1967 Chevelle SS Ride Along

[@ctrain1983]

Thank you for actually getting on the car and climbing those rpms. Too often people showing these old cars never let us see or hear what they will do. Car sounds AMAZING! GREAT VIDEO

[@natural-born_pilot]

Huh? He never got on it and you’d be amazed at the sound plus performance if you did. This dude drove the car pretty gentle and didn’t really give a dood perspective of its ‘giddie up’ ability.

[@RobertSmith-js2kz]

Dude don't drive Stick had to get someone who does.Too funny!!!!!!!

[@robertforrest9021]

Needs to keep his hand off the shifter after getting into 4th gear, that's rough on the fork sliders

[@darrenbrown896]

I've never heard that..what exactly do you mean? Serious question. Thnx

[@jackmoser9455]

Yes he's right

[@sokodad]

Always rested mine on my shifter and never had an issue. Do it with my 6 speed all the time.

[@williamowens7269]

Not as bad as resting a foot on the clutch. I guess he dosen't know about T.O. bearings

[@justintharp5652]

Are u suggesting he keeps both hands on the steering wheel after he gets to forth gear? That wouldn't be as cool though- as roughing up the fork sliders with his right hand- 😅👍🎄

[@xnova3331]

My grandfather passed away this past Monday, his 1967 Chevelle SS in Marina Blue is being passed to me, he never got the chance to teach me how to care for th car or even drive it, it hasn’t been started in over a year and is sitting on a. Trickle charger. I’m horrified but excited to learn and take it to car shows in his honor

[@jamescon55]

Aren't they called triple chargers? 🤔 Plus, it's not really TOO much to having an old restored classic car. Just ALWAYS keep up the fluids and DRIVING it, NOT just letting em sit. THAT'S actually the hardest thing on them. When they get parked forever and NOT at least KEPT started every couple weeks, with at least a quick run around the block or something....👍

[@ScottStCoeur]

Hey xnova. My grandfather has the SS 396 Tuxedo Black which is on my possession. Have an experienced mechanic give it the once over. Car is worth 100k Please comment

[@Shakerhood69]

Sorry for your loss, hopefully you have had a chance to enjoy driving that Chevelle.

[@debal73]

@@jamescon55 no, they ARE actually called trickle chargers. Because the current “trickles” to your battery when the vehicle isn’t being used.

[@jamescon55]

@@ScottStCoeur 🤨, "It's worth $100k"...? What makes it "worth" that exact,kinda money? Is it a 375 HP model OR some restored "points car?

[@natural-born_pilot]

Upon my return from Nam 01/70 I bought an all black 67 SS Chevelle 396cu, 375 HP 4 bolt main, 4sd, 411 rear, and added hooker headers and Holley dual feed. All black interior with the Chevy walnut steering wheel, a real beauty and performer. I waxed it weekly and dressed the tires so It was no surprise that it turned heads everywhere I went. Most folks didn’t know me but knew the car being the only black SS around but mostly cause it blew away every thing it ran against every Sunday at the local track. After I got married and planned on being a parent I sold it and bought a new 72 SS Chevelle, 350, auto. Two of the best cars I ever owned and to this day I often miss that black 67 SS. What a fantastic ride!

[@bradbernhardt9394]

Dude you should have never ever got rid of that car...finally got one triple black numbers matching 325 hp convertible I'll be dead before that car goes

[@bradbernhardt9394]

[@glennbeadshaw727]

That's the best sound in the whole wide world

[@Gaboagz]

It's giving me OCD: the clutch is not meant to stay pressed at a traffic light. It is a transition element. Only push it when you need to change gear. Great car and nice video however.

[@jamescon55]

Yep..in neutral and right foot on the break ONLY. Then? When gettin ready to take off, THEN foot 🦶 on the clutch and pick 1st or 2nd gear depending on the sitch 😎🤘

[@Bud88883]

That's not true it doesn't matter if you hold the clutch in or not where do you get your information??

This was my favorite year when i was growing up in the 70,s my first and only chevelle was a 68 back in 78 GOOD OL DAYS

[@chefbillybaroo2056]

As beautiful as that car is, I could not have one that was not Marina blue!

[@luizchevelle7218]

Mine is Marina Blue.

