1968 Impala SS427

We recently got one over here too. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
Original engine is missing, it has a 427 from a 69 Corvette in it, otherwise original.

I'm doing a coverage for a Swedish magazine on it, did the photoshot yesterday.

So nice and cool. Could you show more pictures.

In 67 and 68 Chevrolet marketing was trying to promote this as a &quot;performance option&quot; package in a &quot;B&quot; body, RPO Z24 with no visible &quot;Impala&quot; exterior or interior badging, marketing this as a &quot;Chevrolet SS427&quot; not as a &quot;Impala SS&quot; which was RPO Z03 and could be ordered with any available engine combination. Now if you ordered a Z24 package and a Z03 together the only part of the Z03 package you would get was the interior, buckets and console, the Z24 option would trump for the exterior portion and for 68 different style seat covers and door panels, 67 used the same style interior weather &quot;SS&quot; or &quot;Z24&quot;.

In 69 a Z24 would only have exterior &quot;SS&quot; badging along with &quot;Impala&quot; nameplates and a &quot;SS&quot; badge in the horn shroud, interior patterns were all the same, buckets and console were an option by this year.

While we are on the &quot;big car&quot; topic, does anyone know if any of the '68-69 Baldwin-Motion full size &quot;street racer special&quot; Biscaynes they advertised were ever built? Did any survive?

Is that the St Louis car with the original contract?

I'll ask the current owner, he showed me a pink paper of sale with the price it was sold for. So maybe it is that one.
