Chevrolet would enjoy perhaps its best run with the Impala during the fourth generation which was built between 1965-70. Sales would be through the roof, especially in 1965 when they reached an all-time high. The 1967 models would also do well at 575,000 units (plus the Bel Air and Biscayne editions). This ’67 sport coupe, with its fastback styling, has had an exterior refresh but needs detailing and some interior work in order to be fully presentable. Located in Snellville, Georgia, the car is available here on eBay where the bidding has reached $10,100, but the reserve is still open.
While the platform was the same, the 1967 full-size Chevies were restyled with a more enhanced “Coke bottle” look than the 1965-66 copies. Some of the new futures that year would be in the safety department, including a fully collapsible energy-absorbing steering column and shoulder belts (except in convertibles). The seller has owned this ’67 Impala for at least five years, using it mostly for weekend outings. It has received a repaint in white and a new black vinyl top, although that may not have been recent. Everything on the outside looks good, however, including chrome parts and glass.
The interior is where most of the next owner’s efforts will need to be directed. Although the front seat looks to have been recovered, the vinyl has no pattern to it like the rear seat, which is cracking from age. And the dash pad has been severely affected by sun, damaged to the point that a new piece will be needed. The carpeting looks very dirty and even the kick panels over the rockers appear to have some surface rust on them.
This is a two-owner Impala with a 327 cubic inch V8 and Powerglide automatic. At 78,000 miles, the car is said to still run pretty well. The engine compartment could also stand a clean-up effort, with liberal applications of Gunk needed. The seller says the car comes with extra “restoration” parts, but we’re not sure if they are items that have already been replaced or yet to be. The Chevy wears a new set of tires which suggests the car is completely roadworthy. It also has factory air conditioning, but no mention is made of how well it works.
Hagerty indicates a 1967 Impala (not SS) in Fair condition is worth about $13,000 and you could potentially double that if this car could be brought up to Concours standards, Perhaps the best solution here is to fix the interior, detail the engine compartment and simply drive it. There are still quite of few of these around, although the SS396 and 427 are what people seem to flock to.
Made no effort to present the car…..
Guy can’t even clean the driveway, car can’t have done much better under his care
Dashpad sunami
That is spelled “tsunami.” A perfect candidate for one of the handful of companies that specialize in reforming/remolding NEW dashpads.
LITTLE CARS: I would be VERY interested in knowing who reforms dashpads–thanks
Front seat looks more like a taxi
I know, Gary, this Barnfinds seems to be a magnet for bench Impalas! lol
Another over priced heap. Lousy photos. Doesn’t really want to sell. Testing the car crazy market for good, old simple car.
I’m afraid that’s not really the problem going on here
HAd a 67 Impala 283 PG. Best heater ever. Extremely dependable and trouble free. Bought for $100.00 (no beauty queen) Wish I still had it.
My parents fell for a ‘good deal’ on a ’67 Impala SS.
Gold, black top and white interior/bucket seats. A ‘special order’ that fell through the cracks. Dealer salesman at church told my parents about it. 327/250, power everything, AM/FM/8 Track and fender skirts!. We listened to nothing but the Chevrolet demo tape with Lorne Greene-Ponderosa for nearly the entire first year – wishing I had a copy. Our first tape player.
Our first ‘cool car’ in my book. Didn’t work to well with 2 adults and 5 kids. Fortunately, we had a full size station wagon, pickup and a full size sedan at the time. Good memories.
Ha- my first ‘real’ car I bought on my own was a white ’67 Biscayne, also for $100!! (the girl wanted fifty bucks but I felt so bad for her, offered a hundred!)
Mine was basic 250/6 cyl, three on the tree. Did a lot of things with that car, most memorable/foolish:
Drove up Mt Washington, coming down trailing massive column of blue smoke thru the valve guides, smoke went away shortly, never came back.
A stay away from vehicle. No pun intended to the decent people of Snellville, but this ghetto machine is a travesty. Based on the outstanding photos taken of the vehicle and the surrounding property, or his makeshift landfill, this is so sad to see. It should be an eye opener to the bidders of what type of person you may be dealing with based on what you see. Hard to believe people are actually bidding on the ghost vehicle in my mind.
WOW, all those goodies in the trunk and on the interior floor come with it?
A bit optimistic….this is a 2500-3500 old Chevy at best….
I agree that $10k or even close is crazy….. but If it was $2500-3000 I would be all in. I would leave for whatever-ville GA tonight and bring cash. It’s still a classic small block 67 Impala coupe. 327’s are great engines. Plus….. it has factory air. A huge bonus here in the south. If the underside is as clean as the top….. this would be a great project car at a more realistic price. Seriously though….$2500-$3000…. it’s worth a hell of a lot more in parts alone
This car is well optioned and if restored would be a great car to drive around and to car shows if that’s all you wanted to do with it. Even if you could buy it for $3,000 the restoration costs would be a labor of love proposition. I can’t tell for sure because of the poor quality of the photos, but it looks like a GM Stereo Multiplexer hanging from the dash just below the radio. Was an option usually only found in well optioned cars of the time as a precursor to real stereo later.
As a Super Sport, these cars fell a little short. My triple black SS 396/375 horse car was a factory order special with all options but it would wheel hop badly off the line. My races were all from a rolling start, which is why, I suspect the original owner sold it to me to buy a 69 Camaro Z28.
A ‘67 Chevy is a dog. Fastback or not, it NEVER made the hit parade.
That ‘dog’ sold a total of 1,230,639 puppies.
Wow, a lot of legalese for such a basic car. Asking for “2.5% if using PayPal, car sold as is no warranty, $1000.00 non refundable deposit required, no refunds or returns, does not accept cash app for payments. Do not ask. If you want to use this your bid will be rejected.” For you guys knocking the surrounding driveway, trash and buildings — this is pretty much how I have found most of my projects down here in Tennessee. There is no universal gene in car owners to keep a neat and tidy environment for their cars or themselves!
Well Glenn,sounds like personal attack on seller to me,some have a much more “meager”or humble abode than others,I would agree car should be presented better and I’m actually shocked the bidding is where its gotten, but many vehicles on here,never cease to surprise, with lack of presentation, and bad pics.and they get bid to the moon,anyway the car is worth fixing up right and should go to a better home.
Wow , 11,000 for this ? The interior is trashed and it looks like a $99 backyard special paint job ; wires , seals and what looks like dirt all painted over in the jams .
I agree with most of the comments about this car not being as clean as it could be. But, basically, it is a very good car. One of the first things I would do it swap out the power glide for a TH350. I would upgrade the suspension and brakes, too. Then, add a new sound system—not a huge boomer, just a nice, full bodied sound system (There is a volume adjustment on those things) And then I would make sure I had plenty of elbow grease for the leather cleaning project. May have to get the grandkids in on that one.
SOLD for $13,701.
Proof that there’s one born every minute! Had one of these in black. SS 396 375 horse. It was a factory order special that even had a factory stereo multiplexer in the days before actual stereo. The owner sold it to me at what I thought was an amazingly good price. So after all due diligence and checking it out, I bought it. Found out why the owner sold it to me so cheap the first time I lined up against a 327 SS Chevelle. My car had the worst wheel hop off the line of any car I’d ever owned. Sold it a year later at a loss. Lesson learned.
