This is my favorite Chevrolet! The vinyl top is rare! Thanks for showing this off, Lou!
Hi Clare, WINNER! You're welcome, Lou
I had the vinyl top on my 69, dark Chevy blue with black roof 4 door 350 . Paid $300 in ‘78.
I don't impress that easily, but I am IMPRESSED....

My mother had a '67 Impala, 4-door with a black vinyl top. Not as beautiful as this 427 Impala, but sure brings back a lot of great memories. Mom is now gone.

Wonderful story. My dad was an engineer for Chevrolet and brought all these cars home from work and we used to take them out after dinner and drive the wheels off....from early 60's on....Corvettes, Chevelles, Impalas...later 60's/early 70's Camaros. Drove some epic vintage Chevy musclecars from big block Corvettes...probably most famous was LS-6 Chevelle with Muncie 4 speed. What a car this is who happened to find the right owner. Sometimes, things go as they should.
Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic! It's no wonder this was a keeper since day one. Had to laugh about the hubcaps. That's also good way to distract Dad from the 427 badges, too...
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Enjoy reading the details you see :-) My pleasure sharing with you, Lou
When I was in high school my paternal grandmother, who couldn't read a calendar any better than she could read a map forgot how old I was and I easily conned her into buying me a 1968 Impala 396. It was not an SS but it was factory ordered with twin pipes, cornering lights, bumper guards, FM stereo, power seats & windows, SS gauge package with tachometer, etc.
Dude, I thought my poopoo was pristine with one of the nicest cars in Student Parking lot. But I thought it was strange that in 1968, Chevrolet made the standard Impala a fastback roof and a formal notchback for the Super Sport.
Hi Steven, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Never saw that hood until now.....Thank you.
Hi Thomas, Happy to read the detail you notice. You're welcome, Lou
@@loucostabile One of the coolest videos I have seen. In the late 1960s I remember the police versions. NYPD light blue and white. SO COOL
The 1967 Impala 427 is in great showroom condition! Sounds like new. Congratulations to its original owner for this classic powerful Impala! Thanks for this impressive video.
Hi Juan, Happy to read you enjoy the looks and sounds of this Impala :-) You're welcome, Lou
What a Treasure!! And What a Great Gentleman Ron is to share his "Car Story" with us.....Another Excellent video,Thx Lou.
Hi irishpat64, Glad you enjoyed this "Treasure!!" :-) Fun car video with the Original Owner with a great car love story. It's my pleasure, and you're welcome, Lou
What a great story, Ron seems like such a nice and genuine guy. I’m really happy for him, it’s not often we get to re acquire the vehicle we lost and regretted we ever sold. What a beautiful SS.
Hi Michael, Happy to read you enjoy the story & looks of Ron's car :-) Lou
My Dad, My Grandfather, and My Papa Used to Drive Impala's and That Car is Absolutely Gorgeous👍
Hi Scratbrine, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Family's cars :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Perfect, a super rare original owner car... beautiful car...
Hi Dirk, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of this car :-) Lou
Chevrolet hit a home run with the 67 Chevelle, 67 Impala and the new 67 Pickup trucks!! Best of the series. For Camaro, I'd have to lean towards the 69, and Nova, 68-72. That is such a beautiful car and the story behind is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice Impala, beautiful red! It's touching how the man loves his and so amazing all he put into getting it so orig! Love that he'd never sell this baby, obviously such a part of his life, so much so I think the car would miss him too!! He represents the best true car lovers!! I enjoy always enjoy the original papers and items that are with! Really great warming story!! I enjoyed it very much!
Thank you!
Hi WickedFireFly13, Glad you found this one "touching" which is EXACTLY the right word on how the Owner feels for this car. You've done it again! Thank you, and you're welcome, Lou
HI Lou. Thanks for another trip down memory lane. Not only a beautiful car but a fantastic story from a passionate owner. The 67 Impala SS was one of my early favorites. Growing up I had a friend whose dad left a brown SS396 convertible 4 speed to rust in their side yard. My friend and I kept trying to fix it up but the old steed was beyond the limited skills and funds of a couple of starry eyed 14 year olds. The rust was so bad the back seat fell out while we were back there trying to work on getting the top fully closed. It was a sad sad day when the tow truck hauled the carcass away. I always thought one day I would find another. This car story brought back a lot of memories. I especially loved the part about the hub caps. The key story was especially sentimental.
Hi jnucci1, Glad you enjoyed the car and the story. A man who knew the right car for him :-) Lou
3,900 views & not one dislike...there may be hope for humanity after all.
:-)
Just a true Chevrolet Masterpiece, thanks Lou!
It's wonderful when they look showroom new and take you right back to that time period. You're welcome.
This is a top episode. Fantastic owner that knows his details.
High praise :-)
I had the 396ci version of this 67 SS.. SAME COLOR, VINYY TOP, AN ALL, WITH automatic, and floor Shift..Got it from Uncles used car lot, in 1972.. Beautiful Car!!

