Another Bowtie Survivor: 1967 Chevy Impala SS

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

This Chevy is listed on craigslist  in Sunland, California, in the Los Angeles area. It was off the road from 1989 until recently. This Chevy runs and drives and might be a reasonable buy for $8,000. The seller is the second owner. The 327 has been rebuilt and the interior is being redone. There’s not likely any rust. It just needs paint and a few trim pieces.

The interior needs a good cleaning. The upholstery will be alright if the new covers are done well. It looks like it won’t take much to make this a nice car inside.

The engine has been rebuilt. It would be nice to know what was done in the rebuild.

If this Impala is rust free and the engine rebuild was done well, does this look like a good starting point for a project? Some of us may not like the period wheels and the interior will need more work, but perhaps it’s a good starting place. Unless that is a very bad repaint, I would try to polish it up a bit and perhaps do a bit of touchup, and concentrate instead on the mechanical work it needs. What do you think this Chevy might be worth as it is?

      Poor poor misinformed vince don’t feel bad about being schooled by the BARN FIND guys .Cuz if ya hafta be schooled it might as well be by the best.As for this Impala it looks like a good deal.There is nothing wrong with a 327 they run strong and don’t think its a problem as far as moving this car down the road .The interior looks like it will clean up ,the body looks pretty straight and solid. Yep looks like someone got a sweet new ride.

    This is way over priced. Ad has been removed. Must have sold locally as the description given here is definitely not enough. A trans rebuild would also be needed, is it a 350 or a tank buster 400? That’s just a start… Either way, this is overpriced in my opinion.

    You would need a build sheet to for confirmation of the SS status, you could get buckets seats & console on a regular Impala, and you could get the 327 in the SS, I see no reason to question sellers word. If there is truly no rust this is worth every bit of the $8000 asking price. Too bad it’s clear across the country AGAIN.

    I remember the 1967 Chevy Impala SS very well and I don’t remember anything on the hood. There were those fake square vent things on Cameros, though.

    (As to 67 Chevys. I put a plain jane one into the driver wheels of a cattle truck going as fast as a 6 cylinder Chevy would go. The speedo was stuck just below 100. I’m told that was the first year of the collapsible steering column. I was happy not to be skewered but developed a real connection to the dash. The remains of the car sat on the Taxi lot for a long time and I had to walk by it every day!)

    I think Vince has been drinking too much egg nog and is reliving a childhood fantasy in which he imagined his fathers rusted and sagging geo metro was an impala SS.

    Nice body style. A car this big needs a big engine. I’d say an 8.1 from a motor home with an LS5 cam. 500 hp on pump gas.

    I didn’t see what that guy wrote, but the SS427 had faux vents in the hood. It was an Impala, but they didn’t have a Impala emblem on them.

    Looks like a 283 2 barrel to me. No holes above front fender flags where 327 emblem would go. Still looks like a real SS, has buckets , console etc. Also has tilt column, relatively rare. Had several 67 Caprice coupes – with 275 HP 327s and with 396s. Can be great drivers.

    Good call 427 Turbojet. The fender flags alone usually meant it was a 283. It would have read 327 on top of the flags if that were the case. Could very well be a 283.

    Gee , ya think Vince will be back? All he had to say was he didn’t think it was as listed. No need for all the insults. His Dad’s car might have been more desirable then this one, but who cares now? I don’t want to hear from him again.

    My Dad bought one of these new in 1967. Gold with black interior, 327 with three speed column shifter. That car was fast! I was heartbroken when he traded it in a couple of years later.
