(I owned a used '68 Impala, (paid $500.) in '74! It ran flawlessly for 11 years, until it got pollution device problems!) Presumably, the 1967 Impala design was not well liked by the public because they discontinued it after one year!
This car would have been even more special if it had a working clock! Those clocks never worked for some reason unknown to man. I've seen a car just like this, perhaps even this one, at a car cruise in Solon, Ohio a few years ago. I was amazed when the owner said that the purple was a factory color, it's the only one I have ever seen. Our 67 was Madera Maroon.
Pretty sure this outfit is asking One Hundred and Five Thousand dollars ($105,000)!! It it was a one off, MAYBE! Never came from the factory with the Corvette tri-power option. Damn thing won’t even idle. Y’all might want to reconsider the WAY TOO HIGH price!!
Notice that the commentator never declares the car to be a real or original "SS-427" car. He doesn't declare it to be a "factory" Impala SS either. So what is it, and what WAS it originally?? 1967 was the last year Chevrolet offered Impala SS as it's own separate series. If the cowl tag hasn't been changed or altered along the way, the numbers would bear out what it originally was. The car in this video was sold at Mecum Kissimmee a couple of years ago. They have been trying to flip it ever since without much success, Why??? Because with so much being altered (and modified) on it, the car is more than likely a clone, and not a very good one at that. For example, the radiator support housing spacer panel is a small block piece and the fan shroud is missing completely. Typically that's an amateur-ish oversight when doing SBC to BBC engine swaps. Owners of real "SS-427" equipped Impala HTs and convertibles move heaven and earth to keep them original because of their scarcity. And thanks to the internet, far more is known about the real ones than in years past. Cloned super cars are a big money game, IF you can find the right buyer...
A code M would indicate a Powerglide automatic car. Trans code is L. The original cowl tag is pictured on their website. Look at it, decode it, then decide for yourself what this car is and what this car isnt...
@ronwinkles2601 No, it's not! For racing yes but street operation no. At one time I owned 3 cars with that set-up & unless you put your foot into regularly, you'd have problems. That's why they didn't stay around.
