67 Impala 427

[T Billigen]

I had two NOS hood inserts a few years ago, wished I would have held on to them!!!!!!!!!!!

[BBIGG BLOCK 396]

The only rust I found is slight rust on the hood on the underside,hood does have the insert and it looks good,rust around the front windshield,around the rear windshield also,rockers looked and felt pretty good,trunk looked real good,floors looked ok,no rust holes that I detected,but could not crawl under car to see the bottom but what I could see it looked pretty good,a lot better than my 67 chevelle when I started on it.some dings on body,main one is the passenger door but could be fixed,again it does have all the 427 markings and logos and it all looks original too me but I am not an expert,marina blue exterior, and blue bucket interior,engine is original too the car because the vin is stamped on the front pad and it is very readable, and original not restamped,I will be glad to get the trim tag info and post it for you guys and the vin # also and any other info I can.My friend is going to trade his running driving 40 model chevy coupe for the car and get 3500.00 cash too boot,he has no money to restore the car but will only be able to make it a decent driver.Will be thursday before I can post any more info on the car.Car has a ton of parts with it,lots of original trim parts,new head liner,console did have a little crack on passenger side,has original multiplex and 8 track tape player,gauges and tach with a 120 mph spedo,not sure if trans is original or not .Also the car came out of a barn in Arkansas,and the owner that sold it to the guy my friend is getting it from is suppose to have the build sheet for the car.

Bobby,
Outside of the 8-track and the Arkansas barn, I would swear you were decribing my car. Good luck on the hood insert, they can be found but are a minimum of around $500 unless you can find someone who doesn't know what they have. I look forward to seeing the rest of the cars info especially for the Z24 code.

By the way, you are amoungst friends here and you can admit this car is for you and not your 'friends', these guys are pretty understanding with us barge guys. Just kidding. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Rick

"Good luck on the hood insert"

Hey Rick, must have been too early in the morning for you [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] , he said the insert was there and in good shape. That's a good thing!

Sounds like a neat car.

You are absolutely right Bill. All these 4 hour sleep nights will do that to you. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

I prefer to refer to my 66 Biscayne as a Land Yacht, not a Barge! My land Yacht has beaten a good many small light bodied Camaros On Woodward, Telegraph, and Gratiot ave on Saturday nights in the past. I like being able to take the wife and teenage kids out for a cruise and be comfortable and yet capable of dealing with 70% of the street cars out there. Considering I walk with a cane it is much easier to get in and out of than my Camaro's. I wouldnt dream of the extra weight of a fog horn though.

Sorry MM...the Yacht designation was reserved for the more upscale Belair or Impala....Biscayne was designated a barge...we have been erroneously calling our upscale cars barges rather than the correct Yacht term.Mr.70 started the incorrect terminology I think.

So is it a musclebarge or a muscleyacht? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
