This 1967 Chevrolet Impala hardtop is one of those cars that just keeps getting better and better the more you look at it. First impressions matter, nd the gorgeous paint makes this car a standout, ut it also offers a numbers-matching 396, n overdrive transmission, old factory A/C, nd original documentation to back everything up. See what we mean about impressive?Code F Marina Blue is this car's original color, nd when it looks this good, ou keep it. The bodywork is simply fantastic and that's no easy feat on a car with quarter panels as big as the side of a school bus. Tight gaps and lots of attention to detail make it look almost new and with those white stripes (borrowed from a 1969 Impala), t has a high performance look that suits the hardware underneath. The big fastback Impalas are some of the most attractive cars of the period, ombining full-sized comfort with a slippery shape that works extremely well. Just look at it in profile, he way the quarters kick up and frame the window opening, he chiseled front end, nd the familiar Impala three-element taillights. It's correctly badged with SS emblems and those crossed flags on the front fenders advertise the 396 cubic inch big block living inside. The paint has an awesome shine, here are minimal flaws, nd even the chrome shines up brilliantly. Someone spent a ton of money on this one!By 1967, ucket seats weren't the exclusive domain of the SS, nd this full-sized cruiser got a code 810-D black vinyl front bench with individual backrests that look a lot like buckets. Of course, ll the upholstery has been properly restored with correct patterns and materials, iving it a very elegant look. New carpets and door panels certainly help with the showroom feel and the big, old gauges look to have been professionally restored. The vents on the dash indicate factory A/C, hich has been upgraded to R134a refrigerant and blows ice cold today. Other options include power windows, rear defogger, nd a tilt steering column, lus the more recent addition of an AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo system in a custom console that also includes built-in cup holders. Heck, ven the clock works! As you'd expect, he back seat is big enough for full-sized adults and the trunk is positively gigantic, ven with the full-sized spare up in the front.The engine is the original, umbers-matching L35 396 cubic inch V8. Rated at 325 horsepower, t's no slouch in the performance department and makes the big coupe feel a thousand pounds lighter than it is. The engine compartment is beautifully detailed and doesn't deviate from the factory look in any way. Check out the OEM air cleaner with reproduction decals, he hoses with proper stamping and correct tower hose clamps, nd painted valve covers, ot chrome. It runs superbly and idles like a luxury car, ot a muscle machine, nd thanks to a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission, t's one of the best highway cruisers we've ever driven. Of course, s a big block Impala, 12-bolt rear end was standard equipment and it exhales through a great-sounding Flowmaster exhaust system with tips just under the rear bumper. This wasn't a rotisserie restoration, ut when the underside looks this good, here's just no reason to take the car apart at the molecular level. They did, owever, dd a set of handsome 15-inch Torque Thrust wheels and wrapped them in staggered 245/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear performance radials.Documented with things such as the original window sticker, wner's manual, nd Protect-O-Plate, ot to mention a stack of restoration receipts, his is a fantastic Impala that was upgraded just enough to make it the ultimate road trip machine.
