1967 Impala SS427 L-72?

[mrays]

This car is now for sale in Hemmings for $275K so it must be real! It has one of the longest writeups I've ever seen and is quite an entertaining read. For all the facts pointing out why it's real, the TH400 code on the Trim Tag, the repainted tach yellow & red lines and the TH400 transmission crossmember brackets are never mentioned.

I guess Ivan didn't buy my details and facts. Some folks will continue to drink the Kool-Aid even when they know how bad it is for you. Like I said, not only is is not an L72, it's not a 4 speed car either. One thing I did not even address is that while I did acknowledge that he was correct regarding the fact that a couple of plants did not use the "4D" on the tag, unfortunately, the plant where his car was built, did use it, so the fact that there is no 4D on his cowl tag eliminates this car even being a real Z24 car on top of it all.

What comes to mind for me is the old adage &quot;if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull$hit&quot;.

I know the NCRS Historical Document Services doesn't address Impala's, but wouldn't records exist as to how this car was ordered potentially?

No, not unless you had the docs from when the car was new. Even if he did have docs, they would show that the car is a fraud, so the paper would conveniently disappear I'm sure.

Pure BS fraud cars are not the same as cars w/ facts being debated by the genuine enthusiasts and it's just plain wrong how innocent names get dragged into these stories and schemes.

The car would have been better off being driven to my Daughter's high school every once in awhile.

That has GOT to be one of the worst written &quot;for-sale ad&quot; I've ever read. I think I've said this before but when you make people's head hurt wile reading your description, it really does take away from it's credibility. I think it may have been written by the owner of the '69 L-72 SS 4-spd I was chasing!

Is this the car that was in the collection in Vegas?? But i think I remember that was an L-89 car?? probably wasnt a 67 I guess?? Was it called the Imperial collection I think? I believe it was in the basement of one of the casinos... not the same car I guess...?????
