Re: 69 Impala 427 - Could it be a CoPo?
All good info!
I will be getting her on thursday night. I will check the rearend. Supposedly it has heavy duty suspension and he also mentioned that it has the "heavy duty interior" option that came in police cars, whatever that means. It is also just a 2 door car. Green on Green. Supposedly for a police offical (rank?) in Marion County Florida. Where were the build sheets placed on these cars? Also, I notice that there are different grill setups in different pictures? This one (coincidentally -sp) has the same grill as the one above in the police car.

Re: 69 Impala 427 - Could it be a CoPo?
Hi Rich. The 1969 Impala could be ordered with the 390 horse 427. In fact, all the 1969 Imapala SS cars came with that engine. Might want to check and see if this car is actually an SS model. If it is, there aren't many left and you have a rare one. Keep her original.

Re: 69 Impala 427 - Could it be a CoPo?
Steve,
Oddly enough, not all actually did. I located a '69 SS427 green/green auto in Andover Auto Parts (the same place I located a Z-16) in MN in 1979. I still have the POP for the car and a friend now owns the engine. This car had the 335 hp 427 AND Drum brakes????? It is the ONLY one I have ever found this way. Odd situation. There was no way to verify if it was a real Z-24 but the car was bone stock and still wearing original paint and had ALL the SS emblems on the car including the steering wheel. I still have the emblems off the car as well and they did not appear to be added on.
