Isn't there something sketchy with this car?
|
Lots of sketchy chatter on the Impala SS427 message board a while back. Supposedly no '67 L72 full size cars were ever built. :dunno:
|
|
Back around 1985 there was a '67 Impala SS with a L72 and a 4 speed for sale at a gas station in Louisville. I could have bought it for $1200. The engine had fresh paint on it, so probably not original to the car. I wish I could go back and buy it now.

Fake car
It’s a clone, there were no 1967 Full Size Cars built with an L72. GM records show 0.

'None built for retail sale' may be a better statement considering John Z's '67 L72 Engineering Test car w/ 'Special Order' tag as quote below from this past thread... https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...=106778&page=5 :beers: ~ Pete Quote:

Problem Clone
Yes, we thoroughly debunked this car on the SS427 site in 2015. The car is a comedy of errors. Very very easy to prove false.
Unfortunately, the Hemmings cover article made a lot of people believe it is real. |
So how did it get a gold award at MCACN with a 992 out of 1000?
|
We spent some time discussing that as well. Even Alan Colvin at one point seemed to find the car interesting. Perhaps at MCACN the car was being judged for restoration quality and correctness in terms of how it should be built with it's claimed options rather than authenticated to those options? Keep in mind the scarcity of available late 60s Impala experts on the order of detail that we encounter with Chevelles and Camaros.
We got into a big discussion about this car because this type of thing is so important to the integrity of the hobby, but it lasted months because the owner just didn't want to accept what we were saying and showing. I'm tempted to post some detail pictures of the car and show you guys what all the fuss is about. |
I say post 'em up!
