Hi, If you like this video, please click on the 3 horizontal dots to reveal ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
There is no 3 horizontal dots to tap that I can see, only 3 vertical, but it just says report. I’d love to have this car, but it would be more than I could afford anyway, some amount in 6 digits for sure. The engine didn’t sound like the 427 435 hp though, that would’ve had a solid lifter cam. The 396 425 hp in the 1965 Impala SS was a sold lifter cam with a factory 7000 rpm tach in the instrument panel, showing a 6400 rpm shift point, but it was in a crappy location for any serious use. And btw, the 427 435 hp tri carb engine wasn’t the most powerful 427 offered, far from it. Although Chevrolet wanted everyone to think so, because they didn’t want it in the hands of irresponsible crazy ass baby boomer’s, but was meant for professional racing drivers, and it was considerably more money, along with no added amenities, and so it wouldn’t have made sense to buy it, when it was rated at the same horse power. It was the 427 L-88, that was deceivingly, rated at the same 435 hp, but at only 5300 rpm,. But in actuality it developed 550 + hp at 6400 rpm, and that was with restrictive exhaust manifold’s, that were immediately discarded and replaced with headers. And so with a little added tuning and tweaking, these were easily 600 + hp engines.
Very nice Chevy! I did not know about the Chevy SS angle- I always assumed that they were Impala SSs. Beautiful Chevrolet. Thanks Lou for bringing this classic to us and for everything that you do.
Same deal for the '66 Nova lineup , the '66 was Not a Nova SS , but a Chevy II SS , not a single Nova emblem to be found anywhere in or on the car . There were five Chevy II , three SS and three Super Sport emblems , but no Nova's .
Lou, not only do you manage to find and document some of the most desirable cars ever built, but you also manage to get the most knowledgable and enthusiastic of car owners behind those classics. It's the stories these folks bring, that gives these cars a special meaning!
Wow!!! This car is absolutely beautiful. So clean, black paint without any imperfections, even the glassware over all the gages looks perfect and new. The 427 engine is museum quality. Thank you both for the opportunity to see a real gem.
Boy, you are right about the paint. It's fantastic! And this Chevy definitely knows how to get down the road, too. Thanks for finding & sharing Mr. Mroz and his '67 SS with us, Lou!
I had the great opportunity to meet/talk with Ron a few times.He's a Great "Down to Earth" guy who doesn't mind answering questions and giving you his time.Great Car/Great Guy
50 years ago I installed a 1970 LS6 454 in a 65 Impala. I drag raced it. Best e.t. 1257@112 mph.I love this 67. I’m a big guy and I love big cars.Bravo
During the years that cars like this could be seen on the street, I only saw three full-size 427 Chevrolet cars. One of them was a Biscayne, and the other two were SS 427 Cars. They were pretty quick for what they were. They were nice looking too. This example is a beautiful car. The owner deserves to be proud.
My dad years ago pulled the same trick on my mother lol My dad couldn't get his high performance car she said we need a station wagon well back then you could order anything so he ordered a 68 Dodge Coronet wagon with a 440 automatic in it and it's still tore up the streets fond of memories now as for me about 15 years ago I purchased a 1969 Impala triple black which originally was a 396 car for the person before I got it scattered the motor so when I purchased it it had a 454 in it should have never sold their car what a nice cruiser it was and this one had power windows power brakes power steering air conditioning all the creature comforts
My dad (our garage) had a 67 ss 396, it was good shape no rust, no dents, in the 60's 70's 80's we ran a garage and junk yard we pulled the engine and crushed it. Watching this is hard to do after what we did. We seen all muscle cars come and go just like other cars. 64.5 mustang nice we sold for $1250. 66 and 67ss chevells came and went just as easy. Why couldn't we see into the future just a little bit. Dad sold a 57chevy in good shape for $625. It's so sad we remember those things...

