Being a '69 w/ L72 4-Spd, it's hard to think of a better B-Body example of the muscle car era?:hmmm: Amazing it even exists but even better is how it's such a no nonsense original.:worship: Big congrats Jeff! :beers: ~ Pete . |
Awesome Impala!!

Oh My Gosh, I cant catch my breath, What a awsome car. 425 hp, I love it.....

Love this car. That stock L72 with the original exhaust sounds incredible.
|
Jeff - great purchase...one of the nicest!
|
Wow is that ever nice! Good score!!
|
Jeff, thanks for your effort providing Bruce (xplantdad) with the materials for the members ride article. Talk about rare....great car!!!!
Bruce as always well done.... |
Incredible car!! Congrats Jeff!
|
Wow, great score! That car reminds me of my car in high school... ‘cept mine only had a 327, auto, column shift, and was a Garnet Red hardtop. So close!
Thanks for posting Bruce. |
Killer ride! Congrats Jeff!
|
Beautiful car Jeff!!!!
|

|

What a spectacular example of an incredibly rare high performance car. I think this makes three that we know of. These cars do not get near enough credit and though big still pack plenty of power to compete with many of the cars out there. Congratulations Jeff and thanks for the recent correspondence.
|
Outstanding! An example of one of the best cars GM had to offer in 1969. Large and in charge!!
|
Thanks Gentlemen for all the comments, the more I work on this car the more I love it. As you can hear in the video, the left side exhaust manifold is cracked and you can hear the exhaust leak and I have replaced the black shift knob for the correct chrome one.
|
Jeff, wonderful example. Thanks for sharing it. Great docs!
I don't think I've ever seen a real one... Regards, Dan |
love the trailer hitch in the vintage pic ! I don't recall seeing how this car was geared out back ?
|
Hey Jeff, what a great ride that is. Looks, power, and a conv. Sounds awesome, does it have chamber exhausts? Was not expecting that, wow, made my heart rate go up. Thanks Steve.:3gears:
|
Nice car... 2 questions: is that black painted steering wheel shroud center and black horn buttons original? Would have thought an Impala SS would have a woodgrain shroud. Does the shifter handle not have "Muncie" stamped on the side?
Oh and #3. Is that exhaust original? i was told the tailpipes originally exited right behind the rear wheels on an L72 car, rather than extending to the bumper. |

The trailer hitch was taken off in 1987 by the 4th owner from NJ, I would like to find another one to put back on, attached is a pic of what I need, the one bracket is still on the car. |

As for the exhaust, look at the vintage pics from 1987, it clearly shows the rear exit. You will be at Carlisle, come look for yourself. Also attached are pics from the Sports Dept Brochure |

Well it is the solids, but it has a cracked manifold that is leaking and goes away once warmed up, I have it off now getting welded.
|
Love the sound of the solids.....

Very nice wholesale invoice. How did the original owner secure that rare piece of paperwork?

Does your block have "CONV" on the back of it? |
Looks really nice in the pics Jeff! Awesome car with great paperwork also. Cant wait to see it in person.
BTw the car trailer in the pics looks familiar? lol Brent |
very nice! Cant wait to see it in the solidlifter showroom
|
CONV is on all blocks, I believe it is followed by a number designating the conveyor it traveled on after it was cast.
|
Great car, Interesting that it has a small block fan shrould , maybe it was damaged by a failed motor mount and that's all they could find.
Are the original motor mounts still in it? Should be a 3939391. |
