Allright here we go, first, has anyone ever seen back-up light deletes on a 66, I ask this question cause many years ago, close to 30, I purchase a 66 Malibu for a beater for my father, for the huge sum of 150 bucks, the car when I bought it had a 67 front end, which the previous owner got lucky because it was the same Marina blue as the 66. anyway this car was loaded, p/s, p/b, posi, power windows, factory tach and gauges,tint glass, buckets seats, console, bumper guards, etc. etc. but the one unusal thing was it had red lenses where the back-up lights were suppose to be, which looked alot better(in my opinion) which is why I replace them with white ones when I sold it, for a whopping 450 I believe. They were for sure GM factory pieces, and I have never seen another car so equiped, and in my life I have had at least 125 Chevelles pass thru my hands, (been a Chevelle parts dealer for 31 years now), So anybody seen another set????? Also, while going thru some old paper work, I found an owner card for the 66 SS396 Chevelle I order special, and bought, when I was 18, was wondering if it was still out here, thought I saw it at a Super Chevy show At Maple Grove Raceway in Pa, but never found the owner, It was a stripper, only options were 396-360HP, 370 posi Ran B/S and C/s, which was mainly the reason I bought it, for a whole 2700 bucks, had friends in the dealership, listed for 3400 I belived. Anyhow that's the story, and I sticking to it. Thanks for your time Dave Wiggins P.S. Just for the record, still have two Chevelles, in the stable 64 Tudor wagon custom, bought in 1970 from original owner, and 67 El Camino,bought in 69, second owner,42K original miles, and paint,........Later

Hello David. It would probably be better to post your question in the Bench Racing section. More people will see it.

If you ever sell that el camino, put an ad on here.
