1967 Impala SS427 L-72?

Bill, with all due respect, "indications" are not proof. Since he has owned the car for 30 years, and does not seem inclined to sell it, who needs the drama?

On a more positive note, if you turn to page 39, there's a nice picture of the MOF, Brian Potter, with his new (for him) Chevelle, which won Best of Show at the Hemmings "Musclepalooza XV" car show.

----Last MCACN when I saw this car the owner saw me looking pretty closely at it and out of no where said &quot;Hey Bill, havent seen you in a few years&quot;. Back when I first moved to Chicago to take a position at Classic Motors I met Bill Wickman as half of the custom body and paint shop named &quot;Royal Coach&quot;. That was in 1976! we hadnt seen each other since 1985 or so. We had numerous high end jobs done at Royal Coach in the ten years I spent in that area and I became good friends with Bills partner, Bill Vollmer (RIP), as well as Bill W. I know theres no paperwork, and I know the chances are slim, but I also know Bill and his history with this car and trust his statements in relation to it. Since its not for sale why not just enjoy a beautiful 67 427SS?.......Bill S

I read that article on the car in the magazine, and I would have thought someone would have judged the car's engine stamping and broach marks as correct. The magazine also refered to judging by muscle car and corvette nationals (a sponser here) as being correct (and I think they would look at the pad closely).

I think its real and we should appreciate respecting the car as its presented. If it comes up for sale, then its a different story, and you have to look at the car seriously and nit pick it if it is really a one of one.

For any of you that are interested I think this car will be crossing the block at the Mecum auction in Indy on Friday May 19
