'66 Chevelle SS396/4-sp Convertible

[scuncio]

Nice car with next to no information provided (and nothing I could find elsewhere on the internet).

Cool colors and you have to love the bench seat 4-speed shifter....

----Just a question for those of us that know bench seat 66 SS's. Is that shifter handle correct?....Bill S

Yes I do Tony! and a factory a/c convert too!

Looks like a decent car for an eBay offering, but totally stingy with info and pix. Unless they're now growing cactus (background) in O'Fallon IL I suspect a flip/dealer?

Repop shifter handle Bill, looks to sit a bit high like it's mounted on a Hurst shifter using an adaptor. I've attached a repo and original for comparison, original on the right.
'67 seat belt retractors too.

The eBay Auction is likely a scam, car sold on BAT 03/21 but VIN different final digit.
Real VIN 138676B133773, NCRS report + TT + altered Engine stamp + more pics, click here…

I've been to O'Fallon IL a number of times and have never seen any cactus growing there. I believe the Streetside Classics dealership network has a facility there....probably not coincidental.

As above, this appears to be a scam but eBay listing live w/ active bidding + ends tomorrow.
I don’t have an active eBay account but if someone else here can Report this auction + pass on the BAT link where pictures etc likely stolen from, it may save an innocent buyer from “winning” thus losing whatever payment or deposit they may forward?
Scammer bastards!

I just reported it. See what happens.

[Billohio]

I did yesterday

[Billohio]

I just looked and it seems to be gone. I put a link to the BAT auction with my report

[69biscayne]

So did I. Probably takes multiple complaints to get some action.

Thanks fellas, auction indeed gone now w/ just hours to spare so must've been a scam for sure.
Of course, all bidders would be better off here but whoever the eventual “winner” almost was needs to grab some thankful stars/join up with this group.:smile:
:beers:
