Awesome cars. Are there any 67 427 cars kicken around Alberta??? There is a 68 396 caprice here in manitoba that is almost the same as yours except for the engine of course. The one here even has the SS427 hood aswell. 2qwik2c.

WOW....again, I can never see too many BIG cars. Great collection. Love that 68 body style and a Z24 to boot.

I know the car coincedentally. I used to own that one also, and I just took my trailer with a friend of mine (who I originally sold the car to in the first place) and he bought it back from a guy in Edson Alberta that bought it from the guy in Manitoba!!!

My wife and I brought that car to Winnipeg for the Northern Lights car show (many moons ago - 1992) and won the car rally!. Car is on the ImpalaSS427.com web site. I bought it on consignment from the original owners (husband passed away) and the wife did not drive. We had it painted and used the 2 Caprices for wedding cars in 1990. They look almost the same on the outside ex 427 car has hideaways, and 396 car had cloth stratobench both cars with headrests.

Could not afford to keep it back a few years ago, same old story. Car is great, ran and now still runs like a top! Thanks for the reply.

ps bought the SS427 hood on 396 car for 175.00 in 1989 and for my 427 car paid 125.00 in 1983. Slightly more now.
picture is when my friend John who just bought the car back had taken the car to NIA in SD for the 68 year!

If it was in July we could do it. But if June, we have 2 kids in school, and soccer and ...........
Would love to though, we really enjoyed it last time.
Chewy and the gang made us feel very welcome.

Thats neat that it used to be one of your cars. So the 396 Caprice is no longer in Manitoba?? Boy those SS427 hoods were cheap back in the day.

I know of a burgundy hard top and a butternut yellow rag here in Calgary, both are long term owners.

Hey there, are you talking about Doug's cars? I spoke with Doug the other day and we are trying to get him into the local NIA chapter also! The yellow convertible used to be Dwight Lee's in Red Deer. Very nice auto. Have it picture'd together with my Caprice somewhere, from the early 80's.

Do you know any more about the car you saw by Peters Drive in?
Thanks
Jim

Any more info on the cars??? Are they SS427's or just SS's??? I'm just trying to see how many Canadian 67 427 cars are out there??? I picked up my 67 427 Biscayne from Alberta a couple years ago. 2qwik2c.
