Loved my 67 Malibu same Marina Blue. SBC, high rise intake, over-jetted carb., added dual exhausts, 3 sp on column. I had a hard time keeping power to the ground. Same blue interior. Chevy wheels, Cooper white letter tires. I had to make hidden improvements as Dad would have put the brakes on anything......roll all windows and work thru the gears......what a summer ride!
A Chevy. B B. Dont liked to be over reved. Other wise. A good engine. I had a 65 impala ss. With a 70 402 BB. 4 speed. Pass anything but a gas station lol
My grandfather had a '65 Impala SW same color combination. I love these cars not only for their collectability and looks, but for the great memories they bring back. Beautiful Chevelle Patrick, congratulations, and enjoy.
I know someone with one of these in Macedonia, Ohio. It had like 20,000 miles on it and had only been wet one time it's life. He takes it to shows. What a beauty!!!!
Awesome car - I was on a vacation roadtrip a few years ago and a red one like this came up behind us on a secondary road. I rolled my windows down to hear it go by on the first straight stretch.
My older brother bought one brand new just like it except in emerald green with black vinyl top black interior with a bench seat, he ordered buckets but it was delivered with a bench seat and he was furious! He did get a discount for the mistake however. I remember his also had a brake lock mounted under the dash on the left side near the parking brake lever. He got drafted and fought in the jungles of Vietnam and left the SS to me to take care of while he was gone.. I was only 15 at the time. My brother mounted grey spoke American mags and flame thrower bright lights as soon as he took delivery of the car and the hub caps went in the trunk. Sadly, my father had to sell the car because he was stuck making the payments on it while my brother was gone… another returning Vietnam vet came with his father and bought the car. It broke my heart to see it leave my care. 😢. Just a quick note: I almost got killed parking my Harley chopper at the bottom of a hill like you did. I was stopped at the stop sign putting on my gloves when a guy in a road runner came flying over the top Of the hill at high speed. He had to crash his beautiful road runner Into the woods to avoid running over me! All I seen was his oil Pan when I turned around to see what was charging over the top of the hill straight at me. You would be better off filming on a flat open road next time!
I agree today cars are so much faster by so much, handle nicer, better gas mileage, last much longer, get better gas mileage, quieter interiors. Pretty much everything’s better today. With the exception of looks and that’s strictly off an opinion and I can respect that
I understood you to say that you purchased this car I'm glad you did because I think you will take really good care of it. Congratulations thanks for sharing
She's a real beauty. And I think that I am even more amazed that it is a bench seat car, with a 4spd. Then I am, that is an open diff. car. But I sure would love to own it. Thanks for the video
😂 If a car today can’t make it to 150K Without any medium to big problems you got a piece of shit. Back then you would be luck to get 60K without anything big happening.
Patrick thanks for your work with the old cars I have Chevrolet by numbers 60 to 75 books but don't know nothing as in detail as you thanks again for helping us out with the history of old cars
Patrick, thanks for the Honor of letting me Ride in this real deal, Super Sport. A complete OEM car, is very rare. This is a Gem. Hope it goes to a Big Block Lover. It was a smooth ride with the 375 thumping.
My dad had the exact same car when I was a kid. One Sunday driving home from church a valve broke and shoved a piston thru the block. Mom drove a 1969 SS396 Chevelle yellow with a vinyl top. Man I would love to have those cars back.
