School me on SS427s!

[Paul Vitale]

This is just my personal opinion after reading and collecting information on this model for 25 years. Everyone has a right not to agree with me lol. I guess my common sense asks, Why would they sell a car with out an impala nameplate on it? This Model ,Package, Car has a Name SS427 It is on all 4 sides of the vehicle with the only other designation Chevrolet. As to the vin it was the most cost effective route using the standard sports roof designation. They were making a special car different and 1 step up from a run of the mill Impala SS and focusing on the legendary 427 engine. If you read the articles out there they complained

"who would pay 5000.00 for a Chevrolet? "

"ONLY the SS and 427 medallions say this car differs from run-of-the-mill Impala family sedans. Yes but Price, appointments and appearance, however, put this particular vehicle in the luxury car class."

It was all about sensationalizing the 427 mystique.

It makes perfect sense that it would be a package as they only made 2400 of these wonderful cars .. But in my eyes there always gonna be something other than an Impala ..
