I bought this same car ! 1990 when I was 15. $4000 and was SUPER CLEAN. I still own it in 2023 @ 47 years old.
Drove to school in that car.
Went to my prom , and graduation. Drove off to college in it. First date with Wifey was in the car.
Drove TO AND AWAY from my WEDDING in the car.
24yrs ago!! BOTH GIRLS ARE STILL WITH ME !!!
The car is woven into the very fabric of my life. So many hours of wrenchin'. So many "upgrades " and $$$ Through the years.
Went from Hydraulics and Rollin' on 13" Daytons, to Fully Bagged ridin' on Dueces, to smaller rims , and Sunday Drives in San Diego....GARAGED when I'm not driving it. #IMPALALIFE

To me ,the coolest,prettiest Impala ever.
Red '67 Impala convertible sitting outside a few blocks away from me... I test drove a white 427 4 speed one back in late 1960's...
Convertible, Floor Shift with Console, Buckets, and those "67 Tail Lights. Great Looking Classic.
Hi Mar Blox, Happy to read you enjoy this "Great Looking Classic" :-) Lou
This Impala is truly special, and stunning. Thanks Lou 👍
Hi Bruce H., High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
My first car was a blue 1967 Impala Convertible that I bought in college around 1978. It was a 283 C.I.D with a slip and slide powerglide. I went everywhere in that thing.

My dad had a 67 Impala but with the small block 327ci and, of course, no convertible top. He couldn’t afford luxury, he was a salesman in the plumbing dept at Sears. Another great job Lou!!
Hi AustinEVPLab, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Dads car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
A rare car for sure! I had a 67 SS convertible, Butternut Yellow with a 327 and turbo 400 trans. That was the first year you could get that great transmission with a small block engine. Mine also had the factory AM-FM radio, running lights next to the headlights, and the rally wheels.

What an incredible piece of history! Thank you for saving this awesome car, and what a restoration!!! 400 out of 400! That shows a LOT of hard work to achieve that. Thank you guys!
Happy to read you enjoy this video, and appreciate the effort on the build of this car :-)
Rarest Impala or not - this ride is a solid beauty!
Well said :-) We're not judging it, we're enjoying it :-)
When we were drag racing back in the day, my friend had a FACTORY BUILT 1968 Biscayne with a 427 / 425 legit High Performance solid lifter , holley carb, rectangular huge port heads,4 bolt mains car...................This car in the video is nice, but , it is a "passenger car" 427. ....Most people back then did not want to put up with solid lifters on the "monster" 425 H.P. version (which was a LOT MORE than the advertised 425 H.P.) and with the High Performance 427 you could NOT get A/C because the rate of RPM climb would destroy the compressor.........Enjoy this beautifully restored SS casr. I wish it were mine !
Hi Charlie, Sounds like fun times :-) Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou

My dad had a ‘67 bel air 4 door post, it was the best car we ever owned. My father in law has a ‘67 Caprice 4 door with a 396 all original with original upholstery etc. plastic grandma seat covers. I hope to own it one day. I’d like to buy it from him!

What a beauty. I had a 67' Caprice Classic triple black with buckets and console similar to this only wood grain instead of metal. It was a dream boat but not as cherry as the Impala shown here. Love all your videos Lou
Hi Paul, Glad you enjoyed this one and thank you for sharing details on your car. Also, I appreciate the kind words regarding the videos, Lou
Actually the optional bucket seats in the Caprice used a vinyl pattern of the more luxurious Caprice interior. The Impala SS used the less luxurious Impala vinyl seat pattern and that was appropriate to emphasize the SS's more sporting nature.
Hi Lou! Enjoyed the story on this rare car . Stunning automobile!
Hi Joseph, Glad to read you found this car "stunning" :-) Lou
This is fantastic car,I like it,sir your all videos are very interesting I love it.thank a lot👍👍👍👍
Hi Singer Shambhu, Happy to read "This is fantastic car" :-) Glad to read you're enjoying the videos with me, Lou
The 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS and the 1965 Buick Riviera are two of my favorite cars. They are real cars. Not the plastic little throw away cars that are made today. And this is a great example of quality in engineering and style. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed this one of your favorites too :-) You're welcome.
This '67 looks just like my old Chevy Impala. Loved that car, wish I hadn't traded it off.

