* Online Classic Car Parts Websites: Search websites specializing in classic car parts. Some popular options include:
* Classic Industries: Known for their extensive Chevelle parts selection.
* Ames Performance: Another reputable supplier of classic car parts.
* YearOne: A large supplier of parts for various classic cars, including Chevelles.
* OPGI (Oldsmobile Parts Group): While the name suggests Oldsmobile, they often carry parts for other GM vehicles of the era, including Chevelles.
* eBay: You can find both new and used parts on eBay, but carefully inspect seller ratings and descriptions before buying.
* Specialty Chevelle Parts Suppliers: Search specifically for "1967 Chevelle Malibu parts" to find suppliers that focus on this model. They might have better stock of harder-to-find items.
* Classic Car Parts Forums and Groups: Join online forums and Facebook groups dedicated to Chevelles. Members often share information about parts sources, and someone might have a used quarter panel for sale or know where to find one.
* Junkyards and Salvage Yards: This is a more hands-on approach, but you might find a usable quarter panel in a salvage yard. Searching larger yards or those specializing in classic cars will increase your chances. Be prepared for some rust and potential damage.
* Check for Reproduction Parts: Some companies specialize in manufacturing reproduction body panels. These might be more expensive but offer a "new" part to work with. Be sure the reproduction is specifically for a 1967 Chevelle Malibu 4-door.
Important Considerations:
* Condition: Used parts will have varying degrees of condition. Inspect any used panel carefully for rust, damage, and repairs.
* Shipping: Shipping large body panels can be costly. Factor this into your budget.
* Fit: Ensure the part is specifically for a 1967 Chevelle Malibu 4-door. There might be subtle differences between model years and body styles.
* Professional Installation: Installing a quarter panel is a complex bodywork job. Unless you're experienced in auto body repair, it's best to have a professional handle the installation.
Starting your search on the online parts websites is a good first step. Be patient and persistent – finding the right part for your classic car can take time.
