67 Impala 427
 

I have a friend that has the opportunity too purchase a 67 Impala with the original 427 in it,anyone know how I can find out how many 67 Impalas were built with factory 427,muncie 4 speed and 12 bolt rear.I went to look at the car today,has some rust around the front and rear windows but all floors and trunk in real good shape,checked the stamp on the block after cleaning it and checked the numbers and the engine is original for the car,has the Rare SS hood with a very small amount of rust.My friend would like too know how many of these were produced.

Thanks

Bobby

Sounds like that car needs to come to Hawaii for some R&R [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Pretty sure SS427 will be glad to help out with this one

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

BBIGG BLOCK396, there were 2124 total SS427 Impalas produced in 1967 this included hardtops and convertibles...........RatPack................

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

There were a little over 2100 SS 427s made. Neat car but very expensive to restore. rocker moldings, hood insert and body parts are very hard to find, even the air cleaner is a very difficult item. There is a fellow here in Wisconsin named Jon Krogh that deals in rare parts for 67 Impalas, anyone interested in restoring one of these cars should contact him.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Been to John house years ago...He had a red 67 Biscayne in back with reverse light delete on it that I had bad dreams about !

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

BBIG,
SS427 (Z24's) are rare but 4-speed 12 bolts are actually quite common. I have 2 of the '67's as well as 68 and 69. I would be interested in the cowl tag info as there is a special code on there for the Z24 option. I do not need the Fischer body number if you are concerned about disclosing that but all other info is needed off the tag. What plant and build date are on the car as well. They are both on the tag.

Tom is right, these are horribly expensive to restore and NOS rocker moldings can cost as much as $2500, hoods with the insert as much as $3000 and SS427 trunk trim as high as $600 and that is just the beginning. Mine is on the back burner as I have more important things to do right now.

I would like to know more about your friends car as just like the LS-6 Chevelles, I have a pretty extensive file on the SS427 Impalas. Not to wear it out but these can can also be seen on www.impalass427.com . My Black '68 SS427 is on that site as well in case you need to see what the barges looked like back then.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

I had two NOS hood inserts a few years ago, wished I would have held on to them!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

The only rust I found is slight rust on the hood on the underside,hood does have the insert and it looks good,rust around the front windshield,around the rear windshield also,rockers looked and felt pretty good,trunk looked real good,floors looked ok,no rust holes that I detected,but could not crawl under car to see the bottom but what I could see it looked pretty good,a lot better than my 67 chevelle when I started on it.some dings on body,main one is the passenger door but could be fixed,again it does have all the 427 markings and logos and it all looks original too me but I am not an expert,marina blue exterior, and blue bucket interior,engine is original too the car because the vin is stamped on the front pad and it is very readable, and original not restamped,I will be glad to get the trim tag info and post it for you guys and the vin # also and any other info I can.My friend is going to trade his running driving 40 model chevy coupe for the car and get 3500.00 cash too boot,he has no money to restore the car but will only be able to make it a decent driver.Will be thursday before I can post any more info on the car.Car has a ton of parts with it,lots of original trim parts,new head liner,console did have a little crack on passenger side,has original multiplex and 8 track tape player,gauges and tach with a 120 mph spedo,not sure if trans is original or not .Also the car came out of a barn in Arkansas,and the owner that sold it to the guy my friend is getting it from is suppose to have the build sheet for the car.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Yep that car needs to come to Hawaii. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ok I can wake up now

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Bobby,
Outside of the 8-track and the Arkansas barn, I would swear you were decribing my car. Good luck on the hood insert, they can be found but are a minimum of around $500 unless you can find someone who doesn't know what they have. I look forward to seeing the rest of the cars info especially for the Z24 code.

By the way, you are amoungst friends here and you can admit this car is for you and not your 'friends', these guys are pretty understanding with us barge guys. Just kidding. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Rick

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Bobby
What is the rear Gear ratio on this Impala?
Do you know the code on the rear tube?
Did it come with anymore unusual options?
Rick

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Between SS427 and I we can probably come up with an NOS Foghorn too ! This is a neat car...get it

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

No foghorn but I do have the brass tie downs. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

I can send some rubber bumpers to protect the sides when you dock it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Thanks but I keep mine dry docked. Belair, how about you? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

"Good luck on the hood insert"

Hey Rick, must have been too early in the morning for you [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] , he said the insert was there and in good shape. That's a good thing!

