Featured is a fully restored 1966 Chevelle convertible, modified by award winning Miranda Built in Delray Beach
Florida.
This 66 Chevelle has been tastefully built. With its straight, smooth long body panels finished in gloss back, and
its classy “stock” white vinyl interior, this Chevelle turns heads EVERYWHERE!!
While this 66 Chevelle is sitting front row via valet, crowds periodically develop, as I watch from my outside
dining location. People pointing, looking, admiring. My family and I attempt to leave, as a crowd develops,
waiting to hear what sounds erupt from the exhaust. My wife leans in, stating, “I feel like I’m with the
President.” The engine fires, and the motor bumps with the sounds of an oversized CAM. Even the valet
attendants group together and stare. Upon saying a final good bye, a valet attendant states that they see
Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s every day. But, seeing a car like that, is few and far between. This is just one
example of what you can expect in this 66 Chevelle Convertible. I won’t even get into what getting fuel is like
at gas stations.
Some builds are under done, by putting lipstick on a pig. Others are overdone, in whereas there is no resemblance
of what the car is meant to be……a 1966 Chevelle……not a 2017 Chevelle. This 1966 Chevelle has the best of
both worlds. A modern powertrain, with a modern suspension. Allowing you to cruise comfortably down the highway
at 70-75 MPH at 2, 500 RPM……unlike a stock 66 that would be running upwards to 4, 000 RMP at that speed. All,
while keeping to an original build feel with a factory interior and unmodified body.
This 1966 Chevelle Convertible is in need of absolutely nothing. It is, and has been, fully serviced by Miranda
Built.
