Having been a devoted '71 & '72 Chevelle freak since high school, I've always wanted to branch out to either a '66 or '67 model someday. I came across a Craigslist ad last week for a '66 Chevelle Malibu located in VT and the price was right, plus it's in my favorite condition: IN NEED OF TOTAL RESTORATION!

So, I've got a lot to learn about '66 models as I dive into yet another project car. The spare ZZ502 and TH400 now have a home! Here's a picture:

sweet! :thumbsup:

Wish I could remember the 60s ,heard it was fun.:D

Great starting point! :thumbsup:
I'm jealous!!!:D

sweet, I can't wait to see pix of it when you start the resto

Very nice Gregg.Looks like a real solid start.Good luck and enjoy it!

congrats on your project.

Congrats! My son's and I plan to do a 66 - 67. My '71 will always be my favorite but I've always liked the lines of these as well.

Congrats! Looks like a good start.

Good starting point. What the crap is all that white stuff around your trailer!:D

nice....you will like doing the 66 so much better than the 70ish....my first car was a '69....now I have a '67....everything is so much more simple...no printed circuits, vacuum operated heat/air doors/valves, door buzzers, ect.....have fun !!

Thats a good start body doesnt look too bad and its an SS, I'm lookin for one of those but it must be done and no clones good luck

Looks great Gregg, give you something to mess that new shop up with!

Looks really solid, good luck with it..

Floors, rockers, doors & trunk are all solid. Previous owners did some panel replacement. I believe the rear window opening, LR quarter panel and the LF fender are the only problem areas. It's not a 138 car...But, Malibu or Super Sport are not an issue anyway due to my wild plans for this one! Look for a very large CID BBC sporting a roots-style supercharger strapped to a built TH400. That's the plan (or dream) at the moment.... :)