Sounds like a neat car.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Yes we are dry docked too...Marina blue 67 SS 427...wow.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

You are absolutely right Bill. All these 4 hour sleep nights will do that to you. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

I prefer to refer to my 66 Biscayne as a Land Yacht, not a Barge! My land Yacht has beaten a good many small light bodied Camaros On Woodward, Telegraph, and Gratiot ave on Saturday nights in the past. I like being able to take the wife and teenage kids out for a cruise and be comfortable and yet capable of dealing with 70% of the street cars out there. Considering I walk with a cane it is much easier to get in and out of than my Camaro's. I wouldnt dream of the extra weight of a fog horn though.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Sorry MM...the Yacht designation was reserved for the more upscale Belair or Impala....Biscayne was designated a barge...we have been erroneously calling our upscale cars barges rather than the correct Yacht term.Mr.70 started the incorrect terminology I think.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

So is it a musclebarge or a muscleyacht? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

I'm just glad there is a big interest on this web sites for large cars........at least by some. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Barge,Yacht....whats the difference.
They both stink..I mean sink. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Some say Potaato, some say Potato, call it what you will, to me she is a land Yacht. The first time I ever saw that terminology was back in the seventies on a personalized plate that said LNDYACHT that was on a 73 Eldorado Drop Top in Bloomfield Hills Michigan, which is definatly a upscale neighborhood, that being the case that would make the Impala middle class, and my Biscayne poverty. The way the thing goes through 104 Octane it will have me poor in no time. I spent a lifetime trying to get the car from my neighbor, now that I got it I am not sure I can afford to run the BARGE!

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

I don't think Mr.70 has checked the weights of a Belair/Biscayne lately ...he may want to put that bulky ,run of the mill red car on a diet ! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

I think Mr. Peters is going to have to bring his L-78 to an event (with a drag strip) and we bring our LY/Barges and settle this like men. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] When are you going to answer my PM?

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Guys lets not kid ourselfs. Anybody with a 70 Chevelle SS is no lightweight. Why do you think that my license plate reads "hvychev"? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I weighed my car at the track and it was just over 4,000 with me in it!!

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

What does an SS427 Insane Biscayne weigh?

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

SS427 Biscayne weight
Marlin, that would be hard to say since they never made one. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

However, an SS427 Impala will run in the 3900-4200 lb range depending on options. Biscaynes are going to be a couple of hundred pounds lighter. There is a spec sheet on this car on the Impala web site with weights for those who can't believe it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

I would like to see the info on the cowl tag. Should have a 4D on it unless it is a doraville car, they did not put any info except exterior and interior color, they did not even denote convertible or vinyl roof. I had an SS427 convert. from there.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Oh! Learn something new each day [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I was thinking of Rich Bernat's Motion-'cayne, I guess that's a '69.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Believe it or not it really is not mine! It is really my friends car at the moment!! Again he really does not have the resources to restore the car to what it really needs to be.If he decides to sell it or if the deal falls through I will let you guys know.I will get the trim tag data Thursday ,It does have a 12 bolt rear but not sure what the code is or even where to look for the code but I will try to find out all I can.I might try to get a few pics of the car for you guys.Now understand the car is not very nice looking right now,someone painted it black a long time ago but you can see marina blue all over the car.

Bobby

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

If he decides to sell it or if the deal falls through I will let you guys know.

Now we will find out who the true big car enthusiast are. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Impala 427

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

I don't have A phone number , but There is A 67 427 SS impala at Sharp Automotive in Lewisburg,TN. I saw it this week , it's in the showroom and is butternut yellow with black interior. He had copies of the brodcast and build sheets in the windows. If I can come up with the number I'll post it if anyone is interested in bugging the guy about it.
Tommy

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Bobby is right you guys the car is not his,its mine.I just traded my 40 chevy for a 1967 ss 427 numbers matching impala.I would like to find a few parts for the car.Such as the piece between the tail lights ss427 and maybe two frony fenders.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Call Jon Krogh (262) 878-0673 He is a good guy to deal with!

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Has anyone found out any info on the trim tag on the ss427 impala that bobby posted

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

The vin tag on my 1967 ss427 impala does have the 4d on it.Please tell me more about it anyone.

Re: 67 Impala 427
 

Impala427,
Welcome to the web site but keep a low profile in here, us big bodied car guys have to keep it down. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Also, please fill out your profile so we know who we are talking to.

The all important code is there as well as tinted glass, 4-speed, remote mirror and rear seat speaker to name a few. Some have said that the "D" with the "4" denotes rear window defogger. Both of my 427's have the D code and neither have a rear window defogger. This car sounds more and more like mine every day.

Tommy, I would like to know more about this car in TN. Do you know if it is a 4-speed or auto. If possible, get copies of the paperwork as well as complete cowl and VIN tag info. Thanks.

By the way Bobby, I was only teasing about you owning the car. Sort of like, "I have this friend who is pregnant and she needs to know............" Sometimes us Yacht guys are embarrased so I was only making fun. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