Definitely. To think our grandmas drove cars like this would shock youngsters. HOw they kept it perfectly stock all those yrs says they knew what they bought whenit was new
my mothers friend bought a new 1966 chevelle L78 when i was 13 years old the car had a M22 trany in it i remember that cool whine sound it made , I have owned three 66 chevelles tke one i have i have owned it almost 40 years
wow what a cool find! thanks for sharing this! look at the gas, break and clutch pedals, if it's 168k miles they should appear worn a lot. thanks again!
The L78 was dropped for most of the year for the same reason that the L79 Nova was dropped after they built just six or seven cars, they could embarrass the new kid on the block and Chevrolet didn't care for that at all ! oh, yeah the new kid , ever hear of a Camaro ? And yeah they did put a 396 in the Camaros , but not until after X-mas of '66 . Even then , a good driver in a L79 Chevy II would trounce a BB Camaro , the BB torque would light up the rear tires , and the Deuce would be long gone .
When I was in high school my friend had bought one of these. He built it up to a 9.62 quarter mile car. It used so much race fuel he couldn't ever drive it. That was back in the mid 1980's.
In 1974 I bought a marina blue, black interior 67' ss 396 4 speed,, buckets, console, BEATIFUL all original car, I paid a whoppy thousand dollars for it,,,, boy have times changed! It wasn't a L-78, but still ran 12:77 @ 107 m.p.h. with a little tweaking,,, GOOD OL' DAYS!
No offense, but how did you run 12:77 in the qtr & it wasn’t even a L-78 ? I mean that would be a pretty good time even for a L-78. In the mid to late 60s, any car that broke into the 12s would outrun 90 percent of what was on the street. Low to mid 14s was typical, which doesn’t sound like a lot of difference, until you consider that for every 10th of a second, is around one car length for a car running at least 100 mph at the end of qtr, so in other words, only one second difference can be up to 8 to 10 cars in the qtr. But of course there’s a lot of variables involved, so that’s just a rough average, but you get the idea, and you can have a lot horse power, but if you can’t get the rear tires to hook up, you might have to play catch up against a much slower car, that had a good pair of slicks, and you had street tires.
I have been a subscriber for over 3 years. I also hunt the backroads of ohio w.v and beyond for old automotive content. I found a 1970 chevelle in Gallia ohio rotting away orginal 454 ..in a backyard. Maybe I could send you information. She didn't want me to do a video without buying it. Lol it was her late husband's..I am on a very tight budget when I travel I sleep in a tent and eat on under $5 a day. So almost any price is too much for me..love your knowledge I owned a 67 ss 396 and a 1970 clone chevelle 455...I now own and drive a 1970 riviera 455 with the 1 year only engine 370 h p. 510 torque 10 to 1 compression as you know they dropped to 8 to 1 in 71
Definitely my favorite year . Definitely my favorite car ! Just not my favorite color . I can tell That it's your favorite year also And with those words I became a subscriber . 😎
My favorite year of chevelle 67 and favorite color maina blue......! I love it patrick.....
OUTSTANDING! Absolutely amazing Chevelle, always loved the ‘67.
Patrick thank you this is what I enjoy a survivor untouched.
Congradulations on the super-awesome find! I love mid 60's GM body styling, Chevelles and big blocks. It just don't get much better than that!
Holy Grail indeed. Apparently it’s been in the right hands since the first day it was driven off the lot.
Loved my 67 Malibu same Marina Blue. SBC, high rise intake, over-jetted carb., added dual exhausts, 3 sp on column. I had a hard time keeping power to the ground. Same blue interior.

