1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible

Description

The 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle was the second of a two-year span of the notable “coke-bottle styling” before the car grew in subsequent years. Receiving a slight facelift over the previous year, 1967 models featured less angular headlight surrounds and a larger bumper cutout beneath the grill. Available in three trims, the Chevelle provided plenty of different body styles, including a two or four-door wagon and multiple-engine options. Offered as either a sport coupe or convertible, the SS 396 was available for the thrill-seeking customer who desired one of Chevrolet’s renowned big-block powerplants. With nearly sixty thousand Chevelles produced as a sport coupe, just over three thousand were built as a convertible. What would become ‘America’s most popular mid-size car’, the Chevelle SS remains one of the most iconic muscle cars ever produced.

Ownership History

According to information located on the vehicle trim tag, this 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle was originally built at the Baltimore assembly facility. Purchased by the current owner in 2016 from an Ohio dealer, this vehicle was subsequently shown at multiple regional car shows in east Tennessee, where the consignor reports exceptional results in each.
