Amazing what the right set of wheels can do for a carand#44; right? This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle is pretty stockand#44; but with the lowered stance and shiny rolling stockand#44; it takes on a whole new persona that totally gets all the attention. Big block V8 power with a manual gearbox certainly helpsand#44; but only if youre the lucky guy who gets to take it home at night. Classic colors never look wrong on a Chevy of any kindand#44; and the handsome burgundy paint on this one is pretty close to the original Madeira Maroon on the 1967 color chart. These mid-year Chevelles look especially sleek with their longand#44; leanand#44; unadorned bodywork and theres just no way to make them look bad. It was repainted a few years ago and looks awesome for the local cruise nights and heading down the streetand#44; and you certainly wont be ashamed to roll it out front for a full detail job next Saturday. Up closeand#44; there are a few blemishesand#44; as youd expectand#44; but nothing major that detracts from the overall presentation. Its nice to see a stock hood on a vintage Chevelleand#44; and it certainly has the right indicators for performanceand#44; ranging from the SS grille to the crossed-flag emblems on the front fenders that warn potential predators that theres a nasty surprise waiting for them. No stripesand#44; no vinyl roofand#44; no add-onsand#44; just a cleanand#44; sleek Chevelle that looks fast just sitting still. The trim is in good orderand#44; including the bumpers and much of the stainless detail workand#44; so it shines when you pull it out of the garage and the windows have a dark tint that adds a sinister attitude that works rather well. Bucket seatsand#44; a consoleand#44; and a 4-speed all mean this car was built for speed as much as styleand#44; and you know we like our muscle cars with a 4-speed sticking out of the center console like an industrial-strength horsepower lever. Original gauges cover speed and fuel leveland#44; but with a car like thisand#44; you know thats not sufficientand#44; so a set of Moon Eyes auxiliary gauges went under the dash in the usual place and the factory clock still does its thing in the middle of the console. Nice black upholstery looks like it was installed a few years agoand#44; so theres some wear and evidence of useand#44; but a little TLC will fix things right up. The aftermarket AM/FM/cassette radio is offlineand#44; so a more modern replacement there would be a good ideaand#44; but otherwise its ready to cruise. The thumping 454 cubic inch V8 provides enough punch to make this car extremely entertaining on the street. With all the usual goodiesand#44; from an Edelbrock intake and Holley carb to the long-tube headersand#44; it will make you forget about your desire for more power. Its also nicely finishedand#44; with correct Chevy Orange paint and just enough chrome to show off. Power steering is always welcome on a car with a giant chunk of iron over the front axle and front disc brakes are always a good idea on something with this much go power. The underside has been cleaned up and doesnt show any major signs of previous damageand#44; and the dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers certainly knows how to get attention. And as I mentionedand#44; those shiny chrome wheels and fat 215/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear performance radials set it all off perfectly. Clean turn-key Chevelles are getting harder to find all the timeand#44; and if youre looking to just get in and start having funand#44; this one represents a very attractive way to do it.
