For the discriminating enthusiast, If you are looking for something unique and rare and not at every cruise or car show you have attended, this is it. This vehicle is a real 1969 SS 427 numbers matching (Z-24option code) Impala Custom. It was also one of the featured carsseen in the December 2014 issue of Super Chevy Magazine on page 32.This car was ordered new by my fatherand passed on to me in 1971. The G.M. 8" rallye wheels were installed on the car and the car was also undercoatedbefore leaving the dealership, both items were doneat a cost of $227.56, It still has all original GM sheet metal. Only 2,455 of these cars were ever produced. There are no exact numbers from GM on how many of these cars were ordered and built with a front bench seat. I have been told less than 122.The car currently has 57,124 original miles and only 1,421 milessince a complete frame off restoration.Over 1,530hours and$45,000in parts and materials were invested in the rebuild.It isprobably the nicest documented 1969 SS 427 Impala Custom Coupeon the planet.

A three angle valve job was also completed during the head rebuild process, The original typeGM 4 piece oil pan gasket was replaced with a Felpro 1 piece rubber gasket. Currently it has a set of Hooker ceramic coated headers. I put a 1967 L-68 Corvette 400 horsepower high riseoval port tri-power intakeand carb set up on this car in 1971 (The GM 427 tri power intake set up was produced for Corvette only and only for 3 years total. The one on this car was the very first year of production. This particular 1967 intake style (oval port high Rise) was only produced for the first year by GM in 1967 and is very rare, the 68 and 69 versions, whether they were 400 horse oval port or the rectangular port 435 horse were low rise intake units made by GM for hood clearance because of the Corvette body change and hood design in 68 and 69) . Thecarb's, linkageand all fuel lines, fittingsetc are brand new. I also have the original intake and a big block 390 horse Quadrajet carb, Since the complete rebuild only non-ethanol gas has been put in the car.The correct factoryexhaust manifolds and new hardware to put the engine backcompletely original are included with the sale.
