© ChevelleWorld The 1967 model year would be the last year that all models shared a 115.0-inch wheelbase although frames for station wagons and sedan pickups were longer behind the rear wheels. See Tech -> Frames

 

© ChevelleWorld Three horsepower rating 396-cid engines were available; the base 325hp, the optional RPO L34 rated at 350hp, and the RPO L78 rated at 375hp. See engine_id_codes for more detailed information. Both the base 13480 and Malibu series 13680 sedan pickup could order any of the three 306-cid engines.

 

© ChevelleWorld Both the base 13480 and Malibu series 13680 sedan pickup could order any of the three 396-cid engines.

 

© ChevelleWorld The Concours station wagon is the only 1967 series with a VIN starting with 137xx and the 13835 V8 Concours wagon is the only 138xx series Chevelle that is not an SS396. Marina Blue paint was the most popular color for 1967 Chevelles (53,669) but the Concours station wagon was not available in that color unless it was special ordered and approved by the Fleet and Special Order (F&SO) group.

 

© ChevelleWorld A bench seat was standard for all series and models. The SS 396 bench seat was all vinyl while other series/models were cloth & vinyl with the exception of convertibles, station wagons, and sedan pickups that were all vinyl. Bucket seats were an option under RPO A51 and only available with the Malibu & SS 396 series sport coupe or convertible as well as the Malibu series sedan pickup.

 

© ChevelleWorld The TH400 transmission was first offered in 1967 Chevelles but only available with any of the three 396-cid engines.

 

© ChevelleWorld A heavy duty, fully synchronized, floor-shifted Borg Warner manual 3-speed transmission was the standard transmission for the SS 396.

© ChevelleWorld The 1967 model year Chevelle would be the last year a tachometer could be ordered without the gauges under RPO U16 but only with a V8 engine. Special Instrumentation (RPO U14) was limited to V8 Malibus and SS 396 series while the tachometer alone (RPO U16) could be ordered by itself with any V8 engine series.

 

Gauges

 

Warning lamps were standard on all 1967 Chevelles. The gauge option, RPO U14 included an ammeter, mechanical oil pressure gauge, and electric water temperature gauge with any V8 Malibu sport coupe, convertible, sedan pickup, and SS 396 sport coupe and convertible. Gauges were no longer available with an I6 engine as they had been in 1966. A tachometer was also an option by itself for any V8 engine under RPO U16. There is no such thing as "SS Gauges."

 

© ChevelleWorld
The tachometer is located on the left side of the dash covering the left turn signal lamp so the left turn signal lamp was incorporated into the tachometer itself giving it the nickname of "blinker tach. Note this is a tachometer only option as indicated by the single fuel gauge in the left gauge pod and presence of the high beam lamp in the speedometer cluster.

 

© ChevelleWorld
When a center console was not ordered on a V8 Malibu sport coupe, convertible, sedan pickup or SS 396 sport coupe or convertible with RPO U16 gauges the clock was moved to the top of the transmission hump.

 

Three different tachometers wer3 possible depending on the engine ordered. The particular tachometer was selected by the factory's software and not optional to a buyer.
