My 1967 SS-396 Chevelle came from the factory in Tahoe Turquoise (Paint code L) and it sure looked a lot "Greener" than this beautiful shade of Blue. Do you remember what the paint code was on this 1967 SS-427 Impala? I just Love that Impala!

I kicked myself in the A$$ for not painting it Tahoe Turquoise, instead I painted it Black. Here is a couple of "As Found" and "As Completed" pictures @ Dana Mecum's Auction in St. Charles Illinois back in 2006. That's the first time I met Kwizz and TimG. Great people. Bill

Bill, I can tell you it was coded Tahoe Turquoise and the paint was identical in color to my original paint 67 Camaro. Lighting and cameras and monitors all contribute to differing hue. I wish my car was next to this one because the color would look identical. The door jam pic is of the same car with flash.

As Steve said, the lighting had a lot to do with it appearing more Blue in the pics. From the moment I saw it at MCACN, I knew it was Tahoe and it looked like it had never sat in the sun, ever. Your poor Chevelle was all weather beaten and faded. I'm sure if you had seen one in the true color, you would have gotten over the desire to paint it black very quickly.

Yes, I am very sure I would have elected to paint It Tahoe Turquoise if I would have seen this SS-427 Impala prior. The reason I painted it Black, was I had a 1967 SS-396 Chevelle in Black with EVERY option you could get except A/C in High School. I traded it even up for a 9,400 mile, Rally Green, Hemi Road Runner that I have talked about many times before on his site. History, It's Fun to re-live it when you can afford to. Bill
