From the 1966 Chevelle brochure: "Every good-looking line suggests agility" -- SS 396 Coupe and Convertible have a popular size with a look of action. Gleaming molding on wheel openings, sills, rear quarter panels, grille and windshield outline, the low sporting profile. Simulated hood air scoops, red-stripe tires and SS396 identification really characterize Super Sport 396. A new roof line with dramatically recessed rear window tops off the SS 396 Coupe with a black or new beige vinyl top if you so specify.
Consider your brand of derring-do. Select from two engines: standard is the 325-hp Turbo -Jet 396 V8; a 360-hp Turbo-Jet V8 awaits your say so. Special fully synchronized 3-Speed transmission with sporty floor mounted shift lever is standard. You can order 4 speed, floor mounted shift lever or automatic Power glide."
Ertl's American Muscle engineers and craftsmen have put in time under the hoods and in the interiors of some of the most notable vehicles of all time in order to offer these replicas with the level of authentic detailing to which competitors must take a back seat! Nearly 200 parts go into each limited edition diecast car.
