From AB
Chevrolet has over a hundred years of heritage from which it can call
upon when the right marketing angle presents itself. Like, for
instance, when it launches a brand-new Impala for the 2014 model year,
as it has just done at the 2012 New York Auto Show. As such, the
automaker has brought a mint 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS 427 Convertible
to display alongside its new family sedan.
Regardless, it's always fun to ogle over a classic muscle car, and
this '66 Impala is, perhaps, the very best of its full-size breed. The
427-cubic-inch V8 was factory rated at 390 horsepower and 470
pound-feet of torque plenty more than necessary to turn those
7.5-inch-wide bias-ply tires into plumes of smoke, and the four-speed
manual and 3.55:1 gears mean it's properly equipped for 1960s-style
stoplight showdowns.