Hi Dan, Happy to read you enjoy this "Dream Car: :-) Lou
I knew someone who had 2 impala's. A 67 and a 68. Both convertibles, SS and 427 engines. He took meticulous care of them.
Hi Kurt Zimmerman, Two Impala's are twice and nice :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I bought a brand new SS427, all red with white interior. But, I didn't have the wisdom to keep it. I loved my car, and won lots of races with it. There is one difference in my car from Lou's car. Mine had SS427 emblems on the steering wheel and not a Chevrolet bowtie emblem, and it had SS427 emblem on the dash, instead of the words Super Sport.I still have the original 427 engine, as the young man that bought my car promptly spun a bearing. His dad bought a new short block, and I changed it out for them, and I kept the original engine, minus the heads and intake. It was a great, very solid car that I should have kept!
Hi Cawaynus, Great story on your car, and thank you for sharing. Regarding "I should have kept!" I believe it was Dr. Seuss who was quoted saying, "Don't be sad it's over. Be glad it happened." Thank quote helps me with people of things I no longer have, and I hope it helps you too, Lou
Wow, what a beautiful time warp. My aunt had a ‘66 Super Sport, but it was never as gorgeous as this. Incidentally my aunt traded a VW Beetle for the SS. What a difference!
Hi Dave, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Aunts car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

My mom had a 1967 Biscayne two-door red/black three-speed on the tree 283 2brl manual brakes and steering radio delete plate vinyl floor (no carpet) poverty caps vinyl seat. It had a heater. That car never let us down, got good mpg.

$3250.00 was a helluva lot of money for a teenager in 1967! That’s over $29K in today’s money, dang!
Hi Troy, You're right, Lou
Baahmmm .
Yes i bought i new !
In 1967 !
In 2022 55 years ago !!!
And, he still has it !
:-)
Thank you Ron for a beautiful car and story. Loved it. See you soon.
Hi Bob, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car and the story too, Lou
Of course the guy that sold him the cars name is CAR-L!👍🇺🇸

Thanks for sharing this,Ron. Years ago,I was lucky enough to buy a '67 SS427 convertible
from it's original owner. I've owned a lot of cool cars but that one was my favorite. I'll
always regret letting go of that one...
Hi yt white, I believe it was Dr. Seuss who said "Don't be sad it's over. Be glad it happened." That helps me with people or things I've lost, and I hope it helps you release the regreat of your loose too, Lou
An old friend of mine traded in his red '62 Impala for a new red '67 Impala SS 427 just like this one...except his is an auto trans. Same black vinyl roof....black interior....no a/c!
He passed away a few years ago...but to my knowledge his former wife still has the car....and the last time I saw it.... it had just under 20k original miles also. Amazing cars!

