Usually, when we’re talking about the 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, it’s the SS396 variant that gets all of the attention. Today’s subject, courtesy of barn finder T.J., is similar to that vaunted muscle car, but a bit different too – different in a very positive way. Calling Cody, Colorado home, this nicely equipped 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is available, here on craigslist for $39,000.

I could go over the history and specifics of the 1967 Chevelle but we’ve covered that topic many, many times before so I’ll dispense with that accounting this time. What I will note is that the ’67 Chevelle, as with all other Chevrolet models that year, could be built your way. There was an extensive options list and a seemingly unlimited number of permutations that allowed a prospective buyer to go from mild to wild.

First up was finishes, fifteen different hues to be exact were available – unlike today’s cars which favor insipid shades of black, grey, silver, and white. This Malibu looks as if it was originally finished in Nantucket Blue, and as expected, the original lacquer finish reveals a healthy dose of fade. Still, this Chevelle, all-in-all, presents well. The VIN tells us that it was assembled at the Fremont, California assembly plant and underhood equipment makes clear that this was a CA-destined car – and the seller adds that it was sold by a Canoga Park Chevrolet dealership. A West Coast life may have helped this Chevy preserve its body because it looks rust-free except for some minor trunk pan perforation. One nice exterior option included here is first-year rally wheels, complete with 1967-only center caps known as “flat caps”. Oh, and trim rings are included, they just weren’t installed at picture-taking time.

Continuing a trip down the option sheet, the original orderer selected a 275 gross HP, 327 CI V8 engine, pushing power out to its twelve-bolt rear axle via a four-speed manual transmission. The seller claims that it is a matching-number motor, and I was able to verify that it is a date-correct engine, but I couldn’t find or read the sequence number. Regardless, there’s no reason to suspect that the powerplant is anything other than the born-with unit. As for the California provenance, note the A.I.R. pump perched front and center. The mileage is listed as 117K miles so the engine may be a bit tired (they didn’t last back then like they do today) but assuming that proper maintenance has been employed, and a lack of abuse heaped on, additional smooth sailing shouldn’t be an issue. Another nice option selected was first-year disc brakes. I say kudos to that as I owned, way back, a 1967 SS396 Chevelle with manual drum brakes and there were times when I wished I had an anchor to bring it to a halt!

Moving inside, the option checking continues with A/C – another nice feature not often found on this generation of Chevrolet’s popular A-body. The seller states that the system has been converted to 134 refrigerant and “it works great.” Other than a typically worn carpet (a new one is included), the blue vinyl environment is in good nick. Any more options? You bet – this Chevy is sporting a factory wooden tiller, remote driver’s side mirror, and a tilt column.

So, what’s not to like here? Well, maybe the $39K price tag but I’m not surprised at that. The seller mentions that he has a full instrumentation cluster, along with bucket seats and a center console that are included in the sale. The seller refers to this car as, “a real survivor.” I would agree, how about you?
