I hope you figure it out... I'd like to see them. If its easier to e mail them, send them to me at [email protected] and I'll post them. Rick, great info and pics there...the Canada thing could be a possibility too... Buizilla, where was your car built?

Re: 68 full size: red 427 embem
 

I'd swear I've seen some of the SS427 foil versions with blue backgrounds too. Years ago I parted out two 427 wagons that had the red foil (non SS) 427 emblems and the emblems sold for good prices at swap meets. Can only imagine what they go for now.

Joe, I sold the car to a friend locally about 5 years ago, I owned it for 10 years... it's the black one on page 2 with the hideaways on Rick's site. My friend added the hideaways, I like the look. He has the original build sheets I gave him. My friend, I think, removed the red plates for safety reasons. Car was originally sold new at Bill Heard Chev. in Columbus, GA, original owner was John Peacock from Midland, Ga. who worked at the dealership, the car was his wife's driver. I can't, for the life of me, remember the build plant. I've owned over 125 vehicles, and I regret selling that one the most... in fact, I have a contract with him that says he can never sell it again without me getting *first right of refusal*, that was part of my sale deal to him.

Jim,
Did your Bill Heard car get an emblem, license plate, or plate frame?

Re: 68 full size: red 427 embem
 

Marlin, it had/may still have a tag affixed to the trunk deck for sure, don't know about the plate, or plate frame... The trunk emblem said *World's Largest Chev Dealer* maybe?

I wish I could take credit for that site as it is a fantastic resource for the SS427 Impalas but sadly the pictures of my car on there are my only addition to the site. It is owned and operated by Mark (sorry I don't have his last name). Great guy and researcher however.

I let one of my best friends have a '67 427 425 hp silver vette cpe years ago under the same promice. He had the balls to call me up one day a few years later and announce that he had traded it for a new Hog. He said well I didn't think you were still interested in that old car since you had so many others.

He is dead now. Wish I had had a part of that but he had a heart attack.

I live in the town with Bill Heard Chevy. If I run across any old dealership badges I'll let you know if you are interested. John Peacock lives 1 mile from me and has run his own body shop for years. He is one of the local Corvette gurus. Small world.

Ask and you shall receive... Here's a 4th version, as found on 396/425blr's car. This is the variation I was referring to in my earlier post. Very cool. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif
