1967 Chevrolet Chevelle

Since its debut in 1964, the Chevelle has established itself as one of the era’s most attractive and desirable muscle cars. And its reputation reached new heights in 1966, when Chevrolet introduced a fresh redesign and elevated the formidable SS 396 from an option package to a standalone model.

For 1967, subtle styling updates enhanced the Chevelle’s curvaceous lines. A revised grille with horizontal bars, matching trim across the rear panel, and recessed taillights gave the car a more refined appearance. The SS 396 projected an aggressive image, featuring simulated hood scoops, blacked-out grille and rear-panel trim, and prominent SS 396 and Super Sport badging that warned of the 325- to 375-horsepower big-block engine beneath the hood.

This SS 396 convertible has been in the same family for 57 years. It was purchased by the seller’s grandfather for her father in 1969, when he returned from Vietnam. After her father passed in 2018, the seller refinished it in its original Tahoe Turquoise color and refreshed the interior.

Aside from replacing the driver-side quarter panel it retains its original sheet metal, and the original "ED" code engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension were gone over to ensure that it was roadworthy. A new convertible top was installed, and minor modifications include an HEI ignition, a chrome alternator, an aluminum radiator, a set of 15” aftermarket wheels and tires, and modern headlights.
