    The stripes make it look like a Pontiuck SS!
    My 66 GS's has gotten countless 'nice Chevelle' comments over the years. Didn't bother me, It's still meant as a compliment.

    The vert looks like a decent car. Did it have AC originally? There's another firewall opening above where the heater box should be.
    I'm working on a 66 GS 3 speed vert, originally the same Cream color.

    What are you plans for your cars? Doing any mods? The 66 responds nicely to easy upgrade such as disk brakes, fat swaybars and fast steering boxes.

    Those 340's run forever. Only issue is the exhaust manifolds can crack.

    Hi the vert had ac gone when I got it the fire wall was like that when I got it car looks ok but it's really a beater has sway bars disc brakes. The plate on the front describes it I like that butternut creme color green car the hardtop redoing the interior new carpet re upholstered the seats and painting it same color Shadow torquioss and probably gonna flip it got it fairly cheap and like to have money laying around in case a good deal pops up nice chatting and good luck with your car aswell
