Default 1966 Chevelle SS Vintage Road Test

Car Craft enlisted the Prowler (Ford only) car club to evaluate the performance and road test a 66 Chevelle SS. This was certainly unique and unbiased exercise .

The article details how the car is equipped L34, m21, 373 ratio, A/C and smog. There is also a reference to a l78 chevelle with tall gears, tires and tuning running 12's.Back in the day road tests are quite insightful.
