Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Impala Convertible
The body style of the new 1967 Impala was redesigned to give this
car a longer look. This new longer look still remained on the same
standard wheelbase. Both the Impala and the Impala Super Sport now
featured great "fastback" styling of the rear roof lines and back
glass. The rear quarter panels took on a rounder fuller look as
well. This look has become known as the "Coke bottle" look. The
grill of the '67 Impala was redesigned into a lattice-work
pattern.
For consignment, a 1967 version of the impressive and long lasting
Impala model from Chevrolet. This red respray painted bowtie
presents beautifully, has a power top, some air shocks for the
rear, shiny 15-inch polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels,
and fully original and not patched rust free flooring to button it
all up. Turn the key and start the chase, as I harken back to the
African Savannah!
Exterior
This classic spent its life in Georgia, so it's rust free, and has
well minded gaps with straight steel. Resprayed in correct Bolero
Red, the lines are just beautifully done for this years re-design.
The paint shows some peeling, faults and previous repairs, and some
"pull off" areas paint had begun to shrink creating flaws on the
surface. Faint lines of previous patchwork are showing on the front
fenders around the wheel wells. From its lattice work chromed
grille flanked by dual headlights and a shiny bumper below, to the
coke bottle undulating lines of the fenders, and the iconic Impala
trio of tail lights which were used in every iteration to this date
and would continue. Badging is all correct, a chromed trim piece
runs the length of the car just above the rockers, and ties the
front and rear bumpers together. A white canvas top is on and even
though it's a rag top, it still emulates the fastback design of its
hardtop siblings. The top is in excellent condition.
Interior
In contrast to the exterior and keeping with the top, Parchment
white vinyl covers most of the interior surfaces. The door panels
use it in embossed square and rectangle stitched look for the
uppers, and smooth lowers bordered by a white vinyl padded armrest,
actuator and window cranks. Black carpeting is covering the lowers
and this matches the floor coverings in the interior. A white low
back split bench is in front, and a full bench in back. All clean
and nicely preserved for white! The original GM dash is in factory
condition and shows as showroom with no dirt or changes to the
gauges or setup. This dash is black and has a peppering of chromed
trimmings and aluminum strips. In the center of the rear bench on
top is the radio speaker, also a standard of the Impala style.
Drivetrain
Within a simple engine bay which you can actually look down through
and see the street below, sits an orange painted block with orange
painted valve coverings in date correctand likely original 327ci
form. It is fed by a factory 4-barrel carburetor and a newer TH400
3-speed automatic transmission is on back. A 12 bolt 2.73 gear
pumpkin and axle are in back. All very clean, not unlike the rest
of this classic classy car. Pertronix supplies the ignition, and
stock dual exhaust like new is installed.
Undercarriage
When you purchase this car make sure to also run out and get a full
length mirror so you can show off the underside. Here we see a like
new fuel tank, and totally rust and road dirt free steel underside.
All very sound with front independent coil spring suspension and
power steering and power drum brakes. In back is a 4-link with coil
springs and new air shocks, as well as more power drum brakes.
Drive-Ability
She fired right up and off to the test track where I first tested
the panic stop braking and it performed bias free. Also wonderful
acceleration, smooth power steering and the power top operation was
all good too. An easy driver with plenty of highway cruising power,
and ride to match. All functions were working as they should.
A snazzy throwback to the late 1960's with a cruise look with that
too down like none other. I picture myself with my Wayfarers on and
my wife with her bandanna covering her Bouffant hairdo. Life is
good cruising through the hood!
