1966 impala SS 427/425....How Many?
 
Did they make a 1966 Impala SS ( hardtop...not a post car ) with a 427/425 motor
...and if so How many were built?
Any guesses? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

They made 66 SS Impalas with both the L36 390hp and L72 425 solid lifter motor. About 120,000 SS Impalas were built, and those motors were also available in wagons, four doors and the Caprice.

Which ones got what motor and how many https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I don't know if there are exact figures https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Here is one published record;

Total L72 427 big-car sales in '66 was 1,856. That's two-door, four-door, convertible and station wagon.

Another 3,287 had the L36, 390hp, oval-port-head 427.

You could also get an L35, 325hp 396 in any big car. A whopping 105,844 were so ordered.

I would be willing to bet most L72s were put in SSs.

The 2 L-72s sold at the dealer I worked for were Biscaynes. I remember one of the buyers handing the dealer the warranty book and saying " I wont have much use for this ".
