Good things come to those who wait....and do their homework. Sounds like a rare find. Unrestored numbers matching is hard to find nowadays. Congratulations. rick

Wanting a Chevelle since I was 16 (now 37) - my Dad, a hot rodder himself, probably saved my life by not letting get one back then. However, thanks to a lot of good advice and doing my homework my dream came true - I picked up a '66 SS numbers matching this past weekend from Wisconsin. The guy I bought it from was very honest and knowledgeable on Chevelles - having owed and restored 3 over the last 20 years. I spent 2 hours going through the car checking rear gear ratio(3.73), Posi (CU), all engine casting (EF), stamped dates, VIN and cowl tag information as well as body, frame, elec .......etc. Everything matches! My plans are to restore this in several years - and just enjoy the little extra hot rod set up on it until then. I am sure I'll have questions along the way. Thanks Rocky Hill for the off line advice. My 4 year old twins want to skip dinner so they can go for a " Chevelle Ride" tonight. Any one in the West / Northwest suburbs of Chicago on this list?