A sweet car, very nice-from a non-fan of GM's.
Small town I grew up in there was a guy in his late 50's that ordered one of these '67, 427, 4-speed, fully optioned, triple blue, SS Impala convertibles. He had a fuel station so the car was seen daily because if it was open he was there.
He'd never been married, WW2 wound he'd never explain was his reason. Also in town was a elderly brother and sister that neither had ever married, lived together in the home they were born in. Every 2-3 years they'd order-checking all the boxes available-muscle cars. He bought MOPAR, she bought Impalas. She had a '67 427, 4-speed, optioned out, triple red, SS Impala hardtop. A friend always told the station owner he needed to hook up with the old maid, get married, and one of them sell him their car, he didn't care which.
None ever traded with the two local dealerships, Ford, GM, that were owned by the same guy. He'd been mayor at one time, long before I was old enough to pay attention, and a lot of that generation would not deal with him including my father and grandfather, our stuff always bought out of town too. We never knew when they were trading their factory muscle cars, so they never once ended up staying in town-I think they did that so they'd never see one get ragged out by a local yahoo.
Hi Ray 56, Happy to read "A sweet car" :-) Lou
OMG ! That was a fantastic display of GM history. I want one ! LOL I wish.
Glad you enjoyed this one, and thank you for posting such a wonderful comment, Lou
love going back to see videos before I subscribed.
Hi keeff, Happy to read you're enjoy the videos :-) Lou
Only 7 yrs old in '67, but even back then every car seemed magic to me.
particularly remember the excellent, wide-track, beautifully balanced design of the Impalas, exemplified perfectly in this mint example.
There will never be another decade like this in American car design.
Hi sebjoeko
, Happy to read "every car seemed magic" :-) Wonderful, Lou
Awesome car just beautiful ❤️ that red.
Hi Samuel, High praise :-) Lou
You know how to pick 'em, Lou! 🔧
That's so cool - they included every option available to test them all at once. Makes sense to me!
My pleasure sharing the cars I pick with you Kevin :-)
@@loucostabile Not sure which I like better his all original 65 or the spit and polish 67.
Fantastic! My companys colleague has a 67" Impala. But its the basic model, with the 4.6 and 3-on-the-three. I absolutely love the ride, i drove it a few hours in the summer to a lot of us-car-meets with him. Great car, pretty good video. Keep it up, Lou!

Nice :-)
Back in the day, all you had to do was tell Chevrolet which of its numerable engines you would like in your car, and Chevrolet would be more than happy to oblige. My brother had a factory ordered 1968 Chevy Nova with this 427 engine. It had a factory Muncie four speed with posi-traction and all the options imaginable. You can imagine the sleeper it was, with that 427 in a Nova!
Hi StellarBlue1, Great story on your Brothers car. Thank you for sharing, Lou
I'd pay to watch it smokes something like a newer model BMW
Impossible. You couldn't get a 427 Nova from the factory. GM flat out refused to install the 427 in Nova's even through the COPO program. When Don Yenko built the 427 Yenko Nova's in 1969 he had to pull the factory 396 and install the 427 himself because GM refused to do it. In 69 the Camaro's and Chevelle's were shipped to him with the 427 already installed but not the Nova's. Biggest engine available in a Nova in 1968 and 69 was the 375 horse 396
My cousin owned a '67 Impala....Marina Blue with white interior. A beautiful car. Looks of that model still hold up. High School graduation gift from my Uncle Mick and Aunt Mary Lou. He wishes he'd a taken better care of it now.
Hi G Philip C, Fun when you see a car that brings back memories :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
The was one of the best color combo's. It made any chrome really stand out & raised whites & really brought out the the colors in all of the light lenses.
top choice lou another one of your champion cars = thanks for your effort - top quality.

Nice '67......another memory trigger of my '67 Caprice 2 dr hdtp, buckets and console 327 Blue/blue with black vinyl top (had repaint done in black) ....don't know why I'm just seeing this!

