The Chevy Chevelle was in its fourth year at Chevrolet in 1967. And it rose to second place in sales with the GM division. Only 22% of production included an inline-6 and this nice 4-door Malibu is one of them. It presents quite well and is said to have only 19,000 miles on the odometer, so perhaps it was just driven to church on Sundays by Grandma. In any event, this sweet Malibu is in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, and available here on Facebook Marketplace for $19,000. A tip of the fedora to Andy Mrakovcic for this tip!
Given the size and weight of the Chevelle, you’d think that most buyers would go for a V8 engine. And 78% did, but those who didn’t had two inline-6 motors to choose from, starting with the 230 cubic inch version producing 140 hp. You could get 155 hp by opting for the new 250 I-6, as did the original owner of this nice Malibu. They also went for the 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes, but not factory air conditioning.
We don’t know the history of this apparent survivor, which would explain how it looks almost the same today as it did 57 years ago. Is the paint and interior original? Quite possibly. There are no signs of rust past or present, suggesting it resided in a nice, comfortable garage except for the few occasions it was pressed into service.
It could also have 124,000 miles and has been restored, but that seems unlikely for a 4-door I-6 unless sentimentality came into play. If you’re not looking for a road racer and four doors aren’t too many for you, what about this Malibu? Seeing that it’s been on the market for nearly five months, either the seller forgot to take down the listing when it sold, or the price is too much for what it is.
The word “Power” should not in any way be associated with this vehicle! I do respect the cleanliness of the car. This was grandmas grocery getter back in the day. I do recall an old lady who drove a butternut yellow 67 Caprice 4 door in my hometown. It had a 427 residing under the hood. I don’t know what ever happened to that car, but every gearhead in town tried to buy it from her.
Well said! I once owned a Chevelle with a small V8. I think it was a 307. Same transmission, 2 speed Powerglide. It couldn’t get out of its own way. I can’t imagine how slow this car is with a 6 cylinder under the hood. Maybe that explains the low mileage? Grandma went to the grocery once a year, and it took her 6 months to get back. 😂😂😂
The inline 6 had low end torque.
Two too many doors and two too few cylinders.
Yeah, for a stoplight warrior but for a trip to the ice cream shop with your kids, it’s perfect. Less hassle getting the kids in and out with more doors, decent fuel economy and it’ll still turn plenty of heads while you’re out cruising around town. I’d venture a guess, the way it is configured, it will also get plenty of attention at the local car shows as well. Probably more so than another big blocked, rallye wheeled, two door Chevy.
Yeah, not all of us have to do a burnout every time we go to the store.
In the 70’s, my then father in law sold me a 66 Chevelle 300 2 door sedan with the 230 6 cyl and powerglide. That’s all, no ps, manual drum brakes, but i needed a second car at the time, and $200.00 fit into my budget. Drove that car for years, and it was a great commuter car, until someone didn’t see our line of traffic stopped in front of him and totalled it.
What a beautifully preserved, and pretty everyday car from yesteryear. It’s nice to see one that hasn’t been turned into a ridiculous hotrod, or a parts car.
These are good cars. We had a new ’67 Chevelle 300 Deluxe four-door sedan with the 250 engine. Our Mopar neighbor borrowed it one day and said “That’s peppy for a six”.
This car does look nice. Under the hood has been painted black and even though I can’t see much of the seats, I’m nearly certain that isn’t the Malibu cloth upholstery for ’67. I personally don’t care for the trim rings added, but of course, easy to remove. Price seems stupid to me, but what do I know.
The car doesn’t have a radio.
This is very strong money for a sales-rep spec car so I’d expect any serious buyer to nitpick originality to hell and back before shelling out. I know I would.
Not sure what you think the cloth should look like, but this appears to be the OE design.
Looks like door striker area has been painted, either way, looks really nice, almost too nice.
I’ll take a ‘67 four door (Sport Sedan) over any two door Malibu any day of the week. Mom had a Deep Water Blue one; loved that car!
This is a really nice example. Most do not realize that the large portion of these cars weren’t huge big block, bipitty, bopitty tire smoking gas hogs but nice thrifty, comfy transportation. looking at this makes me want to go to church….lol
Its gorgeous and the stovebolt and powerglide will last forever. I’m noticing a dual channel master cylinder. Is that an upgrade, correct me if i’m wrong i thought the dual system came online in 68. If its o.e.m. my mistake if its an upgrade even better for safeties sakes.
Dual reservoir master cylinders were mandated starting in 1967.

I really doubt grandma would have put the 1967 Chevelle plate on the front fender. What’s that smell? Seems fishy.
Not sure which “67 Chevelle plate on the front fender” you are referencing. The only emblem there is the one indicating the 250 cid engine is what’s under the hood.
Russ, you could actually get a 194 six banger on the real cheap model
Chevelles.
Great $5,000 car for someone who has pleasant childhood memories of one just like it.
Russ, I’m suprised at you .”too many doors”..I thought you were better than that..
What a sweet little car…..Good luck to whoever winds up with it
Absolutely love it. Great trip car, family weekend car, cars and coffee car……. It’s absolutely beautiful. Not $19k beautiful, but $10,500-12,500 would be fair. If it were an 8, even as a 4 door, it would be more in that $15,000 or higher realm. Still beautiful for what it is. A genuine work horse. GLWTS
If indeed a no hit, rust free ‘67 then it’s worth a premium price. I agree with pre-mentioned $12-$15,000. If the 19,000 mileage is legit and can be proven then $19,000 is the right price. Love the radio delete.
Every classic car doesn’t have to be high hp.
Cool car
Love to own it.
We drove a 69 with the 230 in it for our only family car from 79 till mid 80’s. The 230 will cruise the interstate all day long at 70 or 80. Has plenty power around town also. Back in the 80’s the Chevy six would run with most of the ”family car” V8’s. The 250 is just that much more. Dissing a Chevy 6 means you have never owned one or rode in one.
