Heavy Metal: Big-Block 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Sport Coupe 4-Speed

Model year 1967 is a Chevelle muscle car favorite as it’s the final and sportiest looking version of the body style launched in 1964. The Chevelle was Chevy’s do-it-all mid-sizer, which you could get in grandma six-cylinder form, or with a wide variety of V8 engines and body style choices, including a 4-door sedan, two different 2-door coupes, a station wagon, or El Camino ute. The SS equipment and appearance option could also be had with a variety of powertrains and several body styles, as well. They’re nice to drive, can be spec’d economical or full-on gas-sucking muscle car, and straightforward to work on and restore with considerable aftermarket parts support. Besides their intrinsic value as a collectible machine, there’s always a ready market for mid-sized, mid-‘60s Chevy muscle.

This one has a lot to recommend it, as well as a few things to consider and compare to your personal taste. It presents as a genuine “138 code” SS, wears SS396 badges, and sports a quite proper looking 396ci Big-Block V8 engine (with a little extra bling) under hood, while the 4-speed manual trans is also a plus. The overall theme is slightly resto-mod with a generally stock vibe – the non-original silver/green paint looks sharp enough, as does the commonly optioned black vinyl top. The engine has been mildly hopped up with Hooker headers, 3-inch exhaust and Flowmaster style mufflers, plus an MSD ignition. The owner states that the factory clock and tach work, and that aftermarket tubular control arms and disc brakes have been added/converted up front, plus the car suffers no rust or rot – that undercarriage is a sight to behold!
