Very cool 1966 Chevelle Barn Find Convertible
I stopped to ask about a 1968 Mustang sitting beside a farm storage barn and ended up with this instead. Parked since the 1970's after a hiccup with the front end. Nose was taken off and it sat ever since. Original 6cyl, automatic Malibu with rubber floor mats (?), power windows, power steering, and power top. 100% rust free. I've never owned a Chevrolet this rust free in my life. Just wanted to share the cool find photos and a unique car.

Re: Very cool 1966 Chevelle Barn Find Convertible
Yes someone added the buckets (they look like full size Olds) and the 1966-67 Impala console.
I've always wanted a 1967 Chevelle convertible but I guess this will have to do for now. I have to get my Nova out of project car purgatory to get this one inside.

Re: Very cool 1966 Chevelle Barn Find Convertible
----The rubber floor at sort of confuses me. Was it always there? That and power windows and six-in-row make it almost a statistical impossibility.........Bill S

Re: Very cool 1966 Chevelle Barn Find Convertible
Sound like who ever order it was a life long ragtop cruiser .
Power top and windows for quick easy top down fun . Rubber mat because they knew it would get wet .( Carpet just holds water ) Nice Find !

I heard that sofa is 1 of 1 with that color combo. A real true survivor! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img]