[@danlevesque5437]

Just thinking about those games we played at a younger age instead of the ugly girlfriend body parts swapping it's marina blue and a lot of repairs and high milage and original transmission or a black almost mint original numners matching and low miles and 1 of 40 for special features wich one do you pick😂😂😂

[@jamescon55]

BLACK IS 👑.... OR? Yeah, you COULD have the car in Marina Blue and be like, HOW MANY other Joe schmos with a 66-67 Chevelle painted Marina Blue too. NO way... IF ya gotta be 🔵 blue? Then go Mist Blue (for 66) or the Nantucket Blue (for 67), REALLY similar.... Those blues actually have way better paint flopping characteristics (from like a blue gray or the blue green turquoise look when in certain light etc.) And hey, I do like Marina Blue too! I just prefer the other blue a bit more, and of course, BLACK IS BLACK. And when it's done CORRECTLY?.... It's near impossible to beat! (where I am from, anyways) 😎🤘🔥🤘

[@fvlok]

You will never drive my car with your foot on the clutch all the time.

[@carsonkelly2123]

Engine and engine compartment look awesome! Oh wait………

[@conanhall1]

I hate it when drivers plunge the clutch pedal down first pulling up to a stop. You should ALWAYS push in the brake first and let the engine slow you down (maybe even downshift) then the last 10 feet or so push in on the clutch so the engine doesn't lurch. I can always tell who was shown the proper way to drive a 4 speed.

[@ValentinConte999]

Yeah nice car,but I didn’t care for the gears in the differential,there to steep,if it was mine I’d change them to like a 308, more of a highway gear,mainly for the weekend cruises,I’m looking for one,but there hard to find at a decent price.my 67 El CAMINO will have to sufice for now,still under construction.

[@gaborbuti1197]

Why people r idiot and put the gearbox to first at red light to kill the clutch?

[@bobversis2105]

great looking car, great video, but you might want to get a guy who can drive a four speed better than that guy? shifting a nice muscle car for sale is an art, he doesn't have it. But a great looking car.

[@gordocarbo]

My 68 was cammed and geared similar. No need for an OD they just pull no matter what/where in the rpm band

[@Kenny-ko4hj]

Love the camero,and the vettes. But give me a 66,67, chevelle any time all chevelles...

[@larryconroy1944]

I always used a little throttle on upshifts and downshifts, it makes it a lot smoother, just my 2 cents.

[@davidsalvo9021]

My concern is that oil pressure……a little low in my opinion…..is that a 396 under the hood? I own a 66 Chevelle with a 427 & my oil pressure is always around 70-75 on a cold start but it never drops below 65 pounds. Beautiful car,,,that black paint is awesome!

[@donavan2676]

NAscar runs 35 psi at 9000rpm for 500 miles, High oil pressure is overrated (old school) and wastes horsepower pumping oil and windage.

@@jamescon55 You can absolutely build one for less than half of these asking prices if you do the work yourself. I’ve done well over a dozen SHOW QUALITY restorations of late 60s Mopars and GMs I’ve owned over the last 30 years. 68-69 Chargers, Road Runners, Darts, Barracudas, Chevelles, Novas, etc. I don’t farm anything out, and have the skill to do laser straight body and paint, engine/trans/rear end builds, chassis fab, electrical, interior, etc. I’ve built full race cars, and the list goes on. If you have the skill and don’t pay someone else to work for you, then you come out way ahead.

I had a true 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS 396 Car . THe car you have is missing the Tachometer . Which was on the upper left side where the speedomter is . I wonder if that car . Started out as a just a regular Chevelle.

[@PedroReyes-pr5er]

I think so !...

[@jimthomas1989]

Richard Maaske , it had SS dash and other SS parts but that doesn't mean anything because people can change things , And a regular Chevelle is a Malibu 136 VIN A SS or Super Sport is a Chevelle Super Sport 138 VIN

[@jamescon55]

Yeah, the 67 year only DID HAVE the blinker tach OPTION. Again, it was an option. NOT ALL 67s had the blinker tach. Especially, any of the Malibu or 300/300 Deluxe line...I "could be" incorrect about the blinker tach ONLY being an available option for the actual BB Super Sport Chevelles but? I have NEVER seen the blinker tach in ANY NON SS Chevelles, so.... And YES. The blinker tach WAS an option for 67 SS CHEVELLES, meaning? NOT ALL 67 SS CHEVELLES had them originally. And yeah, I am betting that the featured 67( in the video) is NOT a original 138 # true SS car, neither. IF so? THAT would've been the 1st thing that got described on the car. 😎🤘

[@natural-born_pilot]

Tach was an option for the 67 SS Chevelle. I owned an all black 67 SS 396 cu. 375 Hp 4 bolt main with a 411 posi. I installed a beautiful Sun Tach on the steering column which didn’t take much eye movement from road to tach when racing.

[@TwoPair72]

Man, I wished my Dad held on to his SS and I would have swapped the engine out. Why? He re-jetted the carb, adjusted the timing and put in a different cam. It would pull the front tires off the ground. He floated a valve and Chevy "fixed" it, but it wasn't the same since.
