I knew this car and the owner back in 1967, his Name was Harold Sutton and we called him (Clutch), I had a 1966 275hp/327 Chevelle (that Ran in D/S) beat many 325 and 360 HP Chevelles but i couldn't beat a 375 hp. Harold kept this car in beautiful shape all the time. We street raced in North Tulsa. Glad to see the car survived this long. I'm 75 years old now.
Very cool! Tell these guys that this car is indeed what I say it is. You knew my dad. He kept his cars flawless. Most of the dings on the car happened in the garage. Any naysayers can come to starbirds hopefully and show me a tape line where the repairs are supposedly made. Thanks for your comment Bob.
@@briansutton4072 you and i both know this car is almost flawless, the nay sayers can knock it all they want but that don't change the truth that it is all original paint.
this is awesome the car is just beautiful. I can only imagine how it felt to have something like that back and those times. Also remember in this world we live in now there is always some one that know a more then the other even if they never owned or seen a car like this in person but they know every thing about it. Who cares about the negative comments and people.
Patrick this has to be one of the finest 1967 Chevelle SS396 L78 anywhere in the Country. Thank you for bringing it to us. The car is in magnificent condition, best I have seen.
I'm a very picky man and don't use terms like awesome and holy grail ...... but in this case ..... this car is a unicorn ! Thank you for the great videos !
Mark Simpson lol. Since I made this comment I have built and installed a 383 stroker with a 2700 stall th350. The car has some power now and it has surprised quite a few people. I take it to the car shows just about every weekend.
Thank you Patrick for filming and uploading this beautiful machine. I am almost speechless. You do a superfantastic job of documenting these cars. Thank you and God Bless You.
Please excuse the wind and background noise. We had no choice but to push the car outside because of the very very poor lighting. This is how it goes when shooting these types of true reality on location videos. Hope you enjoy the amazing discovery.
Correction to the old theory on the radiator. It is now proven all 1967 L78 Chevelles DID NOT come standard with a fan shroud. The VH code is a 1967 finger guard standard radiator. The standard 1966 radiator with a finger guard was designated as VM. This car DID have a finger guard from the factory. The V01 option was available on 1967s and carried the VI designation with a fan shroud. I apologize for the old theory but wanted to set the record straight.
Wow!! What a beautiful example of an L78 car! Having been raised a gear head here in SE TN I still vividly remember in 1988 at 13 yrs old helping Dad install a new clutch in his buddy’s totally original ‘66, 396/360, 4 speed, 60k miles, burgundy with black interior Chevelle. We eased it down the road... then Dad broke in the clutch! It had a factory Holley carb (?!), which I remember well the sound. Man what memories!!
So damn sweet ! I love it . Thanks for the walk through . Great back story and comments . I met a middle aged guy in New Brunswick Canada that did a barn find of a close match to this 67 Chevelle. That car was a purple color with a 396 big block paired with a factory four speed. It was the first time I ever saw a purple Chevelle before but apparently its the original color .
I work on Vintage Mercedes and i have a few customers who own time capsules cars like this Chevy. They are pretty important as each little detail is used when restoring others. The car is a great reference for some one restoring another Chevelle .
Got to love a 67 SS396. I had a black one, 350hp w/AC, loaded turn signal tach am/fm , guages, console, ps,pb and more. Owned it twice. Loved 66, 67s. Great Video as usual. Thank You..
I cant believe what finds you get in on,you must have alot of friend out there,but thst goes to show what kind of rep you have out there.Id love to have obe like hsve one like that,it would be amazing to have one like that in a 2 day car that but with all the orginal parts safey put away.Thanks once again Patrick,with out you out there i dont think id ever see cars like it.Keep up the good work if you could call finding snd seeing it work .Once again thank you againfor taking the time to show us.
That vehicle is an absolute jewel! I wish I could be so lucky to find one available to have as my own!! I had a very good friend growing up that passed away 4 years ago and we went to car shows growing up and always talked about our dream cars to possibly own someday and a ‘67 Chevrolet was always at the top of our lists! Enjoy this car and the journey of putting it back together to take it out on beautiful sunny day drives!!
Man that is so cool, thanks brother for bringing these video's to us, it's nice to see how they were back then...lol even though I'm old enough to remember. God bless.

Hey Pat is that excitement I hear? Beautiful 67, hopefully it sees the streets soon.
not the streets first , first stop needs to be the son taking a memorial pass down the same dragstrip if it still exists , back to it's roots , and family tradition !
Patrick Glenn Nichols, I watched all of your videos possible but it never ceases to amaze me of how lucky you get. You certainly have a labor of love. I can’t wait for you to come to Hazard and take a look at my 70 Chevelle. I hope you bought this one too. Big Dew
Takes me back to Yellow Belly Dragway and Green Valley drag strip. I’m shocked there were only 612 L78’s built, those 375 horse 396 4-speed super sports seemed so ubiquitous back then. Thanks for sharing this wonderful car with us. I have no doubt this is the original “real deal” as I drove a few of them back in the day.
