Currently listed for sale on AutoHunter is this 1966 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport convertible. As Chevy’s full-size buckets-and-console model, the SS was available with several engines, from a six-cylinder to several versions of the small-block and big-block. Luckily for you, this vehicle is powered by the big-block 396 backed by a four-speed automatic, giving the ability for high-speed cruising befitting the Super Sport moniker. Other features include factory air conditioning, a power driver seat, power windows, 18-inch aftermarket mags, and more. Painted black with black top over a black interior, this Bow Tie ragtop comes from the selling dealer with a clear title.
Originally painted Cameo Beige with a Beige top, this big boy now presents itself with a black body and black top. Other features include front- and rear-view mirrors, an Impala SS badge on the grille, and 18-inch black and chrome Raceline wheels wrapped in 255/45 Nitto NT555 radials.
The black bucket-seat interior was originally Fawn. Interestingly, the driver-side bucket is power-adjustable—a factory item, as evidenced by the data plate. Other features include a center console housing an automatic shifter, air conditioning and power windows (both also supported by the data plate), a Raceline steering wheel, and an aftermarket retro-look AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo.
Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, with a fuel gauge and clock flanking it. Mounted on the console are gauges for the oil pressure, coolant temperature, manifold pressure, and battery. The odometer shows 91,460 miles, though the title reads mileage-exempt.
The rebuilt Turbo-Jet 396 was originally rated at 325 horsepower, but chances are it has more today, thanks to a Comp Cams flat-tappet camshaft and roller rockers, and a FiTech programmable fuel injection system. The original TH400 automatic has been replaced by a 700R4 automatic with four forward speeds.
The undercarriage features a two-inch drop-spindle suspension, rear air bags, Baer power four-wheel disc brakes, and an Eaton Detroit Truetrac limited-slip differential with 3.42 gears. Cerakoted exhaust manifolds with MagnaFlow mufflers feature electric cut-outs.
Big Chevys never seem to go out of style, and the 1966 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport convertible is among the most loved. Add the big-block and the trio of options (air conditioning, power windows, and power driver’s seat) and you have a very unusual Bow Tie drop-top. Is it any wonder it’s our AutoHunter Spotlight for today? You have several days before the auction ends, but why dillydally? Put in your bid before Friday, February 13, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. (MST) – then bite your nails in anticipation!
