Was red with black gut, but original black car I believe. In a junkyard in S Philly off 95. I offered all I had in the world that day at 1300...went back two weeks later with the 1500 but it was gone. many moons ago...

It had an uglier bulge hood though...this hood is much cooler !!

I was working as a mechanic for Lester Ford and had to go to Ford school in Louisville when I was 18. After school one day I went driving around and found a '67 SS427 Impala sitting next to a gas station. It was a L78 with a 4 speed and had a for sale sign in the windshield. $1200. I was making $3.35 an hour then, so no sale for me.
