1967 Chevy Impala 327

Finally worked a deal with Pops and now own this ‘67 Impala. Originally a 427 car that now has a small block in it. It’s still sitting in storage, so no work right away. The plan is to leave the patina. Find some good interior to get it recovered. Then, 8.1 swap it and do lots of burnouts.

Is a 427 car special at all? Auto or manual?

There were about 2100 SS427’s made for 67. Those included the 385hp L-36 and the 425hp L-72. Ive only seen 2 true SS427’s around Mi. So yeah Id say they're kinda rare.

It is actually a 327 car as the fender emblem shows. It is an automatic unfortunately, but that’s fine for now.

You can see the outline of where it was.



And here’s the rest of the pictures I took when he first got the car.

You know what, now that I’ve done more research, this is definitely a 327 car/badge. Doesn’t change much as I still want to 8.1 swap it lol.

Was just wondering if you wanted to go that route with a 427 car.
327 auto is perfect

So that’s probably the stock 327ci still in there.

I'm wanting to say the 4bbl 327 was rated at 275 hp in '67. I remember being jealous of a couple local cars with that combo, because my '69 327 was a 2bbl and rated at a paltry 235 hp. Those 275 hp cars were a hotrod to me back then.

("Back then" was the late 90's for me. Not trying to sound older and more experienced than I am, lol)

That car doesn't look to be a real SS427, but a regular SS. The SS427 got a special hood, specific badging and different trim. Now with that said, I'm not sure you couldn't get a regular SS with a 427... but I think it required the 'SS427' trim designation.
