Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet 'Impala' SS 427. I used quotes because a real (rare)
SS427 was not actually sold as an impala, but as its own model, the
SS427 (RPO Z24) as opposed to an Impala SS which could be bought
with a 427. There were only 2,147 SS427 models built in '67 so you
can imagine how rare it is to find one that's triple black as well.
This car was originally purchased by a young Doctor from Webb
Chevrolet in Bowling Green Ky. There is no doubt he wanted to enjoy
his passion of drag racing on the weekends when he ordered this
sinister SS427. Imagine his thrill in ticking the performance
boxes: SS427, Check. 4-Speed, Check. 373 Posi Axle, Check. Then on
to the colors: Black Exterior, Check. Black Interior, Console and
Gauges, Check. Then top it off with Black Vinyl Top, Check. Soon
after taking possession of this beauty, he blew the engine at the
drag strip and had a 'CE' replacement engine installed by Webb
Chevrolet. He continued racing this car in Bowling Green for
several years, when he then gave the car to his wife after adding
power steering and dropping the gear ratio. The only reason I do
not call this SS427 a 'survivor' is the replacement driveline. The
SS427 retains its original rust free body and interior. The paint
is 85% the original black lacquer (the hood was primed due to hail
damage) and other than the CE block and transmission, all of the
original parts were used such as the heads, carb, intake etc. The
CE block is 351 casting, casting date is April 67. Engine may have
3k miles on overhaul, forged Pistons, howard's camshaft. 2
