About The 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396

The Chevelle SS396 became a series of its own starting just the year before. SS 396 sport coupes and convertibles used the same Malibu sport coupe and convertible bodies with reinforced frames and revised front suspension: higher-rate springs recalibrated shocks and thicker front stabilizer bar but with different exterior trim. They also had simulated hood scoops red-stripe tires and bright trim moldings. The 1967s were the last model year to have the 'strut back' 2-door sport coupe with its own style number 17.

While the previous year saw a complete restyle of the Chevelle on the previous frame it included smooth contours a broad new grille and bumper treatment and curved side windows. Bulging rear fender lines and a "flying buttress" roofline (tunneled into the "C" pillar) were highlights of these hardtops. The new body reflected the "Coke bottle" body shape that was synonym for American cars in the mid-1960s. Judicious attention to the options list could add a tachometer.

The 1967 models got some styling tweaks that resulted in a longer more straightforward appearance. Large wraparound tail lamps went into a new rear end with standard backup lights. Otherwise visible change was modest. "What you'll see inside" claimed the sales brochure for the 1967 Chevelle "will probably bring on a severe compulsion to go driving." Front disc brakes were available on all models and a new dual master cylinder brake system incorporated a warning light. Chevrolet also added 14" wheels and a three speed automatic transmission to their line of transmissions. An entire host of new safety equipment became standard including a collapsible steering column making the 1967 models safer cars. The SS396 continued as its own series with both sport coupe and convertible body styles. The manual-shift feature of the Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission was touted in advertising. Options included Superlift air shock absorbers Strato-ease headrests and special instrumentation.
