Re: School me on SS427s!
The number I have read and heard is 39 SS427 Convertibles were built. But I suspect it was speculation as I have never seen an official build list besides the one you mentioned. If that accurate it would be about 20% of total production with 2124 being built. I know one convertible was a raffle prize for the 1967 Worlds Fair per the owner at the time I saw it others have said it was some GM special car give away prize. It was owned by a Michigan farmer and sold recently at the Mecum Auction in 2005. It was White with red interior. The farmer raced it at the Pure Stock Drags unrestored . It had 25,000 original miles on it when I saw it and featured a whole host of factory options, among them being power front disc brakes, power windows, power drivers side bucket seat, tilt steering column with simulated wood sports steering wheel, "Comfortron" air conditioning, AM-FM stereo radio, 8 track tape player, tachometer and gauge cluster only thing it was missing was the D96 side stripes.
