Default 69 SS Impala 427 convertible

i'm curious as to what everyone on here thinks of this car? with 2,455 Impala SS's built in 69 and 10% being convertibles, do you think that this car will/does have the potential to be very desirable? the market isn't showing it right now. (i have seen them restored in the 30K range). the reason i ask is the opportunity might be rising to purchase one. specs are: Garnet Red, parchment interior, auto with the 427/390. i know these bad boys came with the 427/425 but i have only seen 1 in convertible form. replys would be greatly appreciated!

I may have mis spoke..I know 67 SS427 is impossible to find but I was thinking of a 68...very unusual domed looking hood which is hard to find too....I am not sure what a 69 SS 427 hood looks like now that I think about it...

The 69 ss 427 impala convertibles are definetly rare and desirable, but I have noticed on E-bay and other places that the 69's just aren't bringing the same money as the 67's or some 68's. My favorite SS 427 is the 67. It's a beautiful car and that hood OH man. There are 67 SS427 hoods around still. Most that are left need some rust repair but still bring some good money. For a decent 67 hood with the molding(insert) they are around $3000.+. If you can find one for cheaper you got a good deal. Definetly a desireable car 69hurstsc.

Nice bunch! Makes me wish I had not sold mine so I could cover the costs of moving the shop!
