Re: What is it?
Looks earlier than the late 60's. I have never seen anything like that in an Impala or any other Chevrolet of that era.

Re: What is it?
"The book" says B07 = police car equipment!Im seriously doubting a 427 vert was a police car so it must have been a regular option.Wonder what else came with the package?

Re: What is it?
I saw something similar in the back of a 1972 elcamino(from factory) and was told then it helped the car from rolling over? It is some type of gyro but I never understood how it would stop rollovers. Makes sense though being in a convertible.
Duane, call the owner back and tell him it is Hazardous Material(mercury) and you will have to lower your offer

Re: What is it?
I havn't seen one quite like that, but did seen one of those with the liquid mercury in it in the trunk of a 67 GTO. It also said roll control, but had a window kinda like a level to see the liquid mercury. I remember thinking what an environmental disaster it would be now if that stuff got loose. You'd never get the EPA clean up bill paid. Be careful. Schonye

Re: What is it?
I really don't think that trunk item was part of the GM RPO-BO7 police package.
I just pulled some Ambulance & Police Brochures from 1967-73 & none of them mention it.Just springs & suspension etc.,but no trunk mounted Gyro with mercury. Here's a link.
