In 1967, the Chevelle was offered in three trims, with the Malibu continuing to reign supreme: it was available in most body styles, including sedan, sport coupe, convertible and wagon.
The most notable change to the SS lineup is the detuned L34, which no longer produces 360 horsepower, dropping power by 10 horsepower to 350 horsepower.
The Chevelle SS in these photos is the remains of what was once a great car, and it’s in such terrible shape that it will pose a major challenge to anyone willing to give it another chance.
As anyone can see from the photos, the Chevelle is on the verge of becoming riddled with rust, with eBay seller octanevalley admitting that it will need “extensive metal repairs.” The front floor and trunk pan are already corroded, so if you’re planning on restoring this Chevelle, you should assume that just about every bit of metal will need repairs.
The frame is still good, but should be inspected before purchasing or making an offer. All of this information makes sense considering this Chevelle has been sitting around for a long time, with the owner saying the car was last on the road over 30 years ago. It’s unclear how it ended up in this condition, but the real Chevelle SS 396 (with 138 code) has apparently been used as a donor for another project. With most of the parts missing, the owner says he had no choice but to list it as a Roller.
The engine and transmission are missing, which is also disappointing news considering the SS 396 was powertrain specific, but the missing engine means it opens the door to an engine upgrade, so if you already have a more powerful unit, this Chevelle might be worth a second chance.
It’s time to talk money, and despite its terrible condition and missing parts, the seller isn’t planning on letting this Chevelle SS 396 go for cheap. The owner thinks $5,250 is a fair price, but he’s also enabled the option to make an offer, which means you can submit other offers if you’re still interested in this car.
Despite its poor shape, the Chevelle has already garnered a lot of attention online, with 82 people currently looking at it, according to the auction site. The car is parked in Linden, New Jersey, and given its shape and the missing parts, you’ll likely need a trailer to get it home.
