Chevrolet's full-size Super Sport models reached their peak during
the late 1960s, combining unmistakable styling, effortless comfort,
and big-block performance into one unforgettable package. This 1967
Chevrolet Impala Super Sport Convertible captures everything
enthusiasts love about the era while benefiting from a carefully
executed frame-off restoration and upgraded performance that makes
it even more enjoyable to drive today.
Restored between 2009 and 2012 with receipts documenting the work
performed, this genuine factory Super Sport has been transformed
into an investment-quality example that blends originality with
tasteful performance enhancements. Finished in its factory-correct
Granada Gold with a black convertible top, the car retains the
elegant appearance that made Chevrolet's flagship performance
convertible one of the most desirable full-size cars of its day.
The body tag confirms a third-week-of-May 1967 production date at
Chevrolet's Tarrytown, New York assembly plant. It is identified as
Style 16867, a genuine Impala Super Sport two-door convertible,
trimmed with Gold vinyl SS bucket seats under Trim Code 890-S and
finished in Paint Code G-2 Granada Gold with a black convertible
top.
One of the most striking features of this Impala is its rare Z24
hood, a highly desirable option that gives the car a more
aggressive appearance while setting it apart from most Super
Sports. Red and black pinstriping complements the Granada Gold
finish, while redline tires complete the unmistakable 1960s
performance look. With the power-operated convertible top lowered
and the original convertible boot installed, the car has the
timeless profile that has made full-size Chevrolet convertibles so
collectible.
Under the hood is where this Impala truly shines. Replacing the
original engine is a Chevrolet 427 ZZ4 crate engine producing an
impressive 390 horsepower. Equipped with aluminum cylinder heads,
an aluminum intake manifold, HEI ignition distributor, and a modern
serpentine belt system, the engine offers outstanding reliability
and significantly improved performance while maintaining a clean,
factory-inspired appearance. The powerful big-block delivers the
kind of effortless torque and unmistakable exhaust note that
enthusiasts expect from a serious Chevrolet performance car.
Backing the 427 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, giving
the driver complete control while dramatically improving highway
drivability over the original transmissions available in 1967. The
combination of the high-performance crate engine and modern
five-speed gearbox transforms this Super Sport into a car that is
equally comfortable on long-distance tours as it is cruising local
roads.
Additional upgrades include power steering and power front disc
brakes, making this full-size convertible remarkably easy to drive
despite its impressive performance. Power windows add another level
of luxury, while the original AM/FM radio remains in place,
preserving the period-correct appearance of the beautifully
restored interior.
The restoration paid close attention to both appearance and
usability, resulting in a car that presents exceptionally well
throughout. The black power convertible top features a desirable
glass rear window and operates as it should, while the original
convertible top boot accompanies the car for an even cleaner
appearance when the top is folded. The spare tire and jack are also
included, adding to the completeness of this impressive Super
Sport.
Finding a genuine 1967 Impala Super Sport Convertible is becoming
increasingly difficult, and examples restored to this standard with
thoughtful performance upgrades are even more desirable. The
documented frame-off restoration, factory Super Sport pedigree,
desirable Granada Gold color combination, rare Z24 hood, powerful
427 ZZ4 crate engine, Tremec five-speed transmission, and included
restoration receipts make this an exceptional opportunity for the
collector or enthusiast who wants the best of both worlds.
Combining investment-quality presentation with modernized
drivability and exhilarating big-block performance, this 1967
Chevrolet Impala Super Sport Convertible is ready to be admired on
the show field, enjoyed on cross-country tours, or simply driven
the way a great American muscle-era convertible was meant to
be.
