Cant figure out how to post a picture but I went and looka t a 69 Impala SS 427 convert tonight that had a metal box mounted on the trunk floor!It said "Safety Control" and also "Gyro matic auto control".I was a foot and a half long and maybe 5 inch wide/tall! I can send a picture to post if someone will do it for me,,what is it? thanks Duane

Here it is,I am not Familiar with it.As metioned,Maybe a civilian Police Or Military Police Vehicle?

[SS427]

Looks earlier than the late 60's. I have never seen anything like that in an Impala or any other Chevrolet of that era.

sounds like some kind of aviation safty device

"The book" says B07 = police car equipment!Im seriously doubting a 427 vert was a police car so it must have been a regular option.Wonder what else came with the package?

I saw something similar in the back of a 1972 elcamino(from factory) and was told then it helped the car from rolling over? It is some type of gyro but I never understood how it would stop rollovers. Makes sense though being in a convertible.
Duane, call the owner back and tell him it is Hazardous Material(mercury) and you will have to lower your offer

I havn't seen one quite like that, but did seen one of those with the liquid mercury in it in the trunk of a 67 GTO. It also said roll control, but had a window kinda like a level to see the liquid mercury. I remember thinking what an environmental disaster it would be now if that stuff got loose. You'd never get the EPA clean up bill paid. Be careful. Schonye
