Has anyone determined whether any real SS427 '67 Chevelles were actually made?

Just another story to make the saleable item sound more appealing.

</div></div> All legitimate info says only big cars and corvettes were fitted with the 427 in 1967. I have however, seen locally another 67 Chevelle "SS427" that the owner swears is original. I asked him what dealer put it together and he answers "detroit" [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] |
Re: Has anyone determined....
It's funny, over the years I've seen several '67 SS427 Chevelles that looked very original and not cobbled together by their owner.
Maybe these were dealer cars? Many of them were located in the Carolina's so I wasn't sure if their wasn't a dealer down there doing conversions during that time. And I thought it was funny that there were only '67s, not '66, '68, or '69 Chevelles. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif[/img] |

I have an old Car Craft from the 80's that has a good layout on Chevelle facts and production. I remember it saying something about all 427 engines in 67 needing to be ordered through the COPO system.

By the 80's Car Craft and most of the other car mags were making huge mistakes and assumptions about 60's cars. |

Re: Has anyone determined....
Yeah, I'm not saying that exact car was a real SS427, but I have seen others that appeared to be.
Or, at the least, dealer options and I was wondering what dealers were doing the conversions. |