Este es un espectacular Chevrolet Chevy SS427 Super Sport! La verdad que ése color "Negro Tuxedo" resulta embriagante a la vista; y hace que resalten aún más, sí se quiere, todas sus espectaculares líneas y cromados! El interior no se queda para nada atrás, con su tapicería en negro y su precioso panel de instrumentos y volante en madera para deleite visual! Un vehículo muy cuidado para sus 30 años que tiene ya con su propietario. Ah, y como siempre, el clásico y relajante paseo final escuchando una muy interesante historia... ¡Saludos cordiales Lou!
One detail that I didn't hear mentioned is that the front seat is a "Strato-back" bench seat. It's a bench seat with bucket seat backs, so it looks sporty, and with a wide center fold-down armrest for added comfort. So, that's why it has a column shifter. So, while most Super Sports came with buckets and console shift, the Strato-back bench was an option on any Super Sport and Caprice. I have a 67 Impala SS with the Strato-back bench, and it's my favorite seat for those cars, since it gives you a comfy place to rest your right arm, or you can flip up the armrest and sit next to your date if you want to.

Beautiful Car! My mom, in 1968, drove a 1967 Impala with the 327, AC/PS/ PDB and an AM/FM radio. One thing I remember was the blue tinted glass because of the AC.
Love it! Black/gold (orig) CA plate car! Don't see them and for '67 the fast back was far and few in between here in SE VA. My '67 Caprice 2 dr hdtp had the 327 w/400 auto trans posi traction buckets/console factory A/C, blue/black vinyl top/blue interior (blue was fading so I painted her black like this one). Dad put a cam in it for me and it was performing like an SS....but way too harsh on gas so stock cam went back in ! This guy has a gem!
Thank you Lou for bringing these cars in their owners to our attention. I like the way you ask the questions and allow them to give full complete answers and the extra tidbits of information that make this so interesting
WOW .. a real power house style engineering auto .. beautiful detail inside, outside --- unbelievable condition. ... love it and would love to take this beauty everywhere around town blasting the radio 70's dancing music ... fun stuff Lou .. thanks ...
When I watch these videos, with the two of you just talking about the vehicle and the packages, options etc. I don't thinkyou realize that you are just talking, but a lot of us really learn facts that we didn't know before. Great video and detail as always. Thanks Lou. Thumbs up!
Hi Brian, Happy to read you're learning. I'm learning from the Caretakers all the time, and I find that to be so much fun. My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
Absolutely incredible…! Black on black with a 427! Those had to of been the absolute best, cars like that in the driveway as daily drivers! What a time to be alive! Another great video Lou…💪🏻💎🏁
Many people get the SS427 confused with an Impala Super Sport with a 427 bbc. That hood only came on the SS427, and they are very rare and expensive if one is found. Btw, unusual that it's a column shift car. Every one I've seen were floor consoles.
Because the seat is a bench, it has a column shift. That seat is a bench seat with a center fold-down armrest, and is called a "Strato-back bench" because the backs are the same as the Strato-bucket seat backs. So with the Strato backs, it makes this bench seat look sporty. And the center armrest adds comfort. While most Super Sports had buckets with a floor shift console, the Strato-back bench was optional in any Super Sport and Caprice. I had one in a 67 Impala SS fastback. It's my favorite seat for these cars.
Always been a big fan of the Super Sports, Lou. Ron's done a great job, and I love it that he's kept it so long. My car in high school was a '65 Impala S. S. convertible - rally blue, white top, 327. Those were the days...
Very nice super sport this was my time cars along with the 50's cars a friend of mine who is gone now had a red Impala 327 4 speed that was a very nice car sure do miss these thanks Lou.
Lou you brought me down memory lane I had a 67 Impala Super Sport but mine was the 327 four barrel also you pointed at that canister it looked like a tin cans that painted black that's a canister vac
Sweet,sweet ride w/ legendary performance to boot. One of the first shows from Kindiggit design featured a 67,427 triple black convertible w/ air ride on American racing 20"s. That car made me drool a little! This one's very nice too.
I always liked the 1967 full sized Chevys. The Bel Air, the Impala, the Caprice, and the SS had the 3 light combination on the back. Only the Biscayne had the duals, that year only. Great video as always!

