67 Chevelle still looks good almost 50 years later - beautiful styling. Color, condition, and upgrades on this one are all nice. Thank you Mr Magnante and High Octane Classics as always for making these possible. ~ Chuck
Just like mine just a little different condition! The Silent Malibu now has a custom frame and new floor and rockers! She will make it back to the streets. Thanks for turning me onto her in your series at Bernardston auto wrecking!
Correct, this started life as a V8 Malibu with the VIN (from the HOC website for the win): 1 for Chevrolet, 36 for Malibu V8, 17 for two door sport coupe, 7 for 1967 model year, Z (not 7 as on the HOC website) for Fremont, CA assembly aka "Freaky Fremont" and the rest is the production sequence. The Fremont, CA assembly plant opened in 1963 and closed in 1982 and not a single tear was shed by GM management on that day. Fremont Assembly was the worst of the worst and it was often said, "If you can think of it, it's available at Fremont". That meant gambling, drugs, alcohol, and all the bad stuff. In 1984, the Fremont CA plant became a joint venture between Toyota and GM and built captive imports for many years (until around 2010). Today, Tesla assembles their vehicles there. We can tell this is a tribute and not an original because the second and third VIN digits are "36" for a Malibu V8 and a true SS would have "38" for the second and third digits of the VIN. No tag, can't brag, but assuming someone tried to be close to an original 1967 color, this would be code "E" Deepwater Blue exterior paint, but a very squinting glance at the trim tag shows that this may have been code "C" Ermine White or code "G" Granada Gold exterior paint originally. Au contraire, Pontiac V8s were just as good as Chevrolet V8s. In fact, Pontiac V8s have better power and oil control. They just don't need to rev high to make power. They do it smartly, not loudly. Anyone can make a Chevrolet V8 go fast, it takes skill to do it in a Pontiac V8.
You need to oil those hood hinge springs. Just spray them down with WD40. It helps them move easier and stops any spring creaking noise too. Plus kills rust. :D
Hey Steve-O, great to see you OUT of that dusty garage and in the wilderness closer to the J-Y Crawl homey. Pertinent question - How did these ^HigH^ performance Chevys of the sixties get labeled with the . . ." Slip & Slide Power Glide ".. . . . . label by car enthusiasts ?!? Could the transmissions be problematic ?!? . . .🚘🔍. Many Thanks Yo ! 👌
Jesus, whoever did the panel alignment must have been blind. 🤣 The outer grille extensions are painted incorrectly for an SS or a clone, the quarter panels emblems are incorrectly located, the SS tail panel emblem is too low, that’s a 68-72 console and shifter, and that steering wheel needs to go back into the civic it came out of 🤮
Steve, so great to see you out in nature with a great car in the picture!!!~ Keep on healing my brother!!!~
Love it Steve! Praying for your continued recover!
Steve is the most knowledgeable guy on any car show ever,
Still sharp as a tack! Love you Steve!!!
Steve Mags is the King! Great car too

Almost 60 years later, 1967 was 57 years ago.
@@Andrew-bb3lc You're right, but 1987 was like, what, 15 years ago. 😂
GM nailed the styling one those platforms. Looks like it's going fast sitting still.
Wow , it’s beautiful car! Love that Blue! Thanks

One of my favorite cars.
Mag's, Brother !! So Damn GOOD to be learning all the "Ins and Outs" of these cars w/you !!! Welcome Back !!
Nice Chevelle, had a chuckle at the pickup truck that drove up and backed away 😂
Glad to see you getting better every day Steve!
Another great video and Steve you are looking better every video keep fighting
0:37 that truck knew to back off from Steve.
Beautiful car!!! Great video, Steve!!
Best of the old with the best of the new !
Another great video Steve!
Steve Mags rules! 👍🏼👍🏼
'Glad you are keeping on!
PS The random pick up that pulled in, saw you and the '67 Chevelle in front of a big camera, and backed out, was, so random.

Your the greatest

What rear axle spline count did the ss396 come out with from factory?
I wonder... what kinda mileage you can squeeze outta that?
I'd be happy to have a base Chevelle 300 with a straight 6 and a 3 on the tree
Make mine triple white!
nice car!!!!! ...cept that steering wheel....
Yeah that steering wheel doesn’t look right in there.
put it in reverse Terry!

The good old days, when you could buy a muscle car for a budget price!
67 seems to be 2nd in popularity behind the 70…
How much $
Thanks
is a 67 a first gen. Chevelle still then a 68 would be gen 2
64-67 is considered 1st Gen. 68-72 is 2nd Gen. 73-77 is 3rd Gen. 78-83 is 4th Gen.
Hello.
The Hood is misaligned.
@@garyv2196 Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. It’s a used car, they are not perfect 🍸🍸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@debbiebermudez5890 The hood is still misaligned.
Haha! I noticed that too. Still a great lookin ride.
It's a real pleasure getting to learn with you Steve!
