Don't laugh, but it did a 17.35 @ 81 MPH in the 1/4 mile...

It's a bone stock 327/275 horse, 4 barrel Quadrajet, 3:08 rear 10 bolt non posi, Power Glide tranny, true dual exhaust through stock exhaust manifolds.

The car is de tuned a bit also. I have the timing set back and heavier advance springs in the distributor because of pinging issues I had on pump gas. I left it it, but should have bumped it up for the track.

I was just there having fun. I left it in drive and the slush glide shifted at about 62 MPH into 2nd gear and it was hilarious when it shifted, so slow. I laughed every time... It's a heavier car of course also... But it was fun...

a 'glide and 3.08s in a full size Impala isn't the best combo for good ETs. I'd bet you could knock a full second off easy if you wanted to play more.

Wonder what the base I-6 w/ PG would run in a full size '67?

Yeah I know, but the car is all original with low miles. I don't want to get into changing things.. It's not a race car just a great driving fun car...

I loved reading this. A friend had a '66 Impala convertible with the same combo and 2.73 open if I remember correctly. Ran it at Milan and got into the high 16's. A lot of fun. It's not always about going fast but just having a good time.

I too like the 67’s and 68’s. Was looking at the blue 67 and the 2 gold 68’s at MCACN and was shocked by something I had never noticed before. How short the doors are. Or at least compared to the fenders and quarters.
