automobile which was produced by Chevrolet in three generations for
the 1964 through 1978 model years. Part of the General Motors (GM)
A-Body platform, the Chevelle was one of Chevrolet's most
successful nameplates. Body styles include coupes, sedans,
convertibles and station wagons. Super Sport versions were produced
through the 1973 model year, and Lagunas from 1973 through 1976.
After a three-year absence, the El Camino was reintroduced as part
of the new Chevelle lineup. The Chevelle also provided the platform
for the Monte Carlo introduced in 1970. The Malibu, the top of the
line model through 1972, replaced the Chevelle nameplate for the
redesigned, downsized 1978 models. The Chevelle Super Sport, or SS
represented Chevrolet's entry into the muscle car battle. Early
1964 and 1965 Chevelles had a Malibu SS badge on the rear quarter
panel. Chevelles with the mid-1965 Z16 option, priced at US$1,501
in 1965, had the emblem on the front fender as well as distinct
in-house style numbers: 737 for the hardtop and 767 for the
convertible. The $162 Super Sport package was available on the
upscale Malibu two-door hardtop and convertible models; the option
added special exterior brightwork with SS emblems and the 14-inch
full-disc wheel covers from the Impala SS. Inside, the vinyl
bucket-seat interior featured a floor console for models equipped
with the optional Muncie aluminum four-speed-manual or Powerglide
two-speed automatic instead of the standard three-speed manual.
Malibu SS also came with a four-gauge cluster in place of engine
warning lights, and a dash-mounted tachometer was optional. The
available 283-cubic-inch four-barrel V8 engine rated at
220-horsepower was the same rating as the 1957 Chevy Power-Pak 283
engine. Price $31,900
