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]

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

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.

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?

Yes your correct the ad is incorrect.

[GTO_DON]

Well now your both correct. In 1967 only it had to be ordered with the impala SS package. In 68 it was its own pkg so You could order it without the SS interior . This is getting complicated. That's why these cars have a cult following. They really are special cars.
