Description[]
The Chevrolet Chevelle was a mid-sized car produced by Chevrolet from 1963 to 1977. Produced on GM's A-body platform, the Chevelle was one of Chevrolet's most successful marques. The car's name is speculated to be a combination between "gazelle" and "Chevrolet", with Chevrolet seemingly positioning this car as a smaller version of the Impala. The car was introduced in August 1963 by Chevrolet CEO Bunkie Knudsen as the Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu, for it was essentially a performance version of the Malibu.
The Chevelle Super Sport, commonly shortened to Chevelle SS, was a performance-oriented version of the Chevelle, acting as Chevrolet's entrance into the muscle car battle. The package, costing $162, featured SS emblems on the car in various places, interior improvements such as an upgraded gauge cluster, two transmission options (a Muncie 4-speed manual or a 2-speed Powerglide automatic) and a 283 ci (4.6L) Small-Block V8. From mid-1964, a 327 ci (5.4L) Small-Block V8 could be ordered. 76,860 were produced for 1964.
