Bought a 67 Impala SS 4 speed 327, metallic blue, black leather interior bucket seats, w/factory am/fm radio & 8 track. For $75.00. A very sweet car! In "77" but at 21 with wife and new born son! Needed the $$$$$ and sold it, for a $150.00! Which I regretted everytime I see an Impala 327 SS! Should've sold the wife and bought a new set of tire for my SS instead..! As the old folk say! you just can never tell! This is a Beautiful Sweet Car! Thanks for video!

Absolutely beautiful car! Ive only just become a fan of the 4th gen Impala. Years of being a Chevelle and Mustang fan, and discovering these gems has been nothing but a pleasure. Im on the hunt for my own to park next to my GT500!
Hi lexustech48, High praise :-) Hope you find the right one for you soon to park next to your GT500, Lou
Going way back to 2014, missed this one, nice!
Happy to read you found this early video :-)
This is a gorgeous Bolero Red Impala SS. It's not a Z24 car, which had the "SS427" name and a special domed hood with a fake intake grille, but a standard Impala SS with the optional L36 427 engine.
gojoe283 Hi GoJoe283, Thanks for viewing and sharing. If you'd like to se all the cars and stories, go to www.MyCarStoryWithLou.comTake care,Lou
A buddy of mine has that hood he says its worth 5k
Lou- FYI those white lights mounted adjacent to the impala's headlights are not turn signals. They are the optional (precursor to the 1968 side markers) marker lights that light up white when headlights are turned on. Pretty nice option for the impala's front façade.
We owned a 1967 Impala 2 door sport coupe that had the black dummy cannisters on either side of the headlights which was offered "standard" on the Impala trim. Wish they were white!

as for me it is one of the most beautiful cars of the 60's
Hi Dave, I've said this before, cars are one of the rare things in life that gets better looking with age, Lou
I have 1967 Impala SS427 I bought new. It has 44,000 miles on it. I've never seen a
SS427 without the SS hood.
Hi Dick,
Sounds like you have a cool car! Thanks for viewing and sharing,
Lou
***** Thanks for sharing your knowledge, good info to know,
Lou
This car is an Impala SS with the 427 engine option. It's not the SS 427 model.
ceedell Hi Ceedell,
Thanks for sharing info and viewing,
Lou
***** I agree with the SS 427 car info but I have seen 2 other Impala SS cars with the 427 from the factory, one belonging to the original owner who ordered it that way.
My dad bought me a 67 impala SS for my 16th birthday... 28 yrs later I still have it.
Hi TheKyridgerunner, THAT IS AWESOME! Lou
You gotta knock this off, that was so cool it almost gave me heart palpitations. My 67 Bel Air 283 didn't have those turn signals there, so you are right again it definitely wasn't an option.
You've got the "bug" alright :-) Prescription = 2 "My Car Story with Lou" videos before bed and sweet dreams.
Lou called them turn signals, but they are not. They are fender lamps...the owner called them running lamps, which is fine. They were a factory option on the Impala, and could probably be ordered for a BelAir too if so desired. They only lit up when the parking lights or headlights were turned on. They're not turn signals so they do not blink. Standard equipment would be black painted aluminum trim ornaments in their place. The turn signals are the rectangular orange lamps in the lower bumper. On a side note, the fender lamps came standard on the Caprice.
Stunning and nicer looking than anything today. Holy grail car Lou. Thanks man 👍
Hi Bruce H., High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
Beutiful, fast, comfortable, easy to drive with the automatic transmission! Glad to revisit this wonderful SS Impala!

Hey Lou, 1967.!!!
Best looking Chevrolets - 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1971. SKIP 1970.
Hi Mar Blox, Did you see this one? Lou th-cam.com/video/YvvoV4vWFAU/w-d-xo.html
This is an Impala SS with a 427, not an "SS 427"
Happy to read you enjoy this one :-)
Custom deluxe seat belts as they were called were color keyed to the interior with the stainless buckles. Standard seat belts were black with a black plastic cover on the buckle. As far as the lamps on the leading edges of the fenders, they were part of the auxiliary lighting group. It included lamps in the trunk and under the hood, ash tray and glove compartment.