Thank you for showing us this great, original car. Nothing better than original.
Wow Patrick...What a beautifully cared for Chevelle. Amazing to think that it's 55 years old and the L-78 hasn't blown up yet! NICE JOB!
A Chevy. B B. Dont liked to be over reved. Other wise. A good engine. I had a 65 impala ss. With a 70 402 BB. 4 speed. Pass anything but a gas station lol
yt white, likely not the original engine.
If I recall back then 80,000-100,000 miles was considered worn out
@@RobertSmith-le8wp GM vehicles, that's damn sure right.
Great find Pat. They still are out there. Looking forward to more on the car.
A super nice survivor that can be driven sparingly and never lose value.
What a find…. “Congratulations “ !!!
It's pronounced Sw "i" tzer. I used to work there, they build clutch drive fans and turbo chargers for John Deer and Caterpillar
My grandfather had a '65 Impala SW same color combination. I love these cars not only for their collectability and looks, but for the great memories they bring back. Beautiful Chevelle Patrick, congratulations, and enjoy.
That's a gorgeous Chevelle, Malibu!!!
What a beautiful Chevelle! Thanks for sharing Patrick 👍

Great find. Thnx for sharing. Bring it to MCACN in November so I can see it live.
It's beautiful.

Would sure like to have this one! Next favorite to a ‘70 Chevelle
Nice 1967 My Aunt Bought 1 Brand New Stiill Got mid night 🌙 Blue It's Very Pretty
Great Video...Thank you..
Incredible machine 😎
You CANNOT buy anything like this today, in a modern car.
Marina Blue!!!❤️🏆
I agree today cars are so much faster by so much, handle nicer, better gas mileage, last much longer, get better gas mileage, quieter interiors. Pretty much everything’s better today. With the exception of looks and that’s strictly off an opinion and I can respect that
@@montanaplease you think cars today will “last longer”??? You’re delusional lol
My dream car! I would detail it and leave it as is. Preserve it as original as I could. It's beautiful
Great Survivor ! Great Find ! Congrats and thanks for posting !
I understood you to say that you purchased this car I'm glad you did because I think you will take really good care of it. Congratulations thanks for sharing
That's 68k original miles.👍 Great find Patrick, another one saved.🙋
Thank you sir for sharing
She's a real beauty. And I think that I am even more amazed that it is a bench seat car, with a 4spd. Then I am, that is an open diff. car. But I sure would love to own it. Thanks for the video
I bet 2022 cars won't make it ,50 years and that 67 will still be running
😂
If a car today can’t make it to 150K Without any medium to big problems you got a piece of shit.
Back then you would be luck to get 60K without anything big happening.
@@montanaplease I'll pay you 100 if a 2022 car makes it 50;years
There’s nothing like the wicked appearance and draw a old muscle car attracts. They are truly legendary.
Beautiful Chevrolet
That's the real deal. Imagine a standing start race. On 7.75 x 14" tires, open axle 😄
Just hearing it idle..... music, indeed.
Nice 👍
That's a badass car right there, love the taillights in 67
Wow! Very cool!
Thank you for this content
That interior made me smile……… smoked a lot joints in my high school parking lot in my buddies 67 , not SS I think he got it from his grandma
Wow. Just wow. Original. My fav. Well. As original as you can muster up. I absolutely luv that period blue paint and interior.
I would never paint that . Looks great the way it is
Patrick thanks for your work with the old cars I have Chevrolet by numbers 60 to 75 books but don't know nothing as in detail as you thanks again for helping us out with the history of old cars
I knew a girl in high school that had one....she popped that clutch like a pro.
Patrick, thanks for the Honor of letting me Ride in this real deal, Super Sport. A complete OEM car, is very rare. This is a Gem. Hope it goes to a Big Block Lover. It was a smooth ride with the 375 thumping.
Cool 67. Love the blue
My dad had the exact same car when I was a kid. One Sunday driving home from church a valve broke and shoved a piston thru the block.
Mom drove a 1969 SS396 Chevelle yellow with a vinyl top.
Man I would love to have those cars back.
He said cool so many times I was shivering.
Super find!👍👏
Blue is beautiful 😍 💙
I had a 67 when I was a kid [17yo]. I love that car.
The perfect vehicle.
67 chevelle most beautiful and my favorite car ever built.
I'm from east Tennessee we have a 69 super sport.
My first car I ever bought in 1971 when I was 16 was 67 Chevelle Malibu 283 in this color
I love that sound when you close the door!👍what a cool find!😎I would have to put a 410 posi in that car!
Beautiful car! I was 13 in 67, always dreamt of having one. Ended up with a beautiful 68 firebird when I was 17.
Beautiful car Patrick! I had one exactly like yours except mine was a 2 speed auto. Same color, same style. Loved it, wish I had never sold it.
She is a beauty man oh man my brother just bought one 50 grand
I wish I still had my 67 SS. It was the same color.
Absolutely incredible find! NO power steering and NO power brakes!? Made for racing seems to me! I would love to have this car!
Definitely. To think our grandmas drove cars like this would shock youngsters.
HOw they kept it perfectly stock all those yrs says they knew what they bought whenit was new
You seem to find the cars we all dream of wishing to own

WoW ... one of my dream cars right there Patrick . Very nice find !!!
7:44 he didn't get the locking diff because he didn't want to impersonate a Mustang owner leaving a car show.
Looks like grandma and grandpas boat.
My favorite color on my favorite year Chevelle!
Patrick nice find and presentation of the holy grail.
Fix the rust and prime, a set cragar wheels and enjoy til the good lord comes knocking.

Yeah, I’m laughing and calling BS on saying you ran those times and trap speed with that stock vehicle
I always loved these Chevelle's and what a lucky find I don't live to far from there.
Awesome acquisition
Patric, what a great find and your knowledge is incredible. What would an unrestored car like this 67 sell for. I love the 67 body type.
A lot
Well over 6 figures on the low end value.
