For Sale: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle in Cleveland, Ohio

Real code 138 SS with L34 396/350 horsepower engine and 4-speed. Beautiful restoration. Working factory A/C, power steering, power disc brakes. Nicely documented. A gorgeous Chevelle that does everything well!If you glanced at the trim tag, you already know this car was Granada Gold with a vinyl top when it was new. But when it was restored, it was treated to a bare-metal respray in sinister Tuxedo Black and the vinyl top was removed. The results speak for themselves: this car is simply stunning. You'll also be happy to learn that this one is wearing all its original sheetmetal and that it comes from the warm, dry southern US (built in Atlanta and sold by Roger Dean Cevrolet in West Palm Beach, FL). The quarters are laser-straight and reflections are undistorted, gaps are precise all around, and the doors close easily but firmly, which is due to new hinges and fresh weather seals throughout. The only notable demerits are a few blemishes on the hood that could be easily rectified without a major investment--they're not very noticeable. Nothing else on the car was shaved or modified, so all the factory trim was polished and reinstalled or replaced with correct parts, and while it does wear 'Super Sport' badging, the overall effect is quite subtle. This is the proverbial iron fist in a silk glove.The interior is a fantastic mix of sport and luxury, which is the line that the Chevelle straddles. Bucket seats flanking a console with a built-in clock are all about the sport, especially with that big chrome 4-speed shifter. But for luxury, this car offers working factory A/C, a wood-rimmed wheel, and plenty of sound-deadening, so it feels solid and rides quietly down the road. Fresh carpets, reproduction door panels, a new dash pad, and a new headliner all make it feel like new inside. All the gauges work properly, the wipers wipe, the lights and signals are functional, and even the original AM radio pulls in stations loud and clear. The trunk is neatly outfitted with a correct mat, jack assembly, and a matching Rally wheel with a new radial tire.This predator is nothing but a pretty face if you don't have the horsepower to back it up, and this one delivers. It's a NOM 396 with a CLB suffix code suggesting it came from a slightly newer car. It was rebuilt to L34 specs and runs superbly. It starts easily, idles smoothly, and pulls through the gears with genuine authority. For the most part, it looks correct with a chrome air cleaner up top, along with matching valve covers, and Chevy Orange paint on the block. There's an Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold and a big 4-barrel carb on top, while a set of factory exhaust manifolds handle the exhaust. It's quite happy on pump gas and thanks to a fat torque curve, it's just a joy to drive on the street. Experts will spot that this car has rather rare power front disc brakes, which were on the car when it was new, so at least our original owner knew that stopping was as important as going. The Muncie 4-speed manual transmission includes a new clutch and pressure plate for easy clutch action. Out back there's a bulletproof 12-bolt rear end with 3.08 gears so the car is a relaxed cruiser and that big 396 doesn't mind the tallish gears one bit. The exhaust system is a custom fabricated setup with stainless steel mufflers, used because the restorer preferred the sound (and it does indeed sound pretty nasty), but it stays discreetly tucked out of sight with simple turn downs under the rear bumper. Please take some time to note just how immaculate the floors are and yes, those are original pans, not replacements. Everything under the car was treated to more semi-gloss black paint for a beautiful backdrop to the other hardware and while it shows a few minor signs of use, most could be erased with an afternoon of cleaning. New springs and shocks make it ride right and it sits on correct 14-inch Rally wheels with GR70-14 Firestone redline tires for the perfect stance.Documentation includes the original purchase invoice and some service receipts.Quality matters. There are cheaper Chevelles out there. But in this business you always get what you pay for. If you want one with spectacular bodywork, plenty of power, a handsome interior, and a big investment of cash behind it, this is an excellent example. It holds up under close scrutiny, which is something most muscle cars can't do, and if you're a fan of the Bowtie, you know this is an apex predator from the glory years of performance.