BEAUTIFUL CHEVY GREAT JOB 💯🌟☝️✌️
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car RAYMOND :-) Make sure to watch the commercials, as that is how I get paid and gives me the ability to share more cars with you.
To all! This is not a Z24 option car, which is a SS 427. All Impala badging is removed. This car is a Impala SS with the optional 427 motor. This is real! I have the original protecto plate!

Bad to the bone car, Lou! I'm bothe a Ford and GM fan and like Mopars like Vipers and old 2 door Chargers!😁👍⚒️🔧
Hi Billy, Happy to read "Bad to the bone car" :-) Just the way we like it, Lou
I bought a brand new 1967 Chevrolet SS427 that looked identical to this one, but it had very different emblems, and was a very special car, with special suspension components, including a special grill on the domed hood. This car is a very nice Impala SS with the optional 427 engine. It is not an SS427 car. Remember, in 67 - 70, there were Impala SS cars with various engines available as an option, but the 427 was not standard on the Impala SS, and the badges inside and out were very different. The SS427 was based on the Impala body, but it had no Impala emblems on it anywhere. It was an SS427 just as the Chevelle SS396, and came with the 427 engine, special suspension, special steering wheel, special hood and body trim, etc.
Hi Cawaynus, Sound like you had cool car for sure. Stay tuned as this week I'll have another 1967 Chevy you'll enjoy, Lou
Thanks, I'll check it out Lou! I have had a lot of 50s, 60s, and 70s, performance cars, and I love them!
You've had some great cars and good times for sure :-) Lou
Yes, but this red Impala SS is certainly one of those nice cars you can be proud of. I still have a nice 74 Nova Coupe, but I wish I had had the foresight to keep many of the cars that I had. I am glad that folks like you are restoring and preserving the old muscle cars, and in a professional manner!
Had one of these in 71 while going to high school. It was red with black interior and it had the gauge package with the tach. It was a 4SP car and it also had the domed hood. It really didn't handle very well and it wasn't that fast but it did have a good sized back seat which was important to a 17 year old boy. The guy down the block needed a bigger car for his family so in trade, I got his 67 Chevelle L78 4SP and 400 bucks.
Good story Anthony Nelson :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
, they sis very nice car my buddy had one back in the day it was a four-door 396 thanks for your service happy Mother's Day to all those mothers out there

Hi The Grim Saint, We have a Winner! Glad you enjoyed this one. I just videoed this one I think you'll enjoy too, Lou th-cam.com/video/XcvGGFFbQ1A/w-d-xo.html
Nice red color! Lots of big block power! Nice body style!
Win / Win / Win :-)
FACTORY AIR!!
Wow.
Glad to receive a "Wow" from you Todd Martin :-) Lou
While NASA was making rocket launches in space, auto engineers were building quality stock autos on earth in the 60's.
those "body by fisher" buckles! my grandparents Fleetwood had those in the rear, as well. safety first! nice wheels. not just the ubiquitous stainless corvette wheel that every chevelle and camaro has.. of course a car of this level of superlativeness deserves a thick coat of red.. why not.
Hi Scott, Happy to read those buckles bring back memories of your Grandparents car :-) Lou
My dream car whats not to like about this gem there is a beautiful looking impala and a 427
Hi Big Thunder, Happy to read this is a "Dream Car" for you :-) Lou
wrong hood ! wrong 427 emblems and no emblem on the grille either ,
It's an Impala SS 427. The badging is correct for this car. Chevy did put 427 in this type of Impala. The SS427 is not the same optioned car as this car is.
It’s an IMPALA SS427 not an SS 427

what a beauty
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Sorry the one with the special hood and a few other options was an RPO code Z 24 option , my mistake I has a blue on and at the time I didn't know what I had , 2200 produced , If I had only known then , Be safe everyone ,
Hi COMMANDER of the NORTH, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
2124 to be exact 🙂. I had one too. Gold.
Nice car!
:-)
Nice car . But not sure on tilt wheel.
Hi Tony, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Hi Tony! Just letting your know tilt wheel was an option in ‘67.
Boy that is a pretty Chevrolet!
Great design, and you have great taste in cars :-)
this car is a ss with a 427 not a ss 427 they build both styles that year
What a beautiful car, people don't understand how rare your car is because it is a Impala Super Sport with a 427. There were 2100 427 SS cars made with a special hood how many Impala Super Sport 427 cards were made. I own a 67 Impala Super Sport 427 matching numbers convertible. Loaded with every option power windows till climate control air-conditioning power seats factory AM/FM radio and the dash is a tac speedo meter and a clock, gas oil pressure temperature gauge are all separate. I was told this is one of 36 made how many 67 impala with optional L 36 were made?

