Did '66 360-horse Chevelles come with the open element AC air cleaner or did they have the large diameter/air horn style? Maybe the previous owner bought the chrome AC at the parts counter and it came with that sticker.

That smog equipment must be pretty valuable.

Keep the black plates if they're not too far gone. CA DMV might take them away if you walk in there with them in-hand. Ask around about keeping the black plates on the car before going to DMV. Black plates seem to be the hot item for the California guys.

Nice car with LOTS of potential. GOOD LUCK!

The plates are sweet and keeping them has never been a problem for me.

Here is the engine pad. It is hard to read any numbers in the pics. They are there but vague.

very nice.... My 2 cents here. Have been researching and documenting 66 and 67 Chevelles for over 15 yrs. fairly intensive. Have seen that sticker before, but have concluded that it was/is an aftermarket sticker. Never came from the Factory with that sticker on the air cleaner. I have looked at many orig. unrestored 66 and 67 SS chevelles and have never seen one that had this sticker on it from the factory. Does not mean I am absolutely 100% correct, just what my conclusion is on this subject from my own research. The air cleaner is original, no doubt there.. but the sticker is not IMO.

Seats.. maybe CORVAIR??

You are right, hard to read that Engine deck stamp.. can you tell me what it reads? and can I see pics of the trunk and tail panel please., and more engine shots...

That car was built VERY close to the same time as mine at the Fremont plant.. only a few numbers off.. mine is 12D also, and is a 360HP.

Thank you

? for Mystery

did the 66 have options listed on the trim tag like the 67's? This one doesnt and I was just wondering

Re: I know you guys like barn finds, so.....
 

I have a Friend who has a strip of those odd 396/325HP Cross flag Air cleaner decals.They are still sealed in a protective wrapper,and he still has the receipt.He bought them from an Auto parts store some 30 years ago he tells me.
He also picked up some other odd decals with them.They say,"I'd rather FIGHT,Then Switch!",with the Chevrolet bowtie in the center.These are aftermarket.and were aimed at a cigarette brand asking others to switch brands in the mid 60's..Tareyton I think?
