Confused seller but LD suffix is correct for a '69 B-Body L72 stick car.
Too bad it wasn't a Biscayne!

The guy has tried several times to sell that on the Impala SS427 website, without success. Might have been on eBay, too, but I'm not positive about that. I believe another factor is that he doesn't have a title for it.....some crazy story about that IIRC.

He's still trying HARD.....spoke with him, for an hour and a half ...... Couldn't get him off the phone. Nice guy though. Really believes his car is &quot;COPO-like&quot; rare. I think it could be beautiful, and cool, but a pit.... Gonna go take a look anyway, only a 45 min ride.

I got an hour and a half worth of &quot;facts&quot;. We'll see. If price doesn't come down around half, guess we'll have another COPO clone....that's his plan.

Re: 427 impala
 

Painting the lifter galley woul allow the oil to drain back to the pan faster on a smooth surface. Not sure if it worked or not, but all us east coast guys did that back in the 70's. I believe the question was why would that be done to an orig 54k car? Probably has been rebuilt at least once.

If he's to be believed, along with the previous owner, it's never been touched, except for the carb being stolen. Not that I'm in this for investment purposes, but I don't see ever recouping the resto cost.