You da man!!! it makes my day to see these great cars. You do a great job presenting these cars. I have destroyed about 2 dozen 66-71 SS Chevys and now I wish I could have just any 1 of them.
This car was treasured and the owner looks as if he's trying to get it together.He did a good job of storage.Awesome.May it appear on the road someday for everyone to marvel.
That's a cool car Patrick, my convertible has 323 blocknas well, my car was built in the 4th week of July, so many guys will try to say it's incorrect but there is documentation to prove this. My block is dated F-13-7. It took me 4 years to find the correct date coded carb! This car is amazing with some rare documentation! Not many original L78 cars left! My convertible is said to be rare piece as well, only a little over 3000 made.
What a piece of history! Oh the stories i heard from those days of racing from my dad. I was born in the late 70’s, but seeing this car on this video just puts a smile on my face! Love those A bodies.
I grew up in an identical car. My mom bought her SS396/375 hp L78 new in Milwaukee Wisconsin. The only difference to this car was hers had the rally wheels & a vinyl top. Too many wisconsin winters as a daily driver, quickly turned it into a rust bucket. She sold it in 1978 & cried for days. Broke her heart.
'67 Heaven. My favorite Malibu SS of them all. Had one. Got it out of a private party in Portland, Oregon in winter of 1977 for $500 complete except for the engine. Real SS 396 car and my brother in law had an engine in his garage. $ 300 later and that engine was mine. Got a 2nd 396 a year later for $275 and started a mild performance build of 325hp. oval intake port closed chamber heads, cast crank, pistons, 2 bolt main. Got that car to run real respectable once together. With a Melling hyd. cam with .510 lift and 290 duration I think. Torker II single plane intake with angled carb. mount flange, headers and Holley 650 spread bore with linkage actuated huge secondaries. My first total U.S built V8 hi pro engine build that exceeded my loftiest expectations for that car. I have missed that car so much over the years that honestly it tugs at my heart with regret every bit as much as my '67 427 Vette removable hardtop forest green 4 speed car as was the Malibu. Really strong 390hp. 427 just rebuilt in a 41,000 mile car. Hard to believe I paid $1,600 for it in early'73 but muscle was just not desirable at that point in time. Hot Rod magazine was all vans all the time, gas crisis and insurance premiums that amounted to legal theft. Wow! Takes me back a long way. Had a couple more really cool cars but it would have been difficult for me to save them for decades. However knowing what I know now I would have given it my best effort.
Thank you for showing that car. It just confirmed my opinion of the most beautiful car ever built. I have always thought the ‘67 had the best lines and if i ever choose to buy a car to drive, I WILL buy a ‘67 Chevelle. F***ing AWESOME! Love it!
Those are my favorite body styles a buddy of mine had a SS 396 in high school the back and side windows were all etched out, rainbows, clouds, unicorns and stuff it was the most amazing looking back and side windows I've ever seen in a car. Unfortunately the 396 was gone it was a 350 engine but it was still a incredible ride.
Thank u so much for sharing all ur knowledge and thank u for showing us so many beautiful cars. There was one looked just like this in the woods near my grandpas house. Have t been out there in years but now I want to go see if she’s still there. If it is I will snap some pics and email to u
Wow, amazing coincidence. My great grandfather lived most of his life in Eldon, Missouri in a turn of the century farmhouse on the outskirts of town. I'll bet he saw this car cruising around town in it's glory days. Very cool find.👍
Gotcha. It seems quite a few of these high horse bruisers were sold at dealerships in towns that we're nothing more than a wide spot in the road like Eldon, Missouri. My 67 was sold out of a small farming town in Texas with a population of around 400 people.
The day he bought this my dad was on the way to buy a 427/435 vette green w black stripe. They sold it out from under him before he got there. This car was on the lot.
That is too cool to get some perspective on these wicked street machines of the 60's. I remember the original owner of my car telling me about how he had to convince the dealership to order the car for him. They figured a 435 car would be a warranty nightmare and they wanted nothing to do with having to service it😁
This is a Dream Machine. I had a 66 396, 375 HP, 4Spd. One night I left the police in tire smoke, I don’t think he knew which way I went. It was a “Bad Boy”. Loved those cars! At 72 Yrs Old, I treasure the memories of being fortunate enough to have one! To this day, I regret letting it go.
I owned a white '67 396, 360 hp Chevelle. White bucket seats with console, automatic tranny. Ended up stuffin' the engine in my '57 Chevy Belair. Beautiful red 396...nice find, PGN.
I miss my 67 Malibu so much , Creme Beige with black bucket interior, rally wheels , 327 powerglide and fully loaded with air cruise tilt 8 track etc . Nicest car Ive ever owned.
I knew this car and the owner back in 1967, his Name was Harold Sutton and we called him (Clutch), I had a 1966 275hp/327 Chevelle (that Ran in D/S) beat many 325 and 360 HP Chevelles but i couldn't beat a 375 hp.
