To start with, let me first say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However, for the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money, I feel that there is never too much information. As to myself, I am not a dealer, just a (65) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, I recently retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and had worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,130) transactions. To start with, let me first say that I understand that there is a lot of information/photos/video in my ad.

Although it existed a mere 13 years before it morphed officially into the Malibu, Chevrolet’s Chevelle remains a beloved muscle car. Introduced in 1964, the mid-sized car was produced to compete with the Ford Fairlane. The Chevelle SS was the carmaker’s high performance version of the Chevelle. Featuring its own line of performance products and engines, the Chevelle SS boasted the most powerfully rated engine of all the muscle cars. The 1967 Chevelle changed very little from the previous year, but had a new reworked bumper and a new blackout tail panel. Among other changes, it did come with better drivability because of more aggressive tires, front disc brakes, and 14” wheels. A new three-speed automatic joined the ranks of available transmissions. A new model was introduced, the Concours, which was merely a prestige wagon with wood grain sides. The 300 and 300 Deluxe remained relatively unchanged in their bare-bone offerings. The Deluxe did offer different interior color and more expressive trim. Both offered a 2- and 4-door sedan, while the Deluxe had the added option of a 4-door wagon. The Malibu continued its reign as the leading seller of the Chevelle, and would continue to do so throughout the Chevelle’s life, because it boasted the highest number of model options with the 4-door sport sedan, 2-door sport coupe, convertible, 4-door sedan, and 2-seat station wagon. The Concours was just an upgraded form of the Malibu wagon that most visibly distinguished itself with wood grain sides. Inside, the Concours featured a high-end textured vinyl interior for both the seats and the side panels. The SS 396 saw a performance damper. The L78 was not available, and the L34 dropped to 350hp from 360hp. This was a result of a new GM rule governing the horsepower allowances for all cars other than the Corvette. Although GM did not offer the L78, some dealers installed the engine and 612 cars included this high performance engine. For your consideration is this 1967 Chevelle SS clone. Originally a Malibu Sport Coupe with a V8 engine and a bench seat with column shift automatic, this Malibu was going to be a 427 Chevelle SS with bucket seats and a 4-speed super car. However, it was not to be. The clone process was started in Pennsylvania where the car was repainted to yellow with a black vinyl roof. Bucket seats were added and a 4-speed console was retrofitted to handle the 2-speed automatic transmission. A 350ci engine was installed along with all new interior. (Front and rear seat covers, door panels, head liner and carpet). What is good and bad about the paint is; the bad, it was repainted yellow; the good, it was originally Madeira Maroon or better known for its 1970 color name of Black Cherry. Black Cherry has long been one of the most popular colors ever produced for the Chevrolet cars and I am in hopes that the next owner will restore this Chevelle and paint the car back to that incredibly beautiful color of Madeira Maroon. (Black Cherry) The person I purchased the car from purchased it back in 2003 in Carlisle, PA and drove it back to Maine with the good intention of completing the restoration. He purchased the Maine vanity plate “67 427SS” and that is as far as he got. (The pair of Maine vanity plates will go with the car.) The Chevelle set for the next 12 years in his barn (The barn has a wooden floor.) where I looked it over and purchased it. Due to a very musty smell from sitting, I gutted the entire interior, sprayed with Lysol and cleaned everything I could with Clorox wipes. Then I purchased a new carpet and new headliner and reinstalled the interior with the exception of the headliner which will go with the car. I changed the oil, added antifreeze, blead the brake lines, installed a new temperature sending unit and then decided it was time to try and start the car. Prior to starting the car, I drained the gas tank, installed new gas with octane booster and filled the 4BBL carburetor with gas, letting it sit overnight to re-swell the gaskets. The next morning, I pumped the gas and turned the key and the engine fired right up and idled beautifully. I checked the transmission fluid while the car was running and ended up adding a quart. Don’t get me wrong, the car needs lots of attention. I.e. floor boards, wipers not working, transmission slipping, shocks probably need replacing, low beams not working. However, there are good aspects. i.e. 1967 Chevelle 2-door sport coupe V8, Maderia Maroon (Black Cherry) original color paint, excellent frame rails, new interior, horn works, radio works, oil pressure gauge works, speedometer works, high beams work, running lights work, blinkers work, brake lights work, brakes work. Today I added fuel at the gas station and the fuel gauge started working. (I may have said it was not working in my video which I shot prior to getting gas.) Check out the video here: Exterior: The Yellow paint is driver quality. The glass is all good. The chrome and bright work is driver quality. Decent rims and tires. Doors open and close fine with all exterior locks functioning properly. Interior: The interior is in very good condition overall. There are no rips or tears in the seats, door panels or dash. The carpet is new. There is no headliner installed but a new headliner will go with the car. There is still a slight musty smell that I am told will dissipate. Front seat belts only. The wipers and heater blower motor are not working. Undercarriage: The undercarriage has been patched in areas but the important frame rails are in very good condition. The exhaust needs to be replaced. The gas tank is in good condition with no leaks. Emergency brake is not working. Engine: 350 ci that starts and runs good. No dripping or leaking noticed. As a precaution and a lubricant, I added a container of Bards Aluminum radiator additive when adding the antifreeze. Transmission: The transmission is slipping but is still very drivable. Trunk: The trunk is in good condition having been re-spatter painted at some point. There is no spare or jack assembly. Mechanical: The brakes work correctly. The power steering is fine. The suspension needs to be addressed with new shocks. There is a clunking when going into gear initially. ID Photos : Vin. Number: 136177G107576 Vin.

Regardless of the condition of my muscle cars, they are all between 40 and 50 years old. My rule is this; "Once the transaction is complete and the car leaves my property by whatever means, if there any issues with the car, it is now the responsibility of the new owner and not me." This may sound a little snooty, but every now and then someone asks me that question. I have tried very hard through description, photos and video to present this 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu honestly and fairly.Having said that, ask any and all questions before bidding and not after the auction ends and you are the winner of this 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu.
