1969 Impala SS 427
Hello everyone, been away for a while. Found something interesting: 69 Impala SS 427/ 98K original miles,390 h.p. A/C buckets Th400 $1,800 in options. it has the original owner POP, the dealer shipper paperwork and reciepts back to 1971 on oil changes, and maintenance. Now, I think the man selling the car is up front and honest, but I need to know are there any nuances a SS 427 would have over a standard Impala? Here are the numbers:
Engine T1121LI Trans. C69B 340B CB69 Rear Axle EM 1216 GZ Also, what is the exact numbers of a SS 427 with a TH400 from the factory? Any help would be appreciated........Thanks Joel |

Re: 1969 Impala SS 427
Joel,
From memory, all your numbers work out. The '69 SS427 used 390 hp engines whereas the Caprices and base Impalas (generally) used the 335 hp version though exceptions have been found and both ways I might add. I personally have a '69 335 hp 427 that was pulled from a '69 SS in 1979 so it can happen. I also have the POP for that car. Your trans and rear numbers also sound correct. The differences between a '69 standard 427 and an SS427 are very few. Basically emblems which are all easily added and that is why it is so easy to fake a '69. However, with your documentation, that should be a non issue. If I understood your last question correctly, there were 2455 '69 SS427's built. I know of no honest figures that determine how many of those were auto compared to manual though the automatic was obviously much more common. Also, check out www.impalass427.com if you haven't already. Rick

Re: 1969 Impala SS 427
IF BY CHANCE IT IS A CANADIAN CAR, IT SHOULD HAVE "Z24" ON THE COWL TAG DENOTING THE SS427 OPTION. '69 SS427 IMPALA'S ARE PROBALY ONE OF THE EASIEST MUSCLE CARS TO FAKE, PAPER WORK IS VERY IMPORTANT WITH THESE CARS.

Re: 1969 Impala SS 427
Hi Guys. Thanks for the info. Mr 70-Larry Roesch Aug 24th
Chevy show, are you going? Rick, are you going to Oshkosh Fly in? Thanks for the help. I think I am going to get this car as I like TH400 equipped SS cars. (Not to good with a 4-speed, 1985 destroyed a M-22 clutch, throwout bearing, and 1st gear in a 1970 LS-5 Chevelle, I know my limitations). I knew a 69 SS427 was rare, but didn't know it was rarer than a 69 Camaro L-78. I will send pictures to all interested parties when I get the car.........Joel 1969 SS Camaro L-78/TH400 1969 C-20 396/TH400 1969 SS 427/TH400 Impala (soon) |

DAN, A LAURENTIAN IS A CANADIAN PONTIAC. THEY ARE BASICALLY FULLSIZE CHEVS WITH PONTIAC BODYPANELS AND INTERIOR. THE DRIVETRAINS, FRAME, FLOOR-PANS & COWL ARE ALL CHEVROLET. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
