1966 Skylark Gran Sport
« on: March 10, 2018, 02:10:40 PM »
My brother is in the process of unearthing a 66 GS from its long term storage. I will have to look it over good when he gets it home in a few weeks. It also comes with a 66 Impala SS.

Looks to be in pretty nice shape.  And it has a Quadrajet carb?  Was that standard in '66?

Wow, always good to see another GS come out of hiding. Especially a 66!
The Q-jet was avail on the '66 Skylark GS as part of the optional 340 hp 401 package that became available in Feb-March 1966.
This car has a January build date so it's too early to have that package.
Jim is your brother buying it?
And that Impala.... one of my best friends started a club for the 65-66 full size Chevys. Club is still going strong after a few decades.
Mark is a fan of those as well.

Hope to see more pics of that 66 in the coming weeks!

. . . . I dunno' about this one . . . .  I've heard: "So do ya' fries with that?" but I've never heard: "So do ya' want a 66 Impala SS with that?" . . . . . . 

Cheers, Edouard . . .  :occasion14:

. . . . That Sir!  Is a matter of opinion!! . . . . .

Just in case there are any doubts . . . . . and of course in the voice that preeminent loud-mouth Foghorn Leghorn . . . .

"That's a joke son - gag that is!"

When it comes to classic cars pics I'm not very picky, but Chevy is most definitely not my first choice.  Although it always beats Ford! . . .  :laughing7:

The GS is now at my brothers place an is running. Appears to only have 33,000 miles on it. I need to go look at it as soon as I can get over there. Has Qjet on it with original parts in the trunk. Brother says no rust. Tilt wheel seems to be one of the few options.
