I thought because you referenced 427/450 when you discussed your impala it may have been one of the seventeen L72 purported to be installed in big chevies that year, per GM engine records.

I think that Jeff was referencing 427450...a member here on the site....at least that's the way I took it!

Yes.. I think Jeff was talking about me also. I haven't seen Jeff in many years but know him and his car. He has a very nice Camaro. I remember very well when Jeff first purchased the car, I felt it was one on the best Camaro's in the South Jersey area (next to mine of course).

Alan Colvin in his book, "By The Numbers" states that there a handful of L72 put into the Z24/4D cars, BUT it has never been documented or have any ever showed up. Possible a COPO order? Still a mystery.

Bob (bwag) where did you find them KOOL pictures of Jeff’s Camaro. If you have any more
please post them.

I've heard about 17 alleadged L72 1967 "fat cars" but have never seen proof.If they did exist what would they use for a tach? There is only two tachs available for a 67(5500redline for a L36/427 and 5000redline for everything else 396 and smallblocks).Also IF they were COPO's where in the GM inventory would they get a L72.The COPO system as far as I know used "existing" parts in its inventory and routed them to assembly plants not normally used as rpo's and necessary assembly components(unless they mismatched 427/435hp and 396/375hp components together?)This is a mindbender as the L72 was avaiable in 66 and 68 but not in ANYTHING in 1967.My head hurts, where's my meds?
