Clone vs. Real 66 SS Convertible?

Rich1966 · Jun 9, 2012

Hello Everyone, I am new to Team Chevelle but not to Chevelles. I am torn on this and need some advise. I am in the market for a 66 SS Convertible. I owned this very make back in the late 80's. It was black with black int. white top and 4 speed. Non original 396 but a true SuperSport car otherwise. I sold the car in 1990.

Fast forward 22 years later and I am ready for another. I know where there is a triple black 66 SS convertible CLONE. 4 speed w/posi and bucket seats. Condition is about 3.5 to 4 out of 5.

Now the question, what is a realistic price to pay? I know the real deal numbers matching cars are $50k to $70k + so thats out of reach.

Next are the true SS cars with NOM's and trans between $25k and $40k depending on condition.

This car is in the $30k to $35k range. Is that too much and should I hold out and keep searching for a real SS in this price range?

I am looking for some honest feedback.

Thanks,

Rich

Jim,

Thanks for the reply, I do have pictures but I do not know if the owner would object with me posting them. It is a real nice car from what I can see. I am going to inspect it and give it a through and extensive look over but even if its perfect does it warrent that kind of price?

I will see about posting a pic.

Thanks!

Rich

The clone must be real nice for that price and is all about build quality. Could you post a link or provide pictures and more information of the car in question. I'm sure experts will chime in if provided more information. Good luck in your search, as it is a good time to be buying.
