The Super Sport was the icing on the cake. Still available separately since 1966 (and until 1969, when Chevrolet changed its mind and reintroduced the Super Sport as a Chevelle package), the SS could be had as the famous SS 396. The GM brand tweaked the engine, but the power didn’t go up, with the L34 developing 350 horsepower instead of 360.
The 1967 Chevelle SS in these photos was recently pulled from a barn, with eBay seller oldmuscle1945 explaining they discovered the car sitting in storage for approximately 30 years. You can imagine that a car sitting for so long exhibits serious problems, but I have to admit that this real-deal Super Sport flexes a condition that is much better than my expectations.
The paint is still believed to be original, and while it’ll require a full respray as part of a complete restoration, it looks good nonetheless. A Chevelle not moving for decades typically exhibits rusty metal, especially under it, but this isn’t the case with this Super Sport. The owner claims the floors and the trunk are very clean and slid, while the vinyl top is also great for its age.
The owner explains that this Chevelle is still original, though I’d personally investigate this claim, especially because the car has recently been prepared for the road.
The big news under the hood is that the big-block engine is still starting and running. You won’t need to spend much time with mechanical fixes, as the Chevelle lets you get behind the wheel and drive, so your restoration project will revolve around other issues, such as fixing the body and the interior.
How much is a Chevelle SS in this condition worth today? The question has multiple answers, as it all depends on its shape and the engine under the hood. This Super Sport checks many big boxes for a solid restoration to factory specifications, and I’m not surprised that 17 people have already added it to their watchlists. This means the seller can get an offer any day now, though the listing will expire in 27 days.
Meanwhile, anyone willing to pay $35K can take the Chevelle SS home, but I can’t insist enough on inspecting the car in person before making an offer. You can find the car in Kingston, New Hampshire, and considering it’s road-worthy, you should be able to take it home on its wheels.
