Small Tweaks For The 1967 Model:The 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle only had minor changes from its 1966 predecessor. New chrome bars were added to the front grille. There were also some styling tweaks that gave the Chevelle a leaner and longer appearance, giving it more "proper" look. The rear end added large taillamps to go along with the standard backup lights. Visibly, the tweaks to the '67 Chevy Chevelle were modest.
The '67 Chevrolet Chevelle did have a new dual master cylinder brake system which incorporated a warning light and all models had front disc brakes.
Finding a 1967 Chevelle SS for sale is a dream that many muscle car enthusiasts hold near and dear to their hearts. While the '67 Chevelle SS is by no means a perfect car, it's a wonderful specimen that boasts enough personality to make its flaws endearing.
There were kinks present in the first several years of the Chevelle SS, particularly in the way that the car handled, and driving at top speeds exacerbated these issues. What set the 1967 Chevelle SS for sale apart from those that had come before it were the improvements in this area.
These most basic of these changes was the upgrade from the standard rayon two-ply 7.75x14 tires to low profile F70X14s with nylon belts. Chevy also reconfigured the steering system including the wheel so that grip and steering response were dramatically improved.
The feel in the car when one changes direction, especially at high speed, is what separates the 1967 Chevelle SS most from the 1964-1966 Chevelle SSs. The designers also improved braking with the new front disc brakes that were available as an option along with the purposeful 14-inch slotted wheels that were included standard.
Enthusiasts should note that it is possible to customize the 1964-1966 Chevelle SSs to include similar handling improvements. However, the 1967 Chevelle SS provides a particular handling that one cannot easily match with a simple upgrade, and this is part of the vehicle's allure.
Lots Of Choices With The '67 Chevelle
When a buyer was interested in purchasing a 1967 Chevelle, they often had lots of choices and options. It often made it a tough task to choose the right Chevelle for them. First there was the engine choice. The base model had a V-8 with 325 horsepower. There was also an Super Sport or SS version of '67 Chevelle which offered a 350 horsepower 396 ci V-8. If the buyer went the SS route, they would have an exclusive grille design, rocker moldings that were gray-toned, bright wheel well moldings and a domed hood with dummy air intake slots. There was also "Quick-Size" version of the SS 396 which came as a sport coupe or a convertible. These were advertised as "the car for the Driving Man". There was a Chevelle Station Wagon available as for purchase as well.
After the engine choice, the buyer would have to select from no less than six transmissions that were available for the 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle. These included two three-speed transmissions, a four-speed version, two automatic transmissions and an overdrive transmission. Some other options available for the '67 Chevelle included Strato-ease headrests, Superlift air shock absorbers and special instrumentation.
Chevrolet's big news in 1967 would be the introduction of the Camaro. Although this was the case, the Chevelle was a more traditional "sporty" vehicle. It could be bought as a 2-door hardtop or a convertible and its manual-shift feature of the Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission helped make the '67 Chevelle a very hot seller in 1967.