Hi Keith O'Neil, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Yum. Original is always best. A piece history. I like to drive mine and think off being in the time when it was made. 1971 350 Malibu. It's almost a time machine experience.
Hi Martin, I agree, when they are original, it take you right back too that year, Lou
Wow I'm love with the lady in red...thats a beautiful car love it
You have great taste :-)
I'm not a chevy fan at all but these 60's Impala's are gorgeous. They are huge cars but i have to give credit where it is due because GM designers really had their shit together designing these cars. My faves are the 65 and 68 models but all of them are beautiful.
I think they get better looking with age, Lou
I agree with you Lou!
My favorites are the 61-62 bubble tops and the 65-66 models
1968 Impala Convertible with Console and Buckets is the best.
My folks had a 67 basic tan Impala. It did everything well except start in the rain. Loved that car though. As long as it didn't rain, it served us reliably well.
Hi MrGeeMan1980, "I kinda hear a song, "Not starting in the rain, not starting in the rain, what a beautiful car, just not starting in the rain" :-) Lou
Chevy knock it out of the park with every impala design from 64 to 73.
High praise for the design of this car :-)
I like em all from 58-69. There was no more SS option available for the Impala after 69 and no more manual transmission option either after 69
They did have a 427 with 425 horsepower in 1967. Air conditioning was not available with the 427/425.

I knew someone who owned one of those...it was a Congregational Minister who bought it NEW.

Beautiful impala!! I have a 69 impala 292, and i can to say that chevrolet is made to last and stay beautiful! In that year '67 the most amazing car was the pontiac grand prix for me, jim morrison maybe drove one! , congratulation lou! Good vídeos!
Hi Jose Antonio Garcia, Glad think this this one is "beautiful" :-) Thank you for the kind words on the video, it's appreciated, Lou
Chevrolet didn't offer a 292 in the 1969 Impala.

Beautiful car... This isn't a "Z-24" SS427 but is an Impala SS with a 427. There were very few SS427 convertibles built and probably even fewer of these. I was once the proud owner of a '67 SS427 convertible and can tell you that these cars are faster than a car this big should be...

An awesome beauty!
Glad to read you enjoy the looks of this car Bruce Allen :-)
My parents bought a '67 SS that was special ordered but the buyer backed out. Basic 327 Turbo Fire with column shift auto / gold with black vinyl top and fender skirts with white bucket seats / interior, all power options including an am - fm - 8 track player - price was dirt cheap - less than $4k at the time.
My sisters and I went nuts listening to the same Lorne Greene - Ponderosa chevy demo tape that came with the car but have fond memories decades later.
Hi, Glad to read this car brought back memories for you. Thank you for sharing your story, Lou
That less than 4K was the purchase price not the window sticker MSRP.
Considering that they only made 453 Impala Super Sports in 1961 (because the SS was a mid year production option), and only 142 of those had 409's, and probably less than 100 were Super Sport 409 convertibles - I think a 1961 409 Super Sport convertible would be the rarest Impala..
Hi Nicolas Ruvalcaba, Thank you for viewing, sharing your knowledge, and happy to share this rare Impala with you, Lou
You are probably right. The 65's with the 409 are really rare too because the 409 was phased out and replaced by the 396 mid year 1965. I'd love to have a 65 Biscayne 396/425 horse or even an early production 65 Biscayne with the 400 horse 409
This comment is for Ryan who wrote about some of the available options This car didn't have. Come on bro back in the day a 67 Impala Sport Coupe with 327 Powerglide power steering brakes an am radio with rear speaker and manual air conditioning listed for about $3875 was considered to be well equipped. Over 50% of buyers of new Fords and Chevys could not afford to opt for big engines, air conditioning and power accessories beyond steering and brakes.
Hi Larry Hawkins, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Great Car. They are missing a few options though. My friend has a Black 1967 Impala SS Convertible 427 and in addition to the 4 regular power windows, his vent windows are power also. His also has a Factory mirror on the passenger side. Both side mirrors are remote adjustment. He says his cars was originally a test mule just as this one. It was originally going to be labelled Impala SS Limited because of the Supremely high amount of optional equipment. It also has an unheard of for 1967 4 speed automatic.
Hi Max, Thanks for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Lou
Nope. Not in '67. No 4 speed autos existed in the platform, not even on test board. No Limited on name board. Power vents on Cadillac only, in '67.
I learned to drive in my family's 1967 327 (automatic) Chevy Impala convertible and always thought the steering was purest shite--not tight or precise at all. And for the life of me I can't remember where the switch was for opening and closing the top. I just remember there were two clamps you had to undo at the windshield before hitting the switch--wherever it was, to open the roof. And then you had to physically clamp them down again once the top was closed. Our 327 also had a bench front seat, not buckets.

