Deliveries for the ’66 SS were down by roughly 50%, with Chevrolet selling around 117,000 units as the Chevelle SS396 and the Pontiac GTO ended up stealing some Impala customers.
Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean the ’66 Impala SS wasn’t a looker, and the example we have here is the living proof in this regard. It comes in pretty decent condition that allows for a full restoration should someone decide to give it a second chance.
Before anything, it’s important to know the frame needs major fixes or to be replaced completely, according to the Craigslist seller. The floors also require substantial patches, though very little has been shared in this regard. The photo gallery doesn’t include any further specifics regarding the condition of these parts, so you should reach out to the seller for additional info.

We’re not going to state the obvious and explain how important the Pontiac GTO is for the muscle car history. Instead, we ll stick with something that makes sense for someone who’s in the market looking for a 1967 model. 11 photos
What you’re looking at here is a coupe that’s been in storage for many years. While no specifics have been provided in this regard, what we do know is the car was last registered in 1991. Assuming it was parked a year later, this GTO spent 29 years in storage, but of course, this is just speculation on our side.

Pontiac GTO is the kind of model that doesn’t need any introduction when we’re talking about muscle cars, and it goes without saying it has become a collector’s dream, especially when it comes in original and unmolested condition. 25 photos
If you too are in the market searching for such a gem, eBay seller sotaboyz claims they have it, and all it takes to drive the car back home is to win this no-reserve auction currently taking place online.
There are two things that need to be mentioned from the very beginning: this is an original-everything 1965 Pontiac GTO but the engine doesn’t run.

It was the 1965 Impala, a model that also introduced several styling improvements that were eventually further polished with the release of new versions until the production of the fourth generation was dropped in 1970.
The 1967 Impala is part of this series, coming not only with the said styling touches but also with new safety upgrades supposed to let the car meet the new regulations in the United States. In other words, the Chevy was now equipped with fully collapsible energy-absorbing steering columns, shoulder belts on all models except for convertibles, and side marker lights.
But of course, if you browse the gallery here to check out the Impala we’re highlighting today, none of these details matter, as whoever owned this car before likely didn’t care about the legacy of such an impressive automotive icon.
Chevrolet Impala was one of the most popular cars in the United States in the mid-'60s. The 1966 model built on the popularity of its direct predecessor, which had set a historical record in the country.
