1967 Chevrolet Chevy II
Subtle refinements marked this second year of Chevrolet’s redesigned compact car lineup, with a distinctive new anodized aluminum grille featuring horizontal center bars replacing the previous year’s design. The fresh grille displayed either Chevy II, Nova, or Nova SS nameplates on the driver’s side, depending on trim level.
Body styles included two- and four-door sedans, a hardtop coupe, and a station wagon across three series: the base Chevy II 100, mid-level Nova, and performance-oriented Nova SS. The Nova SS came only as a hardtop coupe and featured wide rocker panels, bright aluminum deck lid trim, and bucket seats.
Engine choices ranged from a thrifty 153 cubic inch four-cylinder to the potent 327 cubic inch V8. The previous year’s high-output 350-horsepower 327 was discontinued (though a handful may have been installed early in the year), leaving the 275-horsepower L30 version as the top option. A 283 cubic inch V8 and 194 or 230 cubic inch inline-sixes filled the middle ground.
Safety updates for 1967 included a government-mandated energy-absorbing steering column and a dual-circuit brake master cylinder, along with softer interior parts and recessed instrument panel knobs.
Production totaled approximately 106,500 units (including around 12,900 wagons and 10,100 Nova SS coupes), marking a decline from the previous year as buyers increasingly favored the new Camaro, which debuted in Chevrolet showrooms for 1967.
