Joe Sapp's (JHS) 1969 SS427 Impala Custom Coupe!

[SS427]

I know the only time I got recognition was when I drove mine to the beach and that was ONLY because it was a convertible. My coupe won many a street race and that did not even help nor did the three 1983 magazine features. People just did not consider the big cars much of anything.

I remember the two times I visited Super Chevy Sunday at Indy. Very few people had a clue what it was or cared. The second year I went (1983) I parked next to Floyd Garret's '69 SS427 and a few more people noticed but still no clue. It honestly has only been in the last few years that people have noticed these cars.

Thanks for sharing such a unique car....It reminds me of a similar '69 Impala SS I owned back in the late 80's in California. It was a 390 hp 427 with 3 on the tree with a factory "shifter delete" plate on the console. Still have the build sheet....I guess the original owner forgot to check the transmission option box!
