This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle is a study in contrasts. The subtle color combination doesnt scream performance car like youd expectand#44; but it certainly moves like one. There are SS396 badgesand#44; but the performance actually comes from a very potent small block that makes just as much horsepower yet weighs hundreds of pounds less. Its also loaded with options like factory A/Cand#44; making it a car you can easily drive every day. In shortand#44; this is a car that defies categorization. Woe be unto the guy who unwittingly tangles with this Chevelle on the street. Sureand#44; its easy to underestimate it with that gorgeousand#44; albeit unusualand#44; Grenada Gold paint joband#44; but that isand#44; indeedand#44; this cars original color. Its very nicely restoredand#44; with great sheetmetal that really shows off the glowing gold paint to great effect. The clean looks of the 67 make it a favorite among Chevy fans and aside from a few badgesand#44; this one looks pretty much the way it did rolling out of the showroom in 1967. Good gapsand#44; a brilliant shine thanks to two-stage urethane paintand#44; and that stock hood with chrome inserts make for a very impressive package. Given that this one was born a Malibuand#44; its unlikely that it led a hard life being hammered up and down a track. They did add SS badgesand#44; including 396 emblemsand#44; and while thats a little puzzlingand#44; its actually a great ruse because this car will run with any big block Chevelle youre likely to run into. The Medium Gold interior is also the cars original upholstery colorand#44; and once you see it in personand#44; youll realize its exactly the right choice. Fresh seat covers on the bucketsand#44; new door panelsand#44; reproduction carpetsand#44; and a taut headliner give it a very clean appearance and itll be easy to show it off at local cruise nights. Youll note that the guys who swapped it over to SS-spec did a heck of a thorough joband#44; and included an SS steering wheel plus a center console with clock and a correct shifter which controls the recently added 4-speed automatic underneath. A correct tach w/ blinker light was tucked into the corner of the dashboardand#44; along with a set of mechanical oil pressure and temperature gauges underneath. Factory A/C is a welcome upgrade and it blows cold thanks to an R134a refrigerant upgrade. Theres also a new custom mounted Sony radio head unit mounted under the dash and a nicely finished trunk with full-sized spare tire. This car was originally born a Malibuand#44; so small block power is probably how it came from the factory. The over-achieving 350 cubic inch V8 makes great power thanks to a Weiand intake and a Holley 4-barrel carband#44; and with less weight to haul aroundand#44; performance is still quite impressive. The engine bay is very neatly finished with Chevy Orange paint on the engine itselfand#44; as well as lots of chrome dress-up. Combined with the lighter weightand#44; tubular A-armsand#44; Hotchkis sway bars and front disc brakes make this Chevelle a tidy handlerand#44; too. Ceramic-coated long-tube headers feed a Flowmaster dual exhaust system and correct Rally wheels keep it looking stockand#44; yet the fat 235/70/15 BFG radials give it a hi-po look. Documented with an original warranty cardand#44; this neat Chevelle packs a big punch without the needless weightand#44; and looks awesome while doing it.