Of course I like all of them :)
No, he’s a bullshitter, half the stuff he claims about this car is just false.
Way to go Lou..rare car indeed. Should be in my garage..Do you know why that car has the 385 hp motor. And not the 425 hp L72 both are 427 c.i... The 425 hp had solid lifters and GM would not put air conditioning in a car with solid lifters
Hi Yesenia, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of seeing this car :-) Not sure why this one has the 385 hp, and hoping a Viewer with knowledge can share. Lou
That car is absolutely beautiful and to think it's a 400 out of 400 how often do you see that 100%.
High praise on the car :-)
Pretty car

For Johnny Drums. Back in 67 I wrote Chevy in Detroit requesting brochures and price listings for their cars. The top radio options for Camaro, Chevelle, Chevrolet and the 'vette was an Am/Fm Stereo radio with an 8 track tape deck. Back in the day most options were individual offerings and not in packages. The cost of that unit was approximately $363.00. From what I remember this car as equipped probably stickered out at about $5300.00. The cost would even be higher if it had the 427 engine with 425 up and Comforton automatic a/c. This would catapult the cost of this car to the low end of the near luxury field. Chevy had the most extensive list of available options of the low priced 4 back in '67.
Hi Larry Hawkins, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Lou
A/C not available with 425 HP engine
And the cheapest of options, and the best add on to the front end would have been the corner Running lamps, like the Marina Blue car to the right side. $19.00 option I think.
Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts.
In 1967, Mr Guy, our choir director, bought a brand new 1967 Impala SS convertible in red. I think it has the 396
Happy to read this one brings back memories of your Choir Directors car :-)
Did the 427 replacement the 396 in 67?
Absolutely beautiful.... full stop !!

It's really good when you have taken us round the car's and also times when we see how the car drives, one of my fav's Lou was the 1959 Cadillac series 62, and the wonderful 1960 Cadillac Eldorado.

This is for the writer Stardust Dream who wrote about the 67 SS Impala with the 327 Vinyl top fender skirts Power accessories the top Stereo and Air. The purchase price was under $4k a real bargain but this cars sticker price as equipped was between $4500 and $4700. If they bought it new for $3800 it was a fantastic deal.

400 out of 400 & the clock doesn't work?
I believe the Battery Disconnect was not making contact until he went to Start the engine @ 8:52
@@geeo57 Correct, I noticed that too.
Hmmm, seems that would deduct a point.
You can see him connecting the battery prior to starting
Since there is SO MUCH confusion about this car and the ‘427’, read this if you have questions about this car: ’67 Impalas with the special hood are ordered with option code Z24 which was the ‘SS427’ package. You could also order a regular Impala SS, with a 427. The ’SS427’ cars had the domed hood, no exterior ‘Impala' badging, and special ’SS’ badges for the grille and rear taillight panel. You could still order a regular Impala SS with a normal hood and badges with a 427, which is what this car, and mine, are. The production numbers were low, and about the same for both, about 2,200 for each. Hope that helps.

How did it get a 400 out of 400. If you were looking the clock in the dash was not working, and when they started it up it either has a lifter tick or it was an exhaust leak. Beautiful car but not perfect

Gorgeous car!! How do the shoulder belts work in this convertible?😳
Hi Cmdr Darwin, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car. Not sure those belts are effective :-) Lou
Boy o boy, this car is absolutely amazing....And, a beautiful car indeed! He mentioned it had shoulder belts, wonder how they were rigged up in that convertible...Didn't know that was even an option in 67....Wish I could work in a shop like this one that does such amazing/original restoration work. Would be happy to just sweep the floor and clean the toilets, just to watch these artists at work, and learn a little more about this process....How the heck do they find all the thousands of needed parts, and organize all the details!
Agreed, and well said, Lou
karpalot
Ilii
kramden- This car is missing a ton of options, don’t believe the owner’s tall tales, not the rarest Impala ever, not even for ’67.
Sorry...shoulder belts weren't offered until 1969 and the car doesn't have cornering lamp turn signals...this is wrong...I will give you $9000 for this "tuna boat" - that is all it is is worth...reality check. Contact me for that price.
So ordered with the 427 . And then ss package. Just the 427 and the ss package plus tach . No 427 hood . But 427 badge no 427 ss badges n blacked out trim. ? I think sounds confusing.

