LaFontaine Classic Cars is proud to present this beautifully
restored and tastefully upgraded 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396
Sport Coupe, a true American muscle icon blending factory heritage
with modern performance enhancements.
This Chevelle is refinished in a striking Red over black interior,
giving the car a bold and aggressive presence while retaining its
authentic ""138"" SS identity. The body features an SS hood and
badging, faux hood vents, quad headlights, chrome bumpers, dual
side mirrors, electric windshield wipers, quarter vent windows, and
bright exterior trim. It rides on chrome-finished 15-inch Rally
wheels wrapped in 225/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, maintaining a
classic muscle stance.
Power now comes from a 454ci V8, rebuilt and installed in 2024. The
engine is equipped with an aluminum intake manifold, a Brawler
four-barrel carburetor, an MSD distributor, chrome valve covers,
coated exhaust headers, and an aluminum radiator with an electric
fuel pump. The headers feed into a dual exhaust system with
Flowmaster mufflers, delivering the unmistakable deep big-block
tone enthusiasts expect.
Backing the 454 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, sourced
from American Powertrain and installed in 2024 along with a
hydraulic clutch conversion. The transmission is paired with a
custom aluminum driveshaft and a stout 12-bolt rear end with 3.55:1
gears, offering excellent acceleration while remaining
highway-friendly.
The interior remains true to its roots with black vinyl bench
seating (Trim 761-A) while benefiting from modern upgrades for
comfort and drivability. A Dakota Digital instrument cluster
replaces the factory gauges and includes a 120-mph speedometer,
dual digital displays, and readouts for fuel level, battery
voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. Additional
auxiliary gauges for voltage, water temperature, and oil pressure
are mounted below the dash. The digital odometer currently
indicates approximately 14,000 miles. Comfort is enhanced with
Vintage Air climate control, and entertainment is handled by an
aftermarket cassette stereo system connected to a graphic equalizer
and Jensen speakers.
The car is equipped with power steering and power-assisted front
disc brakes with rear drum brakes, providing confident drivability
to match its upgraded powertrain.