Hi Lou this is one of my favorite Classic Chevys :-) Of note; the 3 carburetor version of the 427 was L72, not L71. Even though this 425 horsepower monster motor wasn't available in 1967 for the.big Chevys, it WAS available in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Also, this car features the optional "Strato-Bench" front seat that was styled like the buckets. When you ordered the bench seat and the automatic, you got a column shifter and no center console...like with your featured car
Hi Bruce, Happy to read you enjoy this car & Owner :-) Glad to read you learned something. I'm learning all the time from the Caretakers and I find that to be so much fun :-) Lou
The 1967 Chevrolet was a rather odd year, as well as the following year 1968. I never realized that Chevy made a Super Sport package that was not an actual Impala. I was surprised to see it equipped with a column gearshift rather than the floor console gate shifter. That 427 engine sounded healthy as well. I didn't know that they only made the Super Sport SS package from 1967-1969. Perhaps that's why I never saw a 1970 Chevy in a fastback style. Looked awesome in its Tuxedo Black paint job! Interesting car Lou!
Like, you, I never realized they made just and SS package. I'm not a huge fan of the 67 or 68 model years designs. 62 thru 66 were my favorite model years of the 60's. I had a 66 Impala Super Sport with a 396 and turbo hydramatic on the floor console. Wish I still had it and it was restored like this one
@@stevegordon5243 Hou must regret selling that! My 1st car was a 72 Chevelle that had a good engine but a lot of cancer. I had a blast for 3 years but ended up giving to a family member who junked it a few years later…..back the you could have bought a 1970 Challenger for $1,000!
@@davidthompson62 For sure! I also had a 72 Chevelle that was in pretty decent shape. Ended up selling it to a buddy in 2001 that did a complete frame off restoration. Looks fantastic now!
Seeing all of the detail on this car, especially on the inside, made me ralize how nice this car really is when compared to just seeing one roll by on the street
Goodday Lou, Another great video as per usual. Can fault a 427 Big Block Chevrolet in that beautiful hardtop fastback body. So glad that something I can now confirm is that these muscle cars were known as a SS 427 Chevrolet not a Impala. Absolutely stunning & a great ride & chat. Your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia. Louis Kats ☺👍 Loui
Grandparents bought a 67 Caprice new, still remember riding in it as a kid. 4 seasons ac would quit for 4 seasons. 2 days after getting it back from the dealer poof, gone again. Late 80s I took posession of it. What a great fwy cruiser that car was. Great styling front to back! Grille has the same batwing shape and look as the chevelles that yr
Beautiful car. As a teen in the early 70s a friend of my brother bought a 67 SS427, 4 SPD . Only had it two months and wrote it off. Driving drunk, spun out and hit a pole backwards. No one would talk to him for weeks for destroying that car.
the '67 Impala was definitely a car that was absolutely well thought of for the year of 1967 in America. Its rebellious style that screams sign of the times.

@@leeketner6488 uhm in the 67, if you noticed, the C pillar of the Impala 2 door, became thinned out and more angled compared to 65-66. One of the reasons I admired the Impala’s design cues is that it corresponds with the era of the United States. This is my stricly, MY OPINION, the 58-64 Impala designs signifies the last remaining era of a wholesome America. And when the 65 redesign came out, it’s new rebellious style is a far cry from the conservative 64. That design cue just says America is losing its wholesomeness unto a new generation of chaos, destruction etc..
@loucostabile unfortunately, I went down on 2 wheels Nov. 20, 2020 and the helmet came off. It left me with a TBI, and driving myself scares me. I'm praying that one day it gets better or even goes away... it's a balance issue.
Lou , thanks for bringing another cool car to your channel. The 67 SS427 is one of my favorite cars. There was a guy in my hometown that actually had a red one four speed and I believe 411 gears , the first thing I noticed was the 427 emblems on the fender and the next thing was the cool Hood.He used to come into the drive-in restaurant cuz he liked one of the girls that was a car hop and it was on my paper route I actually liked the car so much I actually bought the AMT model and painted it red I still have it stored away with all my other old models. Thanks for posting also I still didn't get to meet you at MCACN maybe next year.
Hi Nova Wagon, Happy to read this is a favorite of yours :-) Glad to read you have a model of this car. NICE! You're welcome. If you see me at a car show, say hello and we'll go and find some fun ones for the Channel, Lou
Beautiful car and thanks for sharing. These were very rare to see along with the 68 and 69. Technically they are Impalas. Chevrolet sales literature indicated the SS427 equipment could be added to the Impala Super Sport model. It was devoid of the Impala name although the logo is on the rear speaker. In 1969 the SS427 also carried the Impala name. Either way fantastic car that was a delight to see featured.

