My very first car in 1975 was a Chevelle like that only a hard top with a 396 four speed Muncie transmission 3/4 Crane cam with Hooker headers and a Holey 750 double pumper carburetor bought it for $500. Was a great cruiser on Main Street, running from red light to red light against other souped up cars . I wish I had kept it. That’s a nice Chevelle. 50 K ❤❤❤
It’s heartbreaking to see beautiful cars with little problems like wipers, horn, heater/blower or gauges not working. Such effort put into the body and engine, never ignore the little things. The horn relay for my Monte Carlo was less than 70$.
For those not versed in muscle car pricing, Hagerty has the average '66 SS396 convert in #3 condition (pretty much like this car) at $51750 (including 15% premium for 4 speed). Maple Motors' price is not out-of-line at all.
@@BaronVonSchneider I have never seen Nick incorrectly identify a 'specialty' car and I was one of his earliest subscribers. If you go to their web site they always have pictures of VIN tags. This car's VIN begins with 138xxxxxxxxxx. The 38 identifies it as a real deal SS396.

@ you’re right, I guess I was mixed up about the hood ornament as compared to the 67. With a ‘66 Skylark GS there is a hood ornament delete compared to the regular Skylark and clones almost always have the hood ornament still intact Perhaps I was expecting it to be a clone as so many of the Maple Motors cars are. Oops !
@@nailhed6628 Yeah they do get a lot of clones but Nick never (at least I have never seen him) misrepresents a car. I've been to their lot and they are very friendly people. If I am ever again in the market for another collector car they'd definitely be a store I look at.

This is my favorite year car..But I prefer a hardtop rather than a convertible..I had 69 SS 396 many years ago and missed the wing windows tremendously,and I wasnt a fan of having the ignition switch in the column..I prefer the wing windows like the 66 chevelle, which looks more sporty in my opinion.
All the compliners about the price aren't buying any cars. I remember when you could have bought a car like that for $1200. But I was making $115 a week then too. We pay to relive the past.
The minute you fix the small things on this ride & top the price of this vehicle just went up some cleaning underneath and boom you got a 50 grand or better ride . Check out the other sites and check the price they want way more plus done some repairs themselves and didn't replace everything. Nice ride Nick oh yeah the gears may be to close that'll make that happen too or just change the gears. Nice price Maple motors.
The price is more than I would want to spend on a decent classic car. However the price does reflect the rarity and present condition of this convertible, obviously without the random aftermarket modifications made by the local mullet haired mechanic back in 1974 in his mom's back yard. This is the kind of car professional mechanics and top level gear heads want: an all original platform. Frankly, I'm glad the price complainers ain't buying it. All they'd do is fk it up anyway.

Beautiful car, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
When I was 17 I worked at an Exxon station & my dad signed for me to buy a brand new 66 Chevelle SS 396-325 HP. It was under 3500 dollars.
My grandmother bought this SS new in 1966, but hers was a green hardtop.
Sweet BBC with a 4-speed. It's going to sell quickly

Does Maple Motors own stock in American Racing wheels??? Seems like these are the only wheels allowed to run in Tennessee?

Good car, but no power steering or brakes
I'd prefer a small block.

Take a 2017 Roush Stage 3 convertible in on trade?
NO 😉👋🏽
For that much money I would rather buy a new car with a warranty, no mechanical problem no scuffs, better on gas and air bags.....
No one cares

If you are worried about gas mileage, and airbags you are watching the wrong channel
New cars are for wear and tear beating on. Classics like this are for summer, cruising, special occasions.
