my 67 impala 427 ss 4 speed

[PARKER RABE]

this is my 1967 impala ss my dad bought new....the car sat blown up for 25 years in doors under cover at rabco, and i did a full frame off resto about 6 years ago, and its now powered buy a 540 ci 680hp merlin big block , its a real head turner , the motor is super trick running on 110 octaine with 13/1 compression brodix heads, corilla rods and keith black pistions ,msd 6al , holly dominator, i recently put a 410 rear end in it....also i left the car as a 4 speed ...it sounds great with 4 inch stainless exhaust , stopping under the doors with series 10 single chamber flowmasters talk about loud!!!!!!!! just thought i would share some pictures with u , alot of people on the board have alaways asked it i still had it .

[BUIZILLA]

cool....

I had a '68 SS427 black/black Z24 Impala for about 10-12 years... it's listed on the SS427 website..

I liked the '67 dash better than 68

[PARKER RABE]

post some pics here , mine had the gold interior , still got the 8 track too

[Fish]

looking good parks, and I know it sounds as good as it looks!:thumbsup:

[BUIZILLA]

mine had the 8 track multiplex too.. a/c, tilt, cruise, F41, 3.36 posi, bench seat, I got it from original owner who had it 21 years to the day... I put 3.90's in it and built the motor to L72 spec's, shouldn't have done the gears that high... what a cruiser... i've owned about 140 cars and trucks and I miss it, my 69 L78 Camaro, and my 70 Z28 the most, all were original numbers match build sheet cars... never should have sold those....

[Raceman]

What ever became of the 427 block from that car?

Those ole' full sized 427 cars were really neat, and not many of em around here back then. That 427 Specific hood is mega-valuable and impossible to replace also, so I wouldn't be havin' any front end incidents with it.

When I was building my '68 427 Biscayne clone I had a set of 4.10's and 4.56's on the shelf, and couldn't decide which one to put in it. Went with the 4.56's............ not a smart move. I wish mine was a real car. I like the rear of the '67's a lot better than any of the rest of 'em from '65 to '69 also.

One of the mysteries of the '67 Impala/BelAir/Biscayne is the fact that for that one year only there was NO 427/425 HP engine offered. They had 'em in '66, '68', & '69, but for '67 the hydraulic lifter/small port 10:1 compression 385 horse was the biggest motor offered in the full sized cars, even though the Corvette still got the solid lifter big port 11:1 427 for '68. Nobody in the collector hobby seems to know why.

I hope you keep that car forever, but if that ever changes I'd like to have a shot at it.

[BUIZILLA]

just speculating, but I think the popularity of the L71 in the 67 Vette's wiped out big car engine inventory... ??

[Raceman]

Good point. I've recently seen the Corvette guys pay 6 & 8 thousand (and even more in some cases) for a '67 427 block that was dated right for their car. Since the 2 and 4 bolt blocks are the same casting number, and in the case of the 2 bolts, easily changed to 4, the demand is unbelievable, even though they didn't use any 4 bolts in full sized Chevies in '67.

I think if I had the capability that some companies, like World Products (Merlin) has, I'd be running off some "repro" '67 blocks to take care of the demand, much like the guy that's now repopping '67 intakes in both 400 and 435 horse versions.;)

[PARKER RABE]

norris , my dad took the original motor , and put it in a flat bottom , and flipped it in platka in 1975 , never recovered the boat or motor .......real smart huh? ... the car will never be for sale , i have all the original stuff for it , including the build recipt , and the bill of sale, owners manual, wheels .etc

[Bruster]

Parker, when I stop by can we take the Impala to the Wharf? or, maybe just watch ya do a burnout. :cheers: That thing is bad to the bone.:thumbsup:

Norris, at least we now have an idea where the motor is at.

[Streamer]

Very nice car !

Well Clean , Where's the pics of your Clasic/Musle Car , you roll around on weekends , that you built yourself .

There may be more fitting hoods for a Ford Product , but these cars are personal Works of Art . So why take a shot at someone , for having differant taste then yourself ?