The one I worked on in 68-69 didn't have a smog pump. That threw me off for a minute but Cal car cleared that up. Still one of my two favorite cars ever. My friend still has the original motor out of his 67
In 1975 I bought a 67 SS 427 / 385 HP with the original drivetrane for $650 (it just had headers on it as the only changed part). It came with the Window Sticker as well- it had the bucket seats / 4 speed / console / posi and was Marina Blue with 85,000 miles. I beat the car hard and sold it a year later for $750 and it was burning about a quart of oil every 100 miles lol - JUST LOVE the Giant Fastback style !~

NICE ONE LOU! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Thank you for bringing us all Great Content all year round. 😊 I remember our Neighbors daughter came home with a brand new Purple 1967 Biscayne sedan with the largest Engine. She only cared about the color. She took my mom to the store and my mom came back holding her head and kept saying she heard ringing in her ears and said she thought she was in a Amusement park ride. She had to go to bed for the night LOL. I never caught on until I was a little older what really took place lol.

Very nice! During my high school years there was a cop in the city who would buy a new Chevy every year. They were always black on black and statring in 1967 they were always SS 427's In 1971 I think it was a black on black Monte Carlo SS 454.
Sweet If I had only known then mine was blue and a 4 speed 373 posi...... This L 36 engine was also a 390 in a corvette with holley 4 bbl and a 400 HP tripower in a vette
@@loucostabile most definitely was. I bought a SS427 a couple months back. Going need lot love and even more money. But it was so nice to see such a well done and loved car on RUclips.

Hi Guitarhole, High praise :-) Lou
Many people get the SS427 confused with an Impala Super Sport with a 427 bbc. That hood only came on the SS427, and they are very rare and expensive if one is found. Btw, unusual that it's a column shift car. Every one I've seen were floor consoles.
Hi Cousin Strawberry, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Lou
Because the seat is a bench, it has a column shift. That seat is a bench seat with a center fold-down armrest, and is called a "Strato-back bench" because the backs are the same as the Strato-bucket seat backs. So with the Strato backs, it makes this bench seat look sporty. And the center armrest adds comfort. While most Super Sports had buckets with a floor shift console, the Strato-back bench was optional in any Super Sport and Caprice. I had one in a 67 Impala SS fastback. It's my favorite seat for these cars.
Always been a big fan of the Super Sports, Lou.
Ron's done a great job, and I love it that he's kept it so long.
My car in high school was a '65 Impala S. S. convertible - rally blue, white top, 327.
Those were the days...
Hi Dave, Happy to read you're a Big Fan of the SS's :-) Glad to read you had a cool car too, Lou
That’s: Not An Impala - Not: Not A Impala… I appreciate all your videos Lou.. I was born in ‘44…

Hi Leroy, Ahhh good times. Good news! You can still see ones like this one the Channel to bring back good memories. You're welcome, Lou
Lou you brought me down memory lane I had a 67 Impala Super Sport but mine was the 327 four barrel also you pointed at that canister it looked like a tin cans that painted black that's a canister vac
Hi Alton, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Sweet,sweet ride w/ legendary performance to boot. One of the first shows from Kindiggit design featured a 67,427 triple black convertible w/ air ride on American racing 20"s. That car made me drool a little! This one's very nice too.
Hi Richard, Happy to read you enjoy this "Sweet,sweet ride" :-) Lou
I always liked the 1967 full sized Chevys. The Bel Air, the Impala, the Caprice, and the SS had the 3 light combination on the back. Only the Biscayne had the duals, that year only. Great video as always!
Hi Scott, Happy to read you like the full sized Chevys :-) Appreciate the kind words on the video, Lou
Thanks Lou, this car has it all, It's a 'just wow' dream car and I really appreciate this awesome feature today fellas 👍👍

