What a beautiful Impala! The small town (2k people) where I grew up in Kansas had TWO ‘69 Caprice coupes with 427s. Both owned by elderly women. I haven’t seen one since!
That Impala was a treat to see. An older kid in my neighborhood had the exact car - and probably a Janesville as it is 60 miles from here (different color though- green or turquoise ) when I was growing up. His best friend, our next door neighbor had a Hemi GTX. They were both ‘nam vets fresh out of the service. You can imagine those grudge races.. My one memory of the hemi was the owner putting a parallel second battery in it so it would start in the cold Wisconsin winter. He eventually bought a ‘60 Chevy for the winter
@@billycarpenter4740 lol. He put studded snows on the back that first year and did a major burnout in front of the house. I still remember hearing the metal ping of the studs as they removed themselves from the tires and hit the inner fender well. Dug pretty good trenches in the asphalt, too
Back in the day test drove a '67 Impala SS427 convertible white with black top, 4 speed... smooth and strong... but my friend opted to order out a new '69 RoadRunner 383" 4 speed, instead...
My Mom's boyfriend had a 67 427 convertible impala when I was a kid. Dark green I believe with a black top. Mom drove a 67 yellow 327 Convertible impala. At four years old I couldn't make it to the lake awake with that exhaust rumble on the way. Those were good days :)
Nice find Patrick... This video brings back a flood of memories...I once owned a 67 SS427 convertible...4spd,F-41,discs.3.73 posi,guages,tilt, wood wheel,stratobench(no console),speedminder...marina blue/blue int. and white top. I've owned lots of muscle cars but this one was the best driving car I've owned other than the 64 Corvette fuelie coupe. I fell on hard times in the late 80's and sold it...Very regretably! It's in Atlanta with the guy I sold it to to this day...Thanks!
Back in the late 70's I bought a blue 67 Impala 2dr. with bench seat and automatic on the column! It was a really good car! Wow seeing this SS427 is so cool! Back in 75 or so a local Guy had the twin SS427 to this Impala also in red! One night he was driving back from the tavern all boozed up & hit a telephone pole. The car was totaled! I was just a teenager but I was so pissed at this idiot for killing what to me was the coolest car in the world. After he got out of the hospital he bought a truly outstanding 67 Mustang! Oh you got it another trip to the bar and going back home over the railroad overpass he drilled the concrete abutment at pretty high speed. One destroyed Mustang and he got another trip to the hospital but lived through it to torture more cars. Some folks really should not be allowed to drive! He was one of those!
My dad bought a 67 396 when he got back from the jungle . He and my uncle Otis. Had a still in the hills around deerlodge Tennessee ) Family tradition. ; )
I owned a '67 Impala SS back in the mid- 1970's. It was "bannana" yellow with the black vinyl top. It had a 327 backed up by a TH400 trans. My next car was a '66 Chevelle SS 396 . I paid about $ 600- 800.00 each car, back then. I've always desired a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS-5 .
@@CornpopWasaBadDude444 Just adding my experience for those that can relate. Winter time here in Florida is when most bring out their muscle cars for driving and shows. Currently I'm restoring my original owner 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham.
@@davidblackwell6914 It was fun to have owned them, back then, but I'd only want to own a 1970 Chevelle SS LS5 today. I just saw a picture of a 2023 Chevelle SS, it really looks like a Camaro.
You are incredibly lucky to be able to travel and find these cars! I love the Impala along with the Chevelle. I can respect the Challenger for it’s originality as well, would be a good driver the way it sits. When you started the Chevelle, I felt like I could smell the exhaust, we can all relate it. Great job Patrick!!
FE5 color code Challenger is called Bright Red I believe the F stands for the year of release which would be 1970 E5 is the paint color On the fender tag the code is always on the second from the bottom row of numbers followed by the Trim colors I own the same car in V2 Hemi Orange First year 1972 with a 71 Challenger motor 340 Six Pack Thanks for showing
Hey great job on the video! I just wanted to let you know that the code for the challenger is FE5 l know you said it’s not your cup of tea but thought you would want to know
I sold a nice 67 impala back in 2005 it was identical to that one except it had a bench front seat and was not a SS it was a factory 283 car with 2 speed power glide transmission all original never been touched... I do wish I would've kept it 💯
I have noticed that for 67 there was an Impala SS (with Impala on the car somewhere) and the SS427 like this car and (no Impala anywhere on the car) I have read you could have bought an Impala SS and a 427 engine and maybe came with the regular hood. Or bought an SS427 with this special hood. You may be just the guy to ask about this. My 2 questions are: does the SS427 option code include this hood and no Impala on the car? Or is there another reason for the Impala name not on this car and the special hood? I do know you could get the Impala SS with other engines . Thanks for all your videos. Keep up the great work you are doing.
For a car that is unrestored, that 73 Challenger is in amazing shape. If you told me it spent its life in the Northeast, I'd call you a liar. I grew up in NJ and you don't see survivors like that around here. Regardless of the make, they usually rusted into a pile of dust 30-plus years ago.
Patrick, I will always bear with you. You are very Knowledgeable on any car you come up on. That speaks Volumes about you on the Good Ole Muscle Cars you give information and advice. Never known you to mislead anyone on the cars you represent. Great person for someone to turn to for advice. Keep it up Brother. Raymond
That ‘70 should be put back to its original state. Red and black are beautiful no doubt, but I’d rather have the triple blue. First car I remember my mother driving was a ‘67 SS427, sadly it died and was towed away. The driver must’ve known what he was looking at because he asked if we cared if he kept the car. This was about 1979 or so upstate New York.
I'd take the Challenger. I like the '69 Chevelle for the tail lights, but for body style, the '66 and '67 Chevelles are my favs. These cars are about 15 miles from me. I wish I had the money.
@@billycarpenter4740 Back in the early-mid 70s, my older brother and his friend bought a Chevelle (either '66 or '67) and built a motor and tore out the interior. I guess they were building a drag car. I just remember them doing hole shots in the street and neighbors calling the cops. In '76 my brother went into the Marines for 4 years. He came home with a '69 Chevelle which might have ended up being mine if he hadn't hit a telephone pole and bent the frame. That '66/'67 Chevelle is still in his friend's garage.
@@JoeR203 Good times back in the mid 1970's, used and cheap muscle cars were all around. Alot of guys were still street racing and the origional purchasers of muscle cars taught us how to make them faster. In west Texas you were either a Chevy guy or a Ford guy. Blew up my '66 Chevelles 396 and replaced it with a 427, and then 2 different 454's. So easy and real good "pick'ins" at the local junk yard. Cheap fun for us young guys back then !!
@@billycarpenter4740 I was born in Dec. 1966 so my car days didn't begin until the 80s. Early 90-91, I bought a 1970 Monte Carlo. Took out the 350 and put in a 400 bored to 406. It was pushing around 400hp thanks to the (then affordable) parts from Summit Racing.
@@JoeR203 I graduated H.S. in 1977, Abilene, Texas. I have always liked those early to mid Monte Carlos. A few around us had big blocks in them when new. I owned a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham, Not a fast Cutlass, but with dual exhausts and some carb and timing adjusts it was a real nice highway cruiser. I wish GM had produced a Hi-Perf 400 back in the day . Does your 406 have Vortec heads on it ?
I thought I was aware of all the 427 options, but I never heard of the Z-74 option, unless he’s referring to the car & not the engine, so I tried researching it a little, maybe no one else has either?
My teenage years and that sound plus the smell of Leaded premium for 75 cents and you could get around for a little while if you didn't beat it. As you said that is one of the best, there's only one l bet you it is been crushed from. I hope that something gets it that is going vvet
@@Cstoreri No, it wasn’t mine. But you can tell by the black paint on the lower sections of the quarter panels. Obviously it should be body color all the way. Rust will start from the inside out, in areas where moisture gets trapped, which is always on the lower sections of the quarter panels, doors, fenders etc. What happens is the rust shows on the outside but the person owning the car doesn’t have the skills and/or money to repair it correctly. So they cut out the rust and fill it with bondo or something similar. Then the whole section(rust area) is painted black, sort of pretending it’s supposed to be like that. It’s an old used car dealer trick/hoax. Ofcourse the right fix would have been to replace the quarter panels.
@@racerx7319 Yea, I commented right after he said that but, he came around as he started showing the car. It wouldn't take much to make a nice muscle car out of that perfect body...
I had a 67 Impala SS 327, loved that car. I still have 2 SS hubcaps from that car.