A guy I knew at the airport in Miami , was working on a Starliner / 427 Cammer ,car . But not sure what happened with it .

Another gentleman down there also did a Galixy 500 Convertable / 428 , for his grandson . And gave it to him on his 16th birthday .

[Dave Strong]

My dad had a 396, 1st new car he had, had a buddy with a 67 GT390 Mustang. The Impala would blow the doors off the stang all the time, used to choke my dads bud.:eek:

I have the dealer order book for 67 Chevrolet, all options and order codes it is kinda cool.

Dave:smiletest:

[PARKER RABE]

thats killer , i still have the original buyers order for mine , i laminated it , and have it on the dash for people too see at shows .....

[PARKER RABE]

people $hit , when i tell them my dad bought it new

[specboatops]

Just the fact that it belonged to your Dad is reason enough to keep it....funny how seeing certain things can bring back a TON of memory's :thumbsup:


Chris

[PARKER RABE]

guy offered me 35.000 for it a few weeks ago......but my dad would just die if i sold it ......to many great memories as a kid in it.....got great pictures of the car with just married on the back , with my mom and dad driving off into the sunset ....good times ..

[PARKER RABE]

then i wanted to cut it up ,and tub it with a blower motor ...guy told me i was crazy to cut that car up ....so i just left it , and put the 540 in it .

[Talon2.5]

wheres the just married pic? that would be a cool addition to this thread parker

Skip

[specboatops]

Not to ask a stupid question but your Dad owned a Marina too correct ? Is it still operating and is that what you do now ? I have enjoyed ALL the photo's from that time period that have been put on here for us all to view.....1 thing that really impressed me is even when things were bad Your Dad always seemed to take it in stride....the one pic with a boat of his that had sunk, I think even your Mom was in the photo no one looked to stressed out.....man if that was me I woulda been pulling my hair outta my head...........man I bet you have some frkkin cool stories...:thumbsup::thumbsup::cheers::cheers:

Chris

[PARKER RABE]

[PARKER RABE]

I got offered 35000 for mine a few weeks ago, turned it down , my dad would roll in his grave if i sold it.....
I wonder how much it would be if i had the original motor? 50 mabye? No idea

[Ted Stryker]

I wonder how much it would be if i had the original motor?

Unless You going hungry or need to pay for a medical operation for Your child then don't \ever worry about what it's worth to a buyer... If You get married, be damn sure to put it on Your side of a pre-nup because bitches love to strip men of what they love... Somethings don't come back after they fly away, so keep the cage shut...

[PARKER RABE]

dam good idea

[Incon]

I remember seeing a 427 Impala at the Azalea softball field in St. Pete. This was many years ago and it was a stick shift car.

We called it "Impalasaures Rex" Has to be the same car.

[PARKER RABE]

had to be my car . i live down the street

[2Fast2Pass]

Left very easy anticipating blowing the tires off, and with a LAZY 1.8 60ft. The little Mustang " with the cowl hood that I like" went 11.31 @ 123 mph. Only made the one pass and as soon as I get a driveshaft loop in and it cools off a little I'll be doing some tuning. Not bad with a little 255 60 drag radial! Let me know when the Impala wants some :)

[2Fast2Pass]

This is the hood that was on it, unfotunately I needed some more clearance. And what the hell is a bullish?

[Ted Stryker]

shoud have it ready in a few weeks ......with a T-10

T-10, as in transmission..?

[2Fast2Pass]

Now you're talkin! All of my hot rods except my first car "Grabber Maverick" have been 4 spd. cars. Makes it a lot more fun when you have to drive it! Kinda like the Allison! Hope that T-10 can handle all that motor in such a heavy ride. Good Luck

[PARKER RABE]

T-10, as in transmission..?
yes.....

[Ted Stryker]

yes.....

I hope that transmission can holds up OK, ought to be fun though... Don't forget about the T-56 6-speeds, great transmissions with enough gears to compensate for a helluva rear end gear, and strong as hell...

[PARKER RABE]

i just put a 411 in it , i had a 373 in it , this should really rip
