Default Re: 1967 Berger SS427 Impala convertible

OK- here's what I know. The car was ordered and built for a VP of the Chevrolet Div. After driving the car for approx. 2,500 miles it was put on a "factory offical list" of cars available to select dealers. Dale Berger ordered the car off the list for himself. I want to mention that before Berger did anything to the car it came with Astro-bench seats in the front and column shift. Someone told me that a front bench seat was not available in a SS427 Impala. Any input on this subject? Back to my story, Berger removed the SS427 emblem from the middle of the grill, installed 427 numerials on both sides of the raised portion of the hood (like a '67 Corvette) 427 numbers on the trunk below the Chevrolet script and changed the exhaust by installing long 3" chrome pipes that exiting straight out the back with the ends extending slightly past the bottom of the rear bumper.I mentioned the car is white with Marina Blue interior and a blue top. One other very distinctive option is Marina Blue accent stripes that go along the upper sides of the fenders(factory-200 cars had them).
Sadly the car needs a paint job otherwise I would like to bring the car to one of your meets.

My mother bought a 66 ss427 from Berger back when the 67's where just comming out.It was marina blue with black top and interior,buckets auto on floor,AC power everything.Same as above,factory offical car.She had no idea what she bought.She just wanted a vert.Us kids where almost grown so no more woodgrain stationwagons.Sorry to say it was totaled a couple of yrs later on 28th st. just past what was then Rogers plaza.Don't know if it's still there or not.I beleive they were pulling out of a big boys resturant and some kid in a GTO that he brorrowed from a friend t-boned the car allmost killing my dad.

I wish. When restored, mine will look like the attached without the eyebrow stripes.
