69 SS Impala 427 convertible

They will go up in price.

The 68-69 'Drop tops' with factory A/C that actually work are bringing very big $$.

Of course, R12 refrigerant will have to be converted to R134A because R12 is approaching $25/lb. when you can find it.

Hi. I have a documented 69 SS427 hard top Frost Green/White vinyl top light Green bucket interior. Do you have the SS427 Tachometer in the car? Documentaion would increase its value..................

You might want to define "very big $$" If you had a nicely restored or excellent original 69 SS427 convert with working factory air, you'd be hard pressed to get $30K out of it. In today's market that can hardly raise an eyebrow. As Rick says, for whatever reason, these cars just do not command big bucks.

The 67 and 68 SS427 had unique hoods; the 69 SS427 uses the same hood as any other 69 Impala

What did you get for yours when you sold it?

[Bill Pritchard]

$10K and it was a hard sell at that.

wow, did you see the blown up prices on these cars in the 2005 Hemmings Muscle Machines mag? they got the high value in the $42,000 range. i in general have been disappointed with the educated guess'es in that mag.

well i can finally spill the beans on the car i asked about. my brother, sister, and myself have bought this car for my dad's 50th birthday. it as a 69 Chevy Impala SS 427 with matching #'s. the car had belonged to my dad's brother in the 70's and has gone through 2 owners since me and my siblings purchased the car last July. we couldn't mention anything about it on the board because my dad does read the board from time to time. needless to say he was overwhelmed!
