Guess I have to weigh in lol .. when you ordered a SS427 you no longer were buying a Impala as all Impala nameplates were removed they wanted to draw attenting to the engine with this package. There actully was a few SS427`s that left the factory with "Impala SS" fender badges apparently by accident they were early cars and only a handful were released. Another tid bit is there were only a handfull of Imapala SS with the 385hp 427 ever made I have heard 15 - 20 as it was a special order and not publicized as there did not want to step on the toes of the SS427 RPO. Officially the last year for a full Impala SS assemblly line was 1968. in 1969 they did exactly what the previous poster said slapped badges on a run of the mill impala on the line and called it a SS Impala .

So here's the
other guy I was chatting with last weekend.
But, Paul, some people here suggest what you've written above is incorrect.
For what you've written to be true, the VIN will tell the tale - I'm betting the SS427 was not a model with its own unique VIN. Just because the SS427 may not have Impala nomenclature doesn't mean it's its own model or that it's not even an Impala. . . hell, you've even posted links to the site that suggests the SS427 was an option package!
So color me confused!
