Vehicle Description
Full-size muscle doesn't get much cooler than this 1967 Impala. A
handsome cruiser that's ready to enjoy at the local cruise night,
it represents Chevy's top-of-the-line in terms of style and
performance. And thanks to a strong-running 327, it's a genuine
pleasure to drive on the street, not just a pretty face.
The fastback profile of the big Imp looks fast just sitting still,
and in 1967, there was no faster way to transport yourself and four
friends than this. Finished in gorgeous code F Marina Blue (which
is the car's original color), you can park this car anywhere and
use it to navigate it's so brilliant. The crease running along the
top of the quarter panels stands out thanks to great attention to
detail, and every panel was hand-fitted so that the gaps are quite
good all the way around. The two-stage urethane paint has a shine
that buffs up nicely even though it's a few years old and has been
driven on the street. Up front there's a polished grille, bright
chrome bumpers, and traditional Impala 3-element taillights out
back. We've sold quite a few Impalas over the years, but the big
blue ones seem to be everyone's favorites. And yes, it's a real SS,
so it comes by those badges honestly.
Like the exterior, the interior is simply a nicely restored stock
setup, complete with bucket seats and a center console. All the
upholstery is as nice as the bodywork, with original patterns and
materials expertly replicated, and only the steering wheel stands
out as not as nice as the rest. Beautifully finished instruments
show sharp markings and clear lenses, and there's an aftermarket
tach and auxiliary gauges under the dash. And it's so correct that
even the original AM radio is still in the center of the dash. In
back, this big Imp offers full-sized comfort even for rear seat
passengers as well as what may very well be one of the largest
trunks ever fitted to an American car. It's finished properly with
spatter paint and a correct mat, plus a full sized Rally wheel and
spare tire.
As I said, there's decent horsepower under the hood in the form of
a 327 cubic inch small block V8. Equipped with a Edelbrock intake
and 4-barrel carb, it makes smooth power, yet is happy to trundle
around town without complaint. The engine bay was prepped and
painted as well as the exterior, and that lovely 327 was dressed in
Chevy Orange with handsome finned valve covers similar to those
found on later Z/28s. Things like the air cleaner, accessories and
radiator are original-spec, and you'll also note it has power
steering and brakes, which are practically mandatory on a car this
big. A Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission is built to take
the abuse, and spins a rugged 10-bolt rear, which hangs on a fresh
set of shocks. Stock cast iron exhaust manifolds feed a new
Flowmaster dual exhaust system, but it's otherwise quite stock
underneath. The bright Marina Blue finish is perfectly complemented
by the flashy Rally wheels with polished trim rings and sitting on
225/70/15 Goodyear radials.
Big Impalas still represent a lot of car for the money, just as
they did in the '60s. This one is in exactly the right condition
for easy cruising and lots of fun without worries. Call today!
