Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Coupe
Like the Tri-Five Chevys that came before it, the Chevelle is one
of those cars GM aced right out of the gate and continued to
perfect. Eventually, the marque became one of the strongest brands
in automotive history; and at one point, with a full list of body
styles, options, trim grades, color combinations, and engines which
ranged from mild to outrageous, literally embodied the 'custom
built' nature that defines the muscle car era.
For consignment, a nice looking and good performing Chevrolet
Chevelle from 1967. With an original 283ci grocery getter V8, and
2-speed automatic Powerglide transmission, this was a great second
car for mom to take the kids to after school activities or do some
running around for herself and the family during the day.
Exterior
Burnt Cinnamon covers this car on the paint front and is a nicely
done paint job. All is covered nicely on these body panels which
are minding their gaps nicely. Well preserved chrome and trim very
shiny and mirror-like is noted on the bumpers, and lower trim belt,
which is nicely aligned on the doors. The deep flying buttress B
pillars frame the trunk and the rear window which is surrounded by
good brite-work. On the rear of this car are corner wrap-around
taillights that have a cinnamon speckle painted panel connecting
the two sides running directly below the trunk. Cragar 15 inch
slots wheels are on all 4 corners.
Interior
A long black split bench glides between pristine black horizontal
ribbed door panels and is in very nice condition . The rear bench
follows suit with no stains or rips. An original GM inverted V
style dash is up front and has the speedometer, fuel gauge and
clock inserted in an area with wood applique above, and black metal
below. A few aftermarket gauges in the form of a trio to drivers
right all within a wood applique panel. Black carpet is in clean
and nice condition, and the headliner is just nice and tight. An
original steering wheel also in black with chromed ribs, fronts
this original dash.
Drivetrain
A 283ci V8 is within a nicely restored and clean engine bay.
Complete with orange Chevrolet block and heads, and red painted
Chevrolet badged valve covers and some black and red tubing
throughout, we are looking just dandy on the engine front. On top
below the black single snout air cleaner housing is a factory
2-barrel carburetor. A Powerglide 2-speed automatic is on the back
of this engine, and it throws power back to a 10-bolt rear with
3.08 gears.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust to note, and unfortunately the body hangers on
this car are severely damaged with invasive rust. Please see the
photos for reference. In the floor pans we note cracked
undercoating and surface rust at the seams. Drum brakes are on all
4 corners. The suspension consists of independent coil springs on
the front and a 4 link with coil springs on the rear.
Drive-Ability
This car started quickly and ran nicely. All functions worked well,
and it has smooth acceleration and handling. The interior had
plenty of room and was definitely comfortable. It would be a great
cruiser on a long drive.
An earlier restoration, but paint remains shiny and deep,
mechanicals are solid, and interior is very nicely preserved.
Definitely worth a look, and a really great year for the iconic
grocery getter optioned Chevelle.
