1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396: American Muscle Defined
In the golden era of American muscle cars, certain combinations
stood apart as the perfect fusion of style, performance, and
attainability. The 1967 Chevelle SS exemplified this ideal,
offering serious performance credentials wrapped in crisp, timeless
styling. While it may have been "every man's muscle car" when new,
today these machines - especially genuine SS396 models - represent
something far more significant to collectors and enthusiasts
alike.
This particular 1967 Chevelle SS showcases exactly why these cars
remain so desirable. Powered by its potent 396/350 HP big-block V8,
identified by distinctive crossed-flag Turbo-Jet fender emblems and
its aggressive dual-bulge hood, this SS delivers the authentic
muscle car experience that defined an era.
EXTERIOR
Finished in striking Bolero Red, this Chevelle's crisp body lines
create an unmistakably muscular presence. The hardtop body style
perfectly captures the design aesthetic of the period, with clean
proportions enhanced by proper SS identification. "Super Sport"
scripts grace each rear quarter panel, while prominent SS396
badging leaves no doubt about what lies beneath the hood. The
attention to detail extends to the trunk compartment, which has
been properly restored and houses the correct spare tire and jack
assembly. Riding on 15-inch Rally wheels wrapped in modern BF
Goodrich redline tires, this Chevelle maintains its period-correct
stance while offering improved handling characteristics.
MECHANICALS
Under the twin-bulge hood resides the heart of this beast - a 396
cubic inch big-block V8 producing 350 horsepower. The engine
compartment showcases proper attention to detail, featuring the
correct orange engine paint, OE-style black plug wires, and factory
cast-iron exhaust manifolds. A 4-barrel carburetor sits beneath the
chrome air cleaner top, which matches the valve covers and displays
the proper Turbo-Jet identification decal. A large radiator with
shroud ensures adequate cooling, while the dual exhaust system
provides both the proper appearance and soundtrack.
Power flows through a robust Turbo 400 3-speed automatic
transmission to a heavy-duty 12-bolt rear differential. The chassis
benefits from a rear sway bar for enhanced handling, along with
power brakes for confident stopping power. The detailed
undercarriage demonstrates the level of care this Chevelle has
received.
INTERIOR
Inside, the red interior perfectly complements the exterior finish,
creating a cohesive performance-oriented environment. Front bucket
seats provide proper support, while the center console houses both
a T-handle shifter and an integrated electric clock. The driver
faces a three-spoke sport steering wheel complete with its SS
center cap, while the dashboard features the classic ribbed chrome
glovebox door and appropriate bright trim. A Bowtie-logo AM/FM
stereo cassette player provides period-appropriate
entertainment.
