I am pleased to present to you my 1967 Chevelle Super Sport. It is a seven year concours restoration with one goal in mind: to build the highest quality, original example of a 1967 Chevelle SS 396 possible. It is a Marina blue, four speed, black bucket seat car with 325 horsepower. This car has all the ingredients to be a national show winner.

    I have invested over four thousand hours in its creation, personally assembling the entire car myself, procuring parts and participating in the preparatory processes of the painting and plating. I was involved and supervised every step of the restoration. Every detail was meticulously attended to. Much care was taken in determining the correct plating and painting for each part. Sikkens paint was used almost exclusively. Over five liters of clear coat was applied. All original aluminum trim, including the grille, headlight extensions, headlight surrounds, rear body trim and vinyl top moldings were stripped, professionally polished and re-anodized.  No reproduction trim work was used on this Chevelle.  All chrome parts were triple plated copper, nickel and chrome. All stainless was professionally polished.

      In addition to my personal time that was invested, over $133,000 was paid to professionals in areas such as paint, body work, engine building, plating and upholstery.  (All receipts are available on request.) Many thousands of dollars were spent on parts. New old stock parts were used when ever possible. However, since this was an excellent 88,000 mile original automobile to begin with, many of its original parts were brought back to better than new condition. If any parts or options were added, they had to be 100% correct in originality.  Options that were added include original two part front disc brakes (first year for Chevelle),  rally trim and caps with correct DG wheels, power brakes, power steering, tinted date coded glass, gauge package, tachometer, simulated wood steering wheel, deluxe seat belts with correct date codes and black vinyl top. 

     This Chevelle’s drive train is all original. This includes engine, transmission, and rear end. Along with the drive train, the water pump, alternator, distributor, and exhaust manifolds are original.  The spare tire is the original spare that came with the car when it was new.

    The engine was completely rebuilt by T C Automotive, a specialty engine builder in Mankato, Minnesota. The components selected for the engine rebuild were as close to original factory specifications as possible. All engine systems work extremely well together, especially the cam, air and fuel systems.  The engine runs as though it just came of the assembly line. The engine was run on a dyno prior to installation in the frame.  The engine was brought up to temperature and the cam was broke in. Power output was 340 horsepower and 440 foot pounds of torque.  The car has only been driven to test operating systems and has 30 miles on the odometer.  This Chevelle runs as good as it looks and sounds stupendous!

    This is the second automobile that I have restored.  The other car is an all original 1964 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport  “409” convertible.  It was a multiple year restoration project also.  It won many national awards including two Gold Spinners at Chevy/ Vettfest in Chicago.  It scored 996 and 999 points out of 1000 points and was best in its class.  It also won best Chevrolet of the show at the St. Ignace auto show in Michigan where 900 vehicles competed. At that show, the Vice President of General Motors presented a special trophy made by GM for the award winner.  The car also placed best in class at the Late Great Chevy National convention in Kansas City.

    I sold the car in 1998 to a collector in Montana for a world record price.  He now has 80+ cars in his collection and says mine is still one of his favorites.    I believe this Chevelle is every bit the car the “409” is. In fact, John Sieberg from the award winning John’s Body Shop in Nicollet Minnesota (507-947-3120) believes it is a notch above the “409”.  John has restored many six figure automobiles from all over the United States. He also did all of the body work and paint on this Chevelle. Please feel free to call John or me if you have any questions or would like more information.  I believe the best option for understanding the value and uniqueness of this beautiful Chevelle is to see it in person.
