A modified 327-powered 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe is currently drawing bids on Hagerty Marketplace, with the auction sitting at $10,000 across seven bids as of this writing. Bidding runs through Wednesday, August 19, and the car, offered by a seller in Marengo, Illinois, comes with a clean Illinois title in hand.
Chevrolet introduced the Chevelle for 1964 as a mid-size answer to the era's growing appetite for personal performance cars, and 1967 marked the final year of that first-generation body style before a full redesign arrived for 1968. The chassis tag on this car decodes to a Malibu V8-series two-door Sport Coupe built at Chevrolet's Atlanta assembly plant, one detail among more than a hundred photos documenting the car inside and out.
Power comes from a 327-cubic-inch small block fitted with Vortec cylinder heads, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and an Edelbrock carburetor, the latter freshened with a rebuild in 2024. Behind it sits a TH350 three-speed automatic that was overhauled with a shift kit in 2022, spinning a 2.73-geared open rear axle. According to the seller, the engine work dates back to 2016, though the exact mileage covered since then isn't documented.
The Chevelle wears a two-tone repaint from 2017, finished in Ford Molten Orange with Hyundai Pearl White stripes. Previous owners also swapped the factory bench seat for bucket seats and a center console, while the chassis has been updated with a front disc brake conversion, aftermarket sway bars front and rear, American Racing wheels, and a set of Marshall Instruments gauges. Recent service includes refreshed front and rear suspension bushings and ball joints, along with new brake lines, a brake booster, and a master cylinder. The seller also notes some expected wear for a car this age, including rust in the lower front fenders, paint chips near the windshield and doors, and a prior repair to the floor sheet metal.
Hagerty Valuation Tools offers useful context for shoppers trying to figure out what this Chevelle might be worth. A numbers-matching 1967 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe with the factory L79 327/325hp engine currently prices out at roughly $35,000 in number-3, or Good, condition, while a coupe with the milder 283/195hp engine lands closer to $17,200 in the same condition. Since this car pairs a non-original 327 with a driveline and interior that have both been modified from factory spec, it won't slot neatly into either figure, and modified cars like it typically trade at a discount to numbers-matching examples unless the build quality and documentation are exceptional. Still, the disc brake conversion, rebuilt transmission, and freshened carburetor suggest a car set up to be driven rather than trailered.
With the high bid at $10,000 and about a week left on the clock as of this writing, there's still time for the price to move before the auction closes. Shoppers who like the idea of a modified first-generation Chevelle but want more background on the model may want to read Motorious' deeper dive into the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle, while fans of Hagerty Marketplace's rotating cast of Chevrolet listings can check out a recently featured 1998 Corvette Pace Car convertible. Buyers cross-shopping outside the Chevrolet lineup can also see how Hagerty's valuation tools apply to a 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am currently listed on the same platform.
