Orig Black on White '66 Impala SS, 427/425hp, Docs

[Fast67VelleN2O]

Tachometer equipped cars did not get a vacuum gauge. Tach cars received a clock where the vacuum gauge normally is in the console gauges. The dash top clock would be incorrect for this.

I noticed that as well. L72 console cars got the clock. There's a few other little things I noticed as well. I wish the pics were bigger so I could see more detail. The one thing that sticks out is the air cleaner service decal is incorrect and in the wrong place. The radiator is missing the finger guard, shouldn't have chrome valve covers, AM radio cars typically got the rear antenna (not sure if you could spec front with AM, FM was always front). In general minor things. Nice looking car. I agree about the rallys, needs N96. And yes, tailpipes are a little too long.

My old '66 Impala had an AM radio with front antenna. This was a basic Impala sport coupe.

Gauges have been added. Rear antenna was 100% optional. My 68 is the same way as was my 65.

Actually Matt, The clock is correct. The gauges have been added. On a non gauge car (which this is according to the paperwork), the tach would take the place of the standard dash mounted clock, so the clock was moved to the top of the dash as a clock was standard equipment on an Impala model in 66.
