Awesome cars. Are there any 67 427 cars kicken around Alberta??? There is a 68 396 caprice here in manitoba that is almost the same as yours except for the engine of course. The one here even has the SS427 hood aswell. 2qwik2c.

I know the car coincedentally. I used to own that one also, and I just took my trailer with a friend of mine (who I originally sold the car to in the first place) and he bought it back from a guy in Edson Alberta that bought it from the guy in Manitoba!!!

My wife and I brought that car to Winnipeg for the Northern Lights car show (many moons ago - 1992) and won the car rally!. Car is on the ImpalaSS427.com web site. I bought it on consignment from the original owners (husband passed away) and the wife did not drive. We had it painted and used the 2 Caprices for wedding cars in 1990. They look almost the same on the outside ex 427 car has hideaways, and 396 car had cloth stratobench both cars with headrests.

Could not afford to keep it back a few years ago, same old story. Car is great, ran and now still runs like a top! Thanks for the reply.
Jim

ps bought the SS427 hood on 396 car for 175.00 in 1989 and for my 427 car paid 125.00 in 1983. Slightly more now.
picture is when my friend John who just bought the car back had taken the car to NIA in SD for the 68 year!
