1 of 2,124: 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS 427

The Chevy Impala Super Sport was in its seventh season in 1967. Launched as a powerhouse in 1961, it became a styling package that could be ordered with muscle in 1962. The SS 427 debuted in 1966 and appealed to buyers who wanted maximum performance in a full-size automobile. The seller has a 1967 edition of the SS 427, which is numbers-matching and also comes with a 4-speed manual transmission. Located in San Martin, California, this powerhouse is available here on eBay, where the current bid is $50,100, the reserve is unmet, and the Buy It Now Price is $65,000.

Demand for the Impala Super Sport began to decline after the record sales year of 1965. Muscle car buyers were moving to mid-size machines, and the Caprice came along as a luxury Impala and also stole some thunder. So, it’s not surprising that only 2,124 copies of the 1967 Impala SS came equipped with the L36 427 cubic inch V8 rated at 385 hp. Customers had to specify RPO Z24 (Special Performance Package) to get it, which included a stylized hood and SS 427 badging. Both convertibles and fastbacks should be in the 2,124, with the lion’s share having the hardtop roof.

The odometer reading is listed at 5,000 on this big-block beauty, but that may be the miles since the engine was professionally rebuilt. It’s a good running and stopping car, with a 12-bolt rear end, sway bars fore and aft, front disc brakes, and posi-traction. We’re told the auto has some “amazing history,” including a periodical reference in Super Chevy Magazine. The black bucket seat interior looks great, and we’re told the body on this car is rust-free.

Some of the photos indicate some fading in the burgundy paint, and we don’t know if that’s the original finish or a redo. The seller says the Chevy has never been in the rain. And we conclude by the description that the seller might be the Impala’s third owner. This looks like quite a ride if you like your muscle cars in big packages.
