Nice car! I don't think Warren and I have more than about five black 67 Z24s in the registry.

Have you been over to impalass427.com? There is a great group of SS427 owners over there and they'd love to see your car!

[TAR6569]

Can you post a picture of the cowl tag on the firewall by the master cylinder?

[SS427]

Nice! Love it!

Love that car... right down to the patina, original cracked weatherstripping and especially the Cragars!

You made my day. Thanks for posting this car!

[SS427]

This is one I sold around 2004 though it was blue when I sold it. Miss these Z24's!

[TAR6569]

That is why your handle is SS427, isn't it? LOL

[SS427]

Yeah. Had I known how heavily I would be into LS6's in later years I would have come up with something different.

Hey Rick, I never knew about your affliction with BIG cars. I have even more respect for you now. Why not consider expanding your restoration services? The '65-'70 big cars are exploding in the hobby today and most all of the owners are interested in correct restorations. I don't know where they go??? No names come to mind.
In my little part of the hobby, people don't seem to care about the history of the cars or preserving them as produced. 95% just want a resto-mod. As long as they have those funny shaped valve covers, that's all they need. It can get really depressing.
Anyway, stop by the 409 display at MCACN if you get a chance.

Verne, I thought we even talked about it before. I have likely owned over 30 427 Impalas and had 8 in my driveway the day I got married in 1981. I had a 67 Sport Coupe Z24, 68 Custom Coupe Z24 and a 69 convertible Z24 until just before I moved to Illinois. One of the 67's is the one I pictured above but was blue when I owned it. As far as restorations go, I pride myself in doing correct restorations not just pretty ones and even though I have owner many 427 Impalas, that was before everyone was anal about correctness and I know very little about these cars (internally) in reality as most were owned in the 70's and 80's when that stuff did not matter. If I knew people would bring their big cars to me I would learn them the way I have studied and learned the 70 Chevelle.

I will make time to stop by your display, you can count on it.

[Jim Ferron]

I had a set of those wheels 30 odd years ago [maybe 40 odd] But I knew them as Venture...made by Foresight...

Geeez...sounds like some dude that I know in AZ's house <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

[Tarrytown SS427s]

Was going through some pictures this morning and thought this one was cool. My friend's 68 L72 custom back in 68 or 69. Looks to have the same wheels!

[cwc]

Thanks for all the compliments,they are really appreciated.ive had a member here inquire if it's for sale and that has kind of got me in the notion of selling it.several local people who have known the car since new have asked and I've always turned them down,but I've been reconsidering.im just not sure what it's worth

[GTO_DON]

I would be interested in buying it from you too if you want to sell it. I'll even put my wheels on it and make it like it was back in the day.
Pm me and I'll give you an honest opinion on its value and make you an offer. I know these cars pretty well.

[SS427]

Damn. I would love it as well.......

[black69]

this is one of my favorite cars. I hope you dont sell it cheap, or sell it at all. I don't think anybody could find a car easily like this with documentation and that color combo. I have seen others in different colors, but the black is the best (evil looking).

I would to see it in my garage sitting next to my triple black 69 Camaro survivor!. Super cool car! Hang on to it because it will be hard to top that!

[cwc]

Thanks for all the compliments guys,Its very appreciated

[DW31S]

Rick, I hear you loud-n-clear on owning many cars throughout the years. I, too, have owned many, many cars that &quot;didn't matter&quot; much when I had them. The restorations back then were more for &quot;eye candy&quot; than for the &quot;correctness&quot;. I remember back in the '80s I did a small block '69 Pace Car and I bought some incidentals from a fellow in northern VA that had &quot;the&quot; (don't know if there were more than just this one at the time; still don't) P-O-P machine with tons of blank tape and cards. He, myself, and a &quot;then&quot; well-known Camaro guy were joking about how nobody would ever fake anything for a small block car, let alone something as trivial as a P-O-P for a small block anything.......I'm not sure that the &quot;then&quot; owner of the P-O-P machine ever did make any of them; it was explained to me that he kinda had it as a novelty. My word!, how this hobby has changed (and in some aspects maybe NOT for the better).

[flyingn]

its a beauty. Love the '427' letters and how they call out the mighty 427.

[SpaceLord]

That's great! I'm a mopar bleeding person, but love all nice cars. There's plenty on this site.

Hey guys and gals, happy 4-27 day! I’ve had my eye on this car for a long time and last fall I finally parked it in my garage.

Don once mentioned that he had an original set of wheels like this car had back on Day Two, but Don hasn’t been on this site in a long time. Anyone know what happened to Don?

Magnificent! How many honkers in your mirror while perving on that beyond sexy hood?

[SS427]

Something about Cragars and big tires on these 67's just look so perfect!

[67ssmn]

best hood chevrolet ever made, hard to beat a straight black car!!!

[RPOLS3]

Congratulations Helmut - love that car. You are the perfect caretaker for it.

[Tenney]

Good score!

[dykstra]

Congrats! Love this car!!

[napa68]

That's killer Helmut!

[60sStuff]

Totally agree on the coolest hood ever made.

[markinnaples]

Wow, I've always loved that car, congratulations! There was a twin to this in Pittsburgh when I lived there 25 years ago.

[L78M22Rag]

When I was sixteen, my sister’s boyfriend (now my bro-in-law) had this center-fold pinned up in his garage. I drooled over that… and now I finally get to sit and listen to my own SS427 idle!

[Xplantdad]

Helmut, very cool!!!! :headbang::headbang::headbang:

[737Driver]

Good looking heap✌️

[cwc]

i still cant believe you pulled off the trailer hitch that the original owner installed to flat tow his 55

[NorCam]

Nice score on the car Helmut. Always liked this car and think it has such a killer look to it.

Looks like Northmount @ 14th in that late night picture you took in the NW. :headbang:

[BJCHEV396]

Congrats Helmut.She's a beauty!!

[L78M22Rag]

Those of you that know this car, knew that it had very noticeable hail damage on the trunk lid and to a lesser degree on the tops of the fenders and quarters. I left the car with Spencer at Dented Paintless Dent Repairs in Calgary for a week. By the end of the week he had taken a special interest in the car and asked if he could work on the car a bit longer… sure! Well, after two weeks, he managed to get virtually all of the hail damage out of the original factory paint. Here’s a HUGE shout out to Spencer for his incredible work!!
I couldn’t be any happier…. Thanks!

[RPOLS3]

Awesome!

[SS427]

Those PDR guys are indeed artists! I have seen them remove some dents I thought were hopeless. Looks great Helmut.

[dykstra]

Those PDR guys do incredible work:worship:

[Xplantdad]

Looks great!!

[L78M22Rag]

i still cant believe you pulled off the trailer hitch that the original owner installed to flat tow his 55

Previous owner did that… not me

Yes, that’s exactly where that photo was taken. Good eye!

[BJCHEV396]

Looks really good Helmut!!