Hi Irfan Khan, Thank you for the wonderful comment :-) Hope you have a great weekend too, Lou
Fabulous car, Ron. I had a '68 solid Red Sport Coupe Impla with fender skirts i got from my uncle n '69 who was a salesman at our Chevy dealer. I kept that car over 20 years as my daily driver....loved it. Ran it's fanny off on top-end, cruised on highway at 70-80 like a cloud, and had great acoustics.
If u ever want to find ur '67 another home, contact me. I need my teens back. 😊

Wow. One owner. Nice SS 427 4 speed. Look at that vented hood, how rare is that. Those mid 60s GM cars rode beautifully, body by fisher. My friend had one of these but with a 327. What a car
Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Friends car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile his ss impala was nothing like this one. Not even in the same league. It was a beater, but rode beautiful

Really beautiful car. My mom had a beautiful 4 door cream color Impala with black interior and rear fender skirts. Just like this Impala, my mom’s had the optional front corner lights.

I love this story

I'm a Ford man but I love all of the older cars. When I was a teenager there was a 67 Impala for sale for a long time in this area. White with a black vinyl top and some sweet c r a g a r rims. I wanted that car so bad. I would look for it every time I drove by the house. I drove a 67 Impala when I was 17 that was owned by my then girlfriends mother. Do I ever miss the classics.

Let me know if you’re interested I have a 79 in my garage right now then I’m thinking about selling motor was completely redone it’s original motor. And the only reason I found these comments is because my first car was a 67 impala SS 396.

I test drove one of these back in June '67 and i loved it. I had a family and a limited budget, though, and ended up with a very slightly optioned Biscayne. At least i had close to the same look as i drove my powerglide slushbox-linked six.
Watching further, i see that i bought mine from the same dealer in Toledo! Small world. I was 6 years older than your guest but less solvent.
I lived in Lambertville, MI at the time.
Hi dsteele27, Happy to read this car brings back good memories of the one you test drove back in June 67 :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
My grandpa had a red 67 Impala. He got broadsided when I was very young and the car was totaled. If memory serves me right, he replaced it with a 72 Impala, so I must have been around 5 years old when this happened. That 67 was the coolest car my grandpa ever owned. It had that fastback style roof, but I have no idea what engine it had in it.

Now that is one sweet ride.
Nice :-)
Almost had tears in my eyes over this story ,because in 1967 I also ordered mine in midnight blue SS 427 from a Chevy dealer on Madison st ,think it was oak park IL. Always enjoyed taking the car to Skips drive in on North avenue to show it off ,it wasn’t the fastest but sure got some looks. Sold it a year or so later to someone in Kankakee IL ,one of my big mistakes in life and I would love to know if it’s being taking care of today.All I have is a few pictures of it and very fond memories of it. Mine was $3600. Love this story.

Gorgeous car - I always wanted an impala SS with the 4 speed. Had a red 68 Chevelle SS 396 4 speed when I was much younger but it had the 325 hp version. It’s probably still out there somewhere.
Would love to see a video of the car being driven briskly.

What a sick car beautiful
High praise :-)
I've seen only one '67 SS 427 in my lifetime, and that was when I was walking down the street one day in the late '70s; it was dark green. Like the '65 Impala SS 409 and '65 Biscayne 396 I saw during that time, I never saw it again.
Hi Keith Coppage, Rare cars indeed. Fun to see one and happy to video and share with you :-) Lou
My buddy has a 68 427 Impala 4 speed. Don't see many of these models.
Nice Sean :-) Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful

Lou's laugh kills me, "bought the car brand new".
:-)
My shop teacher had a 1967 Impala 427 FOUR DOOR with a 4 speed. Trips to the grocery store and to drop the kids at school were very quick.
Sounds like a fun Shop Teacher :-)
My first car was a used (bought in 1973) white 67 Impala 283 V8 2 speed Powerglide. I loved the car but I BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF IT and it never failed me....if I had a 427 4 speed I likely wouldn't be typing this LOL.......the GM V8's were bullet proof.

Hi Lou I was 13 years old in 1967 and I was a car nut even then. I wondered why there were two versions of the Impala SS that year, but there were. One was the "regular" Super Sport which could be ordered with any engine, it was a separate model from the Impala series. Additionally you could order the "SS 427" package on any Super Sport, and you got that louvered hood, special SS 427 emblems (which replaced the regular " Impala SS badges), plus the 427 motor and other performance upgrades. So there really WERE two Impala Super Sports that year!