all the GOOD stuff big block a/c ss 6 passenger ride one of your best car profiles LOU thanks again
Hi Kenneth, Happy to read you enjoy "all the GOOD stuff" with this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Hi Lou this is one of my favorite Classic Chevys :-)
Of note; the 3 carburetor version of the 427 was L72, not L71. Even though this 425 horsepower monster motor wasn't available in 1967 for the.big Chevys, it WAS available in 1966, 1968 and 1969.
Also, this car features the optional "Strato-Bench" front seat that was styled like the buckets. When you ordered the bench seat and the automatic, you got a column shifter and no center console...like with your featured car
Hi Bill, Happy to read "this is one of my favorite Classic Chevys :-)". Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Nice job Lou, great full-sized bowtie!

Hi Bruce, Happy to read you enjoy this car & Owner :-) Glad to read you learned something. I'm learning all the time from the Caretakers and I find that to be so much fun :-) Lou
OMG that roof line! Wow! Thanks for another great video, this is a fantastic channel.
Hi William, High praise :-) You're welcome, and I appreciate the kind words on the Channel, Lou
The 1967 Chevrolet was a rather odd year, as well as the following year 1968. I never realized that Chevy made a Super Sport package that was not an actual Impala. I was surprised to see it equipped with a column gearshift rather than the floor console gate shifter. That 427 engine sounded healthy as well. I didn't know that they only made the Super Sport SS package from 1967-1969. Perhaps that's why I never saw a 1970 Chevy in a fastback style. Looked awesome in its Tuxedo Black paint job! Interesting car Lou!
The floor shifter was an additional option back then. You had to pay the extra $30-$40 to get it.
Hi Michael, Thanks for sharing what you notice. Glad to read you enjoy the looks and sounds from this car, Lou
Like, you, I never realized they made just and SS package. I'm not a huge fan of the 67 or 68 model years designs. 62 thru 66 were my favorite model years of the 60's. I had a 66 Impala Super Sport with a 396 and turbo hydramatic on the floor console. Wish I still had it and it was restored like this one
@@stevegordon5243 Hou must regret selling that! My 1st car was a 72 Chevelle that had a good engine but a lot of cancer. I had a blast for 3 years but ended up giving to a family member who junked it a few years later…..back the you could have bought a 1970 Challenger for $1,000!
@@davidthompson62 For sure! I also had a 72 Chevelle that was in pretty decent shape. Ended up selling it to a buddy in 2001 that did a complete frame off restoration. Looks fantastic now!
Merry Christmas Lou from Pflugerville, Texas. Another great video of American Muscle Car history.
Merry Christmas James C :-) My pleasure sharing with you.
Seeing all of the detail on this car, especially on the inside, made me ralize how nice this car really is when compared to just seeing one roll by on the street
Hi Sabba_Dabba, My pleasure sharing this one with you :-) Glad you enjoy the details, Lou
Gorgeous SS 427! Very seldom seen!! Great video Lou, Seasons Greetings buddy!🎄🎄🎄
Hi Vincent, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Seasons Greetings to you to Buddy! Lou
Goodday Lou,
Another great video as per usual. Can fault a 427 Big Block Chevrolet in that beautiful hardtop fastback body.
So glad that something I can now confirm is that these muscle cars were known as a SS 427 Chevrolet not a Impala.
Absolutely stunning & a great ride & chat.
Your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia.

