Thanks for posting. Personally, I'd be careful when posting stuff that isn't a document, even if documents can be wrong too.

For example, the 1968 Pontiac brochure shows 3-speed on the column for GTOs, but other brochures show it on the floor. Factory docs show none built on the column.

Lee's info probably reflects some combination of just all Impala or 427-equipped Impalas

Which must be differentiated from the SS427 'package' car.

Impala's are super-confusing with the 427 being available in the base Impala

Then the Impala SS having the 427 engine as an option.

Then the SS427 'package' available on the Impala - though I don't think Impala appears anywhere as a nameplate on that car, just SS427. I stand to be corrected on that point...

There were three such cars lined up at MCACN last November - base Impala with 427, Impala SS optioned with 427 and an SS427...all very cool cars.

P.S. - if you ever get a chance to actually eat Impala, go for it. The meat melts in your mouth and is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.

But according to Steve, there was no floor shift at all for 3-speeds.

You are correct. No where on the car that I can recall does it say Impala.

Available in two models: SS 427 Sport Coupe and SS 427 Convertible. No Impala emblems on the car.
