The 1964 Chevelle, while initially offered with a lackluster six-cylinder engine, soon evolved into a performance powerhouse. While the base 194ci engine was suitable for everyday driving, it paled in comparison to the optional 230ci six-cylinder or the potent 327ci V8.
The latter, paired with a four-speed manual transmission, transformed the Chevelle into a true muscle car, raising it from a mere family sedan to a performance-oriented machine. This 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport is a fascinating piece of automotive history.
Originally equipped with a six-cylinder engine, its first owner recognized its potential and swapped in a powerful 300-horsepower 327 cubic-inch V8. The car’s original Raven Black paint and sharp white interior have aged gracefully, with the metalwork remaining solid and free of significant rust.
While the Chevelle isn’t entirely original, having undergone modifications like a rear-end swap and the addition of an aftermarket cassette player, its classic styling and potent V8 engine make it an attractive proposition for enthusiasts.
Currently up for auction, this Chevelle has already garnered significant interest, with bidding surpassing $15,300 in just a few hours. With six days remaining in the auction, it’s likely the final sale price will be substantially higher.
