VERY RARE 1966 Malibu SS Convertible
Year: 1966
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Malibu SS Convertible
View at: 11 Melville Dr
This is a rare Canadian built Malibu SS convertible that is in the middle of
a frame-off restoration. It has a 396 - 360HP, 4 spd M-20 transmission. All
numbers for this vehicle are either correct or matching to the original
engineering data sheet supplied by GM. This vehicle is virtually rust-free
with many GM original equipment restoration parts that are still in the
boxes and wrappers. I have a letter from George Zapora - GM Canada dated
June 16, 2008 that verifies the SS designation and optional equipment in
this vehicle. I also have a letter from a collector that claims there is
only one other 1966 Malibu SS convertible from this production sequence
still in existence.
The Chevelle SS represented Chevrolet's entry into the muscle car battle.
Early 1964 and 1965 Chevelles had a Malibu SS badge on the rear quarter
panel (the sought-after Z16 option had the emblem on the front fender, where
201 Malibu SS 396s were produced); after 1965, the Malibu SS badging
disappeared except for those sold in Canada. The Chevelle SS, which became a
regular series of its own in 1966 called the SS 396, was the high
performance version and had its own line of engines and performance
equipment. The performance engines available included 396 in³ V8s - rated at
325, 350 and 375 hp (280 kW) respectively (the mid horsepower 396 was rated
at 360 hp (270 kW) for 1966 only and 350 hp (260 kW) thereafter). The SS396
series only lasted three years from 1966 through 1968 before being relegated
to an option status just like air conditioning or a radio.
