1967 Chevrolet Chevelle

This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 with 454 CID engine is for sale in our Louisville Kentucky showroom. Chevelle was Chevrolet's midsize car brought out in 1964 it was an instant success. Originally made to compete with Ford's Fairlane the Chevelle, for the most part, destroyed the competition. The entry level 300 series soon became many hot-rodder's go to piece. The post body gave the Chevelle a much more Rigid platform which in turn was able to handle the ever increasing horsepower that the bigger displacement motors were churning out. Much like the tri five post cars the Chevelles were able to run under the radar leaving most people thinking they were entry level 6 cylinder cars. As a tribute to the sleeper cars of the late 60's and early 70's this 300 has had the ultimate "sleeper" treatment given to it. At 1st glance, the unassuming Mountain Green paint, with matching steel wheels and the original dog dish hubcaps gives no indication of what is lurking under the hood. Stuffed under the hood is a freshly rebuilt 454 engine (finished February 2014) and backed by a brand new Performance Automatic 700R4, this Chevelle 300 is ready to roll up anybody that gets in its way. To keep the beastly 454 running cool, an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans has been installed. The exhaust gases from the aluminum headed 454 are sent through a pair of Hooker ceramic coated headers. The engine has been dressed up with a polished March serpentine engine accessories kit. The rear end is an upgraded 12 bolt posi unit with a Richmond carrier, 3.42 Auburn gears and bearings. In 2012, this Chevelle 300 was treated to a Rotisserie restoration that included new floor pans and rear body panels. The front suspension has been rebuilt with O.E. bushings, ball joints, new tie rods and new springs. The braking system has been upgraded to a 4 wheel power disc brake system. To keep things cool, while blasting down the highway, a Vintage Air Compact Gen II AC system has been installed. To keep with the “Sleeper” look, the interior has been kept simple with black vinyl bench seats, an automatic column shifter, and the AM/FM radio with CD player has been neatly tucked into the glove box. This beautiful ’67 Chevelle 300 has other nice little touches, that include a smoothed firewall, new steering box, remanufactured power steering pump, and original bumpers/door hardware that has been re-chromed.
