1967 Chevrolet "Impala" SS 427. I used quotes because a real (rare) SS427 was not actually sold as an impala, but as its own model, the SS427 (RPO Z24) as opposed to an Impala SS which could be bought with a 427. There were only 2,147 SS427 models built in '67 so you can imagine how rare it is to find one that's triple black as well.
Bought from this site a few years back from Chris. This SS427 was exactly as described by him. ---> Ad from 2017 https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...ighlight=SS427 This car was originally purchased by a young Doctor from Webb Chevrolet in Bowling Green Ky. There is no doubt he wanted to enjoy his passion of drag racing on the weekends when he ordered this sinister SS427. SS427, Check. 4-Speed, Check. 373 Posi Axle, Check. Black Exterior, Check. Black Interior, Console and Gauges, Check. Then top it off with Black Vinyl Top, Check. I will say that the only reason I do not call this SS427 a "survivor" is the replacement driveline. The SS427 retains its original rust free body and interior. The paint is 80% the original black lacquer (the hood was primed due to hail damage) and other than the CE block and transmission, all of the original parts were used such as the heads, carb, intake etc. The CE block is 351 casting, casting date is April 67. Engine may have 3k miles on overhaul, forged Pistons, howard's camshaft. 2 Buildsheets as well as original POP, period pics from the Doc racing, and the proper 4D on the trim tag along with the unrestored status all work together to authenticate the pedigree of this car. Easily one of the rarest cars of its era and one of the most sought after (when you can actually find one available). Add in the super rare triple black, and well desirable just does not cut it. This SS427 has a rust free straight body with excellent body lines. You'll notice that it has phenomenal Gaps and Fit of all the panels. To finish off the period look it's sitting on a set of original Crager S/S rims (original hubcaps which have never been on the car are in the trunk along with the original jack and spare which have also not touched the ground) . Likewise the fit on the interior of this SS427 is nothing short of awesome. The doors do not sag and everything shows little wear. The seats have two spots (on each one) where the seam threads have worn through. It has the bucket seats and console which houses the correct original Four Speed Shifter and (rare) console. The Speedometer, Tach all are working along with the fuel, oil, temp, and amp gauges. 115,000 miles. In short, this is one of the most desirable muscle cars of its era, in one of the most desirable color combinations in "almost" survivor condition. This car gets more attention at car shows then almost any frame off trailer queen. People gravitate to it like moths to a flame asking if its "real". Ill try and get some fresh pics but the car is unchanged other than a new (repop) fan shroud. Runs great and driven in 2017 and 2018 to Crusin' the Coast 60 miles away and driven for a full week while at the show, and then back, never any issues. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The car is on Ebay right now as well as here and a few other places. $37,500 /Rich

Crazy to think that low $30's could get you into a factory 427 car with 4 gears and a great color combo. Once again, the timing is awful for me, but this seems to be a whole lotta car for the money.

I saw this car listed on another site. Given that the price was higher, I’m guessing that it was an unauthorized posting? They even used some of the photos in this thread.

Wow... They even used my description. I did get a call from someone at Classic Deals a while back that asked permission to market the car for sale for a 10% markup, which I said they could. Don't know who auto trader is, I'll buzz them. Thanks for the heads up!.
EDIT- Ok I see now, Classic Car Deals is Auto Trader. 49k huh? Some one should jump on this for my sale price! ![]() /R