Goodday Louis, Happy to share this "Heavy Chevy" with you :-) Thank you for being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou
Grandparents bought a 67 Caprice new, still remember riding in it as a kid.
4 seasons ac would quit for 4 seasons. 2 days after getting it back from the dealer poof, gone again. Late 80s I took posession of it.
What a great fwy cruiser that car was. Great styling front to back!
Grille has the same batwing shape and look as the chevelles that yr

Beautiful car. As a teen in the early 70s a friend of my brother bought a 67 SS427, 4 SPD . Only had it two months and wrote it off. Driving drunk, spun out and hit a pole backwards. No one would talk to him for weeks for destroying that car.
Hi Doug Boys, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Brothers Friends car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
As an fan of the Impala SS I didn't know that Chevy had built this particular Impala without calling it a Impala I am surprised for sure.
the '67 Impala was definitely a car that was absolutely well thought of for the year of 1967 in America. Its rebellious style that screams sign of the times.

65 - 68 impalas , the body stayed the same.
@@leeketner6488 uhm in the 67, if you noticed, the C pillar of the Impala 2 door, became thinned out and more angled compared to 65-66. One of the reasons I admired the Impala’s design cues is that it corresponds with the era of the United States. This is my stricly, MY OPINION, the 58-64 Impala designs signifies the last remaining era of a wholesome America. And when the 65 redesign came out, it’s new rebellious style is a far cry from the conservative 64. That design cue just says America is losing its wholesomeness unto a new generation of chaos, destruction etc..
I'd like to have another '67 Chevelle... mine wasn't original. But it DID have a BUILT 454 w/ a B&M Streetfighter 400...
LOTS of FUN
Hope you're behind the wheel of the right car for you soon.
@loucostabile unfortunately, I went down on 2 wheels Nov. 20, 2020 and the helmet came off. It left me with a TBI, and driving myself scares me.
I'm praying that one day it gets better or even goes away... it's a balance issue.
My all-time favourite car. One day I will own one of these!
Hi No Name, Happy to read for you this is "My all-time favourite car." :-) Hope you're behind the wheel of the right one for you soon, Lou
Lou , thanks for bringing another cool car to your channel. The 67 SS427 is one of my favorite cars. There was a guy in my hometown that actually had a red one four speed and I believe 411 gears , the first thing I noticed was the 427 emblems on the fender and the next thing was the cool Hood.He used to come into the drive-in restaurant cuz he liked one of the girls that was a car hop and it was on my paper route I actually liked the car so much I actually bought the AMT model and painted it red I still have it stored away with all my other old models. Thanks for posting also I still didn't get to meet you at MCACN maybe next year.
Hi Nova Wagon, Happy to read this is a favorite of yours :-) Glad to read you have a model of this car. NICE! You're welcome. If you see me at a car show, say hello and we'll go and find some fun ones for the Channel, Lou

@Peter ... Happy to share this "SUPER CLEAN 427" with you :-) Appreciate the kind words, $ support, and HAPPY FRIDAY to you! Lou
Beautiful car and thanks for sharing. These were very rare to see along with the 68 and 69. Technically they are Impalas. Chevrolet sales literature indicated the SS427 equipment could be added to the Impala Super Sport model. It was devoid of the Impala name although the logo is on the rear speaker. In 1969 the SS427 also carried the Impala name. Either way fantastic car that was a delight to see featured.

In 1975 I bought a 67 SS 427 / 385 HP with the original drivetrane for $650 (it just had headers on it as the only changed part). It came with the Window Sticker as well- it had the bucket seats / 4 speed / console / posi and was Marina Blue with 85,000 miles. I beat the car hard and sold it a year later for $750 and it was burning about a quart of oil every 100 miles lol - JUST LOVE the Giant Fastback style !~

NICE ONE LOU! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Thank you for bringing us all Great Content all year round. 😊 I remember our Neighbors daughter came home with a brand new Purple 1967 Biscayne sedan with the largest Engine. She only cared about the color. She took my mom to the store and my mom came back holding her head and kept saying she heard ringing in her ears and said she thought she was in a Amusement park ride. She had to go to bed for the night LOL. I never caught on until I was a little older what really took place lol.

Very nice! During my high school years there was a cop in the city who would buy a new Chevy every year. They were always black on black and statring in 1967 they were always SS 427's In 1971 I think it was a black on black Monte Carlo SS 454.
