SCG & CJG's 1966 396 Chevelle

Bought new on December 7th 1965 from O'Reilly Chevrolet in Tuscon AZ for about $3600. Towed back to the dealership that same night with a bad alternator. Because it was an early one, it was fitted with the 396 solid-lifter Corvette motor. It had continual problems with the AC (you couldn't romp the throttle with the AC on or the compressor would blow) and the newfangled goodyear radials would flat often, and replacements weren't yet on the market. This was traded in on a used 1964 Corvette.
