'66 Chevelle I think is my favorite year! Yours is a beautiful car. Those headers are a work of art as are the rest of the details.
My buddy in high school in the late 80's had a '66 Chevelle with a 396, ported rectangle heads, TH400 and nitrous. It looked mean as hell.. but never really was that fast as he didn't put slicks on it.
