1967 was a great year for a lot of reasons; At this time 50 years ago the “Summer of Love” was ramping up to become a never before seen cultural movement that would weave music, race, and a different way of thinking into the fabric of America. Our soldiers were fighting a war in Vietnam that had the American people at odds with the government, The Beatles released their Masterpiece; Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, and some of the most iconic Muscle cars were rolling out of the American factories with performance to match their aggressive looks.
The 1967 Chevelle Malibu is a favorite body style of not only Chevy fans, but those who have an eye for classic muscular looks and performance to match, no matter what automotive brand you prefer.
This particular Chevelle has obviously not only been treated well all of it's life as evidenced by it's overall cleanliness and integrity, but this car has been treated to some very well placed performance and durability upgrades.
The engine and transmission for example, were sourced from a 1967 Chevelle SS. The 396/325 hp starts and runs excellent. The Muncie 4 speed shifts nicely with it's new Hurst shift linkage. This Malibu drives nice and tight, brakes well, and doesn't have any unusual squeaks or rattles.
The Mountain Green paint has been on the car for nearly ten years, and although it has a few minor chips here and there, it shows very well, and has a nice deep shine. I see no evidence of any rust bubbling through the paint either. All of the trim looks good, and the chrome bumpers include the bumper guards both front and rear.
All of the lights (including 2 original T-3 headlights) work, the turn signals, the heater, the wipers, and the gauges all function properly.
This Chevelle was originally a white car with a black vinyl top, It had a 283 CID engine with a 2 speed Power-glide automatic transmission. Now, with it's 396 and smooth shifting 4 speed, it not only cruises nicely down the road, and has some nice performance as well. The stark black interior is all business with it's nicely reupholstered seats, new carpet and headliner, nice dash and door panels, and windows that roll up and down easily.
The dual exhaust has a very subtle tone so it wont buzz in your ears while on long drives, and the vintage slotted mags with raised white letter tires look right at home on the Chevelle.
1967...A great year in America...A tumultuous time in our history...And a year of some of the greatest cars ever built!
