The Chevelle was introduced in the fall of 1963 for the 1964 vintage. It was a mid-size A-Body model, common with the Buick Special and Skylark, the Oldsmobile F85 and Cutlass, and the Pontiac Le Mans, Tempest and GTO. Equipped with a chassis whose wheelbase of 112 inches placed it between the imposing Impala and the smaller Nova, it was equipped with V8 of 327 cubic inches (5.3L) or 4.6 liters. There were also chevels with two 6-cylinder engines (3.2 and 3.8 liters). The Chevelle was available in 2 finishes: the base 300 model and the top-of-the-line Malibu. The latter having from the first year the mythical SS (Super Sport) package which was a mainly aesthetic option for 1964 with body rods mounted on the middle of the wings and specific wheel covers as well as separate seats and a center console among others. The Chevelle was a popular model: between 1964 and 1967, more than two million copies, all variants combined, were produced. However, to really compete with its direct competitors, Chevrolet had to respond with more muscle. Thus was born in 1965 a version equipped with a 396 ci V8 with a power of 375 horsepower.
