1967 Chevrolet Facts and Specifications
General Year Information – 1967 Chevrolet Full Size Car
The 1967 model was redesigned with enhanced Coke bottle styling that featured front and rear fender bulges. The car appeared larger and more upscale and Chevrolet brochures showed “luxury models” as a designation for Impala 4-doors and all Caprice 2- and 54-doors. The L72 427 HP 427 CID V-8 engine was not available in 1967, leaving only one 427 big block, the 385 HP L36 Turbo-Jet V-8 as optional, along with the 325 HP 396 and the 327 275 HP. The entry level power plants were still the 155 HP I-6 and the 195 HP 283 CID V-8. A dual-master brake cylinder was now standard, while front disc brakes were optional. The three-speed Turbo Hydramatic transmission – previously only available with the 396 and 427 CID V-8s was now optional with the 275 HP 327 CID Turbo Fire V-8.
The Caprice model line was unchanged, the Impala model line continued as before as did the Bel Air and Biscayne models. Big news was that the Impala Super Sport returned as a separate line. This year the Bel Air featured triple taillights unlike Biscayne’s dual units. The 1967 Caprice now had revised grilles and taillights, and optional front fender lamps which illuminated with the headlamps, as well as a revised instrument panel with round instruments, and the steering wheel was new.
The “100 millionth GM car” was a light blue metallic 1967 Caprice coupe assembled on April 21, 1967, at the Janesville, Wisconsin plant. New safety features were built into full size Chevrolets, including a fully collapsible energy-absorbing steering column, side marker lights, and shoulder belts for closed models.
In a strange move, the L-72 425 HP 427 CID V-8 was removed from the full size car options list. It was only available in the Corvette.

The SS 427 was announced as as special SS Model. This was part of Chevrolet’s SS Marketing strategy where each line had a “top dog” SS model, for example: SS 396 Chevelle, SS 350 Camaro, and even a Nova SS 327. Of course the SS 427 was the top of top dogs with 385 HP, special suspension and a unique hood. See the 1967 SS Brochure, HERE.
In a strange decision, the 425 HP 427 CID V-8 was removed from the engine options in the full size car line.