@@silverstar4289 Not very common anymore. Too bad, they were nice cars. Comfortable and fast in their day. :-)

If i get an 1967 impala, im painting it black so i could be like dean winchester just saiyan
Hi friend
The mirror in driver side is original factory?
In 1970 chevelle ?
Hi Patrick,a trifecta fish fry
538 was Torque, not HP. Can't tell what the HP was because the cam scrolled past too fast..
If you are careful you can pause the video at the right spot and see the max HP number. It was 506 HP at 5600 RPM.
Cheers
Is the SS 427 an Impala?
That one is.
21:39 506 HP.
Was the impala the nascar recipe?
👍💯😝💯👍

I just realized that I drive A red 2005 Mustang, A O.
Some times I really hate watching your videos ... lol
There out there these guys who bought these new are only 68 year and older cars will surface for another 20 years.
Take a shot every time he says red.
I notice that accessory tach is nowhere near accurate lol.
quick get that disco tape out of the player before they see it at auction it will reduce the price lol
Did Pat just question the muscle of the Dodge Challenger? I call one with a slant six a muscle car. It just needs an engine change.
WELL NOT FROM THE FACTORY . A RT FROM THE FACTORY MAKES IT A MUSCLE CAR ....JUST SAYING.
@@racerx7319 Yea, I commented right after he said that but, he came around as he started showing the car. It wouldn't take much to make a nice muscle car out of that perfect body...
If it's not a musclecar, it is at least still a Pony Car.
@Dan E. Boyd I was going to comment that the Challenger is a pony car which competes with the Camaro, Trans Am, and Mustang.
E5 red looks orange against GM red.
Because that's the only one with original paint!
Anyone have a good recommendation for stock 70 SS Chevelle rotors?
I had to stop driving red cars. The tickets I got was killen me! Cops see red?
I tried to look at the 70 for a month. He has no interest in showing. Sucks I am a cash buyer lookong 0:36
not an impala, says impala no where on car