Hi Andrew, Happy to read this one brings back memories of the Neighbors car :-) Lou
If we could only show your video to the potential buyers of 53 years ago, I'll place my bet on GM selling less of their cars with option compromise. I can't imagine anybody wanting some boring Impala with a 283 powerglide or three on the tree
Hi Monique, Well you'd have to meet my Dad who purchased a 65 Bel Air with a 283 :-) Lou
The car was restored by Midwest Vette, LLC in Spring Hill, Kansas. Check out the website @ Corvettesmidwest.com

What a Dream
Hi Larry Napier, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Lou
Lou Costabile thank you Lou
Hi Larry, You're welcome, Lou
Lou Costabile stunning car ..just gorgeous..I had a 69 impala custom coupe in 2006 had to sell her in 2008 : (
Has power everything…but has crank windows? Or why is the crank on the door?
To get the windows down.
How or where did he find it, the story is not complete?
Hi Alexander Spenser, Good questions, but so little time to ask them all. Stay tuned and I hope you're having fun on the Channel, Lou
Nice.
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
The owner sounds like a sports announcer.
A Professional, very nice.
Nice car, but it does not have "every option"...I don't see the corner marker lights RPO T-78 which was available even on SS cars

If it came with all the options why don't have the SS hood ?
Not sure?
Nice but I'd take a couple pts.off for the clock that's not working.
That seems fair.
@@loucostabile Discount a couple more for incorrect ignition key. Should be octagonal in '67. LOL! That's if we're really picking at nits, here...
AS A LATE 40'S, ALL 50'S & EARLY MID 60'S CARS , TRUCKS , ETC....FAVORITES
THE 1967 CHEVY & THE 1967. MERCURY COUGAR ARE MY EXTREME EXCEPTIONS .
ID GIVE U. ONE OF MY. GIRLFRIENDS FOR EITHER CAR .
'67 CHEVY WAS THE BEST MADE , STYLE IMPALA OF ALL THE 1960 MODELS ....BUT ...NOT ...THE 1959 CHEVY IMPALA
GOOD. 1. LOU
Hi Andrew, High praise for this car :-) Lou
In 1977 I bought a 1967 hardtop Impala 327 4 barrel 375 Horse ~ It ran like the devil himself ! ~ Paid 200 dollars .
Nice buy :-)
Lou Costabile \ Yes Lou That was the car that taught me everything about the feel and knolage of the full size Innerstate flyer . I was sixteen living in the suburbs of detroit Rodchester Rd Troy Michigan plenty of room for a young man and his chevy . ~ hard life (MULDEW) gary b . ☆
The 327 375 was not availablle in the impala in 1967 that’s the fuelie neither was the 360 horse 4 bbl engine
It doesn't have the front fender lamps, fiber optic lamp monitors or automatic a/c, tilt steering wheel , cruise control, it's missing some opitions. NOT fully loaded.

I GOT DIZZY WATCHING THIS.
Hi MICHGO1, Was I moving to fast with the camera, or you really liked the car? Lou
NEVER CARED MUCH FOR CONVERTIBLES BUT MY FATHER HAD THE FASTBACK WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND A STICK. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BATMOBILE TO ME. SADLY IT WAS SOLD BEFORE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE.
WHAT'S THE QUESTION?
No wrap around milk glass on the front like the white Chevy next too it.
Thank you for viewing & sharing.
I have one like it 🐱 without restoration how much would it sell ?
Happy to read you have one, and no idea on value.
That car would have been a match for any European luxury car of its day. In today's world No european car could match that.
Hi bighand69, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy. Lou
I was under the impression that the 1967 Impala 427 had a “domed” hood?
Hi Don Sailing, I believe some do, and here is a link to a video of one I did with that "dome". Enjoy! Lou th-cam.com/video/XcvGGFFbQ1A/w-d-xo.html
