Chevrolet entered the muscle car market with the introduction of its Chevelle (Malibu) SS in 1964. The first-generation Chevelle started out with 283 small block, but Chevy soon broke its own cubic inch limitations and offered the Chevelle SS with a 396-cubic-inch big block.
And the muscle car wars quickly escalated.
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Ford, Mercury, Plymouth, Dodge, and others would spend the next several years one-upping each other until the gas crisis killed their (and our) fun. Featuring a potent 396 Turbo-Jet engine and an aggressive Pro Street feel, this 1966 Chevelle Super Sport takes us back to that first generation of Chevelles when the muscle car rivalries were just beginning. It also serves as one-last reminder to vote in our Muscle Car Match-Up tournament to help determine the #1 muscle car.
Wrong grill for a true ss396, was this a maibu with ss trim and hood? Only the vin and owner knows for sure.Still a great looking ride!
CAMARO = FANTASTIC-…. TOP OF THE LINE -…..
What memories this brings back to my high school daze when I had my 1st ride, a 1965 Malibu SS. Most of my school mates had either a Chevelle or Mustang. And yes, there were Ford & Chevy wars of whose the baddest. Nice Chevelle no matter how 1 looks at it whether correct grill or not.
