LaFontaine Classic Cars is honored to present one of the finest and most thoroughly documented examples of Chevrolet's legendary Super Sport lineagea genuine 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 L78 finished in its factory-correct Mountain Green over Black Vinyl interior.

For Chevrolet enthusiasts, the L78 designation needs little introduction. Rated at 375 horsepower from the factory, the L78 represented the pinnacle of Chevelle performance in 1967, featuring a high-compression solid-lifter 396 cubic-inch V8, Holley four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake manifold, aggressive camshaft profile, and heavy-duty driveline components. These cars were built for one purpose: performance.

What separates this particular example from many others is its remarkable level of authenticity and documentation.

This Chevelle is officially recognized by the L78 Registry and includes registration documentation confirming its pedigree. Further enhancing its provenance is a notarized ownership statement from the original owner, Larry Brown, who purchased the car new in the fall of 1967 from a Chevrolet dealership in Decatur, Alabama. According to his account, the car was specially ordered as an L78-equipped Super Sport and remained in his ownership for over a decade. His detailed letter documents the vehicle's original configuration, including the factory-installed L78 engine, Muncie 4-speed transmission, 4.10 Positraction rear axle, full gauge package, tachometer, and Mountain Green exterior.

Further confirming the authenticity of the car's is vin matched major drivetrain components. This vehicle retains its correct L78-specification 396 cubic-inch engine with the proper 3902406 casting block, correctly stamped partial VIN, correct 3919840 rectangle-port cylinder heads with proper date codes, correct Muncie 4-speed transmission with matching VIN stamp, and the original KK-coded 12-bolt Positraction rear axle housing equipped with 4.10 gears. The inspection also notes numerous hard-to-find original components, including the correct distributor, alternator, crank pulley, water pump pulley, and other L78-specific equipment.

Finished in its factory-correct Mountain Green paint (Code H-H) over Black Vinyl (Trim 761-A), this Chevelle presents exceptionally well. The body lines are laser straight, the chrome and brightwork complement the muscular styling perfectly, and the overall presentation reflects the care expected of a highly documented collector-grade muscle car.

Behind the wheel, the experience is exactly what an authentic L78 should deliver. The close-ratio Muncie 4-speed shifts confidently through the gears while the legendary solid-lifter 396 provides the kind of visceral acceleration that made these cars feared on drag strips across America. The 4.10 Positraction rear end ensures the power is delivered exactly as Chevrolet engineers intended nearly six decades ago.

Finding a real L78 Chevelle is difficult. Finding one with documented ownership history, L78 Registry recognition, matching drivetrain stampings, original rear axle, protect o plate, and exceptional presentation is increasingly rare.

For the serious collector seeking one of Chevrolet's most celebrated muscle cars, this 1967 Chevelle SS396 L78 represents an opportunity to acquire a highly authentic, exceptionally documented example of one of the most desirable Super Sports ever produced.
