I know the car and the owner, I think its a great car. I turned him on to it years ago, sorry I never bought it for myself. Bob's a good man and a straight shooter.

What does that mean, it's not a Super Sport but it's an SS 427? Educate me. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Now I'm crying again. First for being stupid in 1978 in selling the '68 L72 SS427......then for selling the 67 a couple of years ago. GOD, I love the big Chevys.

Two seperate options. Super sport give you buckets,console. Ss427 gave you the hood,gills and suspension.

I thought the SS427 was an option on top of the SS?

You could buy a Super Sport (or even plain Impala) with a 427 but that's just what it would be. The &quot;SS427&quot; was its own separate top-of-the-line model with distinct badging, that raised hood, etc.

But doesn't that literature item I post suggest the SS427 package could only be ordered on SS models, much like an L89 could only be ordered on L78 or L71 motors? Or that's incorrect?

In 67 and 68 Chevrolet marketing was trying to promote this as a &quot;performance option&quot; package in a &quot;B&quot; body, RPO Z24 with no visible &quot;Impala&quot; exterior or interior badging, marketing this as a &quot;Chevrolet SS427&quot; not as a &quot;Impala SS&quot; which was RPO Z03 and could be ordered with any available engine combination. Now if you ordered a Z24 package and a Z03 together the only part of the Z03 package you would get was the interior, buckets and console, the Z24 option would trump for the exterior portion and for 68 different style seat covers and door panels, 67 used the same style interior weather &quot;SS&quot; or &quot;Z24&quot;.

In 69 a Z24 would only have exterior &quot;SS&quot; badging along with &quot;Impala&quot; nameplates and a &quot;SS&quot; badge in the horn shroud, interior patterns were all the same, buckets and console were an option by this year.
