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.
Monster of a car, be careful of all that power
These full size big block cars are beast. Especially the Super Sports cars that were ordered with the 409 and 427s. The 4 speed is the cherry on top!
This is a beast of a vehicle here!! That’s all I have to say about this, NICE
My first car was a ’67 Impala 2-door fastback. It wasn’t nearly this car as it was a 283 Powerglide car, Sierra Fawn in color with a black cloth interior. I paid $600 for it in June of 1980 from a Pontiac/Olds/Cadillac/GMC dealer. Still to this day one of my favorite cars I’ve owned. This one would be great, and I like the fact it has its ’67 only Rallye wheel caps and full instrumentation, but the $65k is WAY out of my league. GLWTA!
$65K is a bargain for this in my opinion. This is the Impala to have.
Wow. Beautiful. Had a 67 Impala SS same color as this, 327 4 speed. So fun shifting, it moved well, this would scream.
Bought in 1983 for $2500, sold in 1985 for $2750! Kid on the way, needed to buy a house. Steel wheels and hubcaps on mine.
Back when i was a kid, our neighbor, a WWI vet, had a light blue 1967 Biscayne with no options except for the powerglide and power steering. It is amazing how tarted up you could get these! And how much was shared with the most basic models.
They kept it for exactly ten years , and then traded in on an equally plain light blue 1977 Chevy Nova, as they no longer made the Biscayne with the 1977 restyle. An Impala was way too luxurious!
Interesting that you mentioned no Biscayne offered in ’77. Last US Biscayne was ’72 and ’75 in Canada. I was impressed that Chevrolet of Canada still offered the Bel Air in at least ’81, I have a brochure.
wicked impala here for sure. love the 427 option. the price seems fair.
Looks like the real deal. On the 427 SS, Impala wasn’t badged on the car anywhere as I recall. I believe you could order the Impala with the 427 engine without the SS option, but it didn’t come with the louvered hood.
So nowhere on ANY Z24 option SS427 will you find an Impala emblem, both interior and exterior, they were special option packaged cars.
Great car at a stunning price!
Very nice car, no doubt! Everything appears to be nearly perfect except for the chrome plated alternator. Maybe it was/is a temporary substitute, but it really jumps out in the engine photo. What a car, 67’s rock!
Growing up my dad had a new 67 Impala blue black interier to this day one of my favorites ! loved the sloped back, and this one the way its equipped !Really a great car
Had the 67 Impala in the 283 flavor and enjoyed it until I graduated college. Unfortunately I traded it off later but I still miss this car.. I remember the slop tank and the oil filter on this car was a drop in canister. As I retire I plan to shift back to something that has the keys inserted on the dash.
The dealership where I worked took one of these in trade in 1970, teal with the same interior. It was a loaded college graduation gift for a young man entering medical school who, upon starting his career, thought a more conservative vehicle would be better.
As this write-up states, muscle car buyers sought the lighter models so Impalas with the SS package were extremely slow sellers so our used vehicles manager really didn’t want it and appraised it accordingly. I considered buying it but as a 23-year-old, I also didn’t want a “tank” like that.
It sat on our lot for 60 days before being taken to Manheim Auto Auction.
Boy, in hindsight…
Times were a changin’, so they say. With 2100 sold in ’67 it was already clear that people weren’t buying them in volume. 1967 was the last Pontiac 2+2 and the Impala SS would be gone after ’69. Even intermediate muscle was under attack in 1970 and would soon fade away due to insurance premiums and regulatory pressure. I agree about hindsight but priorities were likely in most people’s foresight.
I still remember doing the new car prep on one of these in 1967. What a sweet car!
Won’t be for sale very long at that price,unless there’s something wrong that isn’t jumping out at you, beautiful car
I had a 68 427ss convert, loaded black with white top, oxblood interior, power everything, loved riding with the top down in the winter!! Great car coulda woulda shoulda kept that one!
This car is not Burgundy. It is Bolero Red, paint code RR. I suspect poor lighting is the cause of it looking so dark, but it may need a good buffing to bring out the sheen. It definitely needs a new package shelf and door weatherstripping. Could be a great car for someone ~ wish I could afford it and had a place to park it.
Have we seen this one before ?
Ended at $55,100.
Reserve Not Met.
23 bids.
I guess the buying public didn’t agree with the consensus here that this was a bargain.
Wander how much more horse power it would have if you take that air pump off and put a high riser manifold on or a tri-power set up.
Why does the engine have an O2 pump?
I believe it is part of the required California emissions system.
“Very Interesting”
Thank you
They were nicknamed the smog pump. They were often removed by the owners. Back in the 70’s a buddy of mine told me that he would start the engine on a car equiped with all the new emission control gizmos. Then disconnect them 1 by 1. If the engine kept running, in the trash they went.
Very cool. I had a friend that traded in his ’66 SS 396 on one simply because we all thought the badging was so cool, particularly the 427 script on the front fender. I’m surprised that this didn’t sell for what they were asking.
Re:BFred. Well, of course you can move all the smog devices and the engine will run fine. You can remove the catalytic converter as well which actually puts out
sulfer dioxide, which is another form of poison. Everything runs fine without the smog devices but that’s not the purpose of them. My point is that there weren’t any O2 pumps on vehicles in the 60s when they were made.
@ The Cadillac kid….You’re incorrect! Beginning in 1966, California mandated smog pumps on vehicles registered there!
yup. I had a 67 Nova SS California car, had the smog pump on it. in the trash it went! Unfortunately we took the AC off too…although I sold the AC equipment at a swap meet in the early 2000s. Of course the car was a distant memory by then. Just happened to find that stuff in the attic of my dad’s barn!