Put equal length headers on this and a cam you could surprise another with this.
Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge.
Sweet!
:-)
It is almost as nice as my 1967 Impala 427 Super Short shopping cart. It does not come with a spare tire though.
Happy to read you have a cool car too.
That is not an SS427.. It is an Impala Super Sport with a 427 engine.
Hi John Sherwin, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Why do they always kill the car when they put those AWFUL aftermarket gauges???
Not sure.
Too bad it's not a 4-speed.
It was soooo close :-)
Where's the domed hood?
Hi Bob, This one doesn't have it. Here a domes hood for you to enjoy, Lou th-cam.com/video/XcvGGFFbQ1A/w-d-xo.html
From 09 to 011, did anyone else catch that? Lmao
Hi Nope Nope, Nope....I missed it :-) Lou
Beautiful car regardless, thanks for the quick reply!
but my most favorite of all 68 Mustang convertible I'm a convertible girl
Hi Linda Knight, Like this one? Enjoy! Lou th-cam.com/video/4iP5EXQZllQ/w-d-xo.html
will never give up women..but these cars are in the debate....
I'm married to the cars win for me :-)
I would sure like to see the engine numbers. This is not a ss 427. If you wanted a 427 engine you would need to order a Z24 option not a ss with a 427 engine.

Hi Calvin, Thanks for viewing and sharing. I hope you'll check out the many other cars on the Channel and find ones you'll enjoy, Lou
yall mean to tell me that the 1967 clone that I have is worthless
Sounds like you have a fun car too.
Must not have been able to find the correct hood. Look close. Its a 4 door Biscayne hood. The '67 427 SS had chrome louvres in the center. And look at the engine. Plain as the nose on your face. It's a Mexican rebuild. A quick spray job with common Chevy orange........popular trick used by used car salesmen.
Hi Glenn Spears, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Well Glen you sure don’t know much about ‘67 Chevys! This is a Impala SS with a 427 engine, not a 427SS! My husband has documentation for this engine with numbers matching and protecto plate. Engine paint is supposed to be orange, that’s how they came from the factory. Do some research before you dis someone’s hard work!
That's because it's not an SS427. That's why it doesn't have the domed hood with chrome center ormanment and special SS427 emblems. It's an Impala SS with the optional 427 engine. So, it has Impala SS emblems with the 427 turbo jet fender emblems. The hood is correct for an Impala SS, as well as any other 67 fullsize Chevrolet car, except the SS427's domed hood.
not a real SS427
Because.....
@@loucostabile the exterior badging is not consistent with any other 67 ss427 I have seen. 427 emblems on front of fenders unlike others, hood is missing the three piece attachment, Impala emblems on the exterior are there. ( No 67 ss427 I have ever seen has an Impala emblem anywhere on exterior) Other than the 427 emblems look of the car is more consistent with a SS396 Impala. It could still be real but appears to be missing original look. It's still a very nice car.
That's because it's not an SS427. That's why it doesn't have the domed hood and special SS427 emblems. It's an Impala SS with the optional 427 engine. So, it has Impala SS emblems with the 427 turbo jet fender emblems.
ANOTHER .. NON -Car guy geek wannabe .. with a video camera ... Maybe someone should tell him to go play with girls .
Hi Michael, Well after 4 years after you have 39 Subscribers and you keep installing those patch panels while I'm enjoying cars with my 85K+ Subscriber Friends. Not bad for a "Wannabe" :-) Stay well, Lou P.S THANK YOU for the motivation!
I Seen 427 Impala SS Back Then Went I Was A Young
And Most Didn't Have The SS Hood. Chevy Was Into Racing From 62 To 68 Just The Big Cars Nascar And Drag racing At The Time . So If Your Car Has The SS Hood And The Big 427 Bage On The Side Its Not A Family 427 SS Impala For The Street.....
And Yes The Car I Ment Is A 67 Impala SS427....Were An 67 SS Impala 427 Is A Family Car........
