1967 Chevrolet Impala SS
Distinctive Coke bottle styling with Corvette-inspired front and rear fender bulges marked the completely redesigned Super Sport for 1967. The curves were most pronounced on the 1967-1968 models, giving this full-size muscle car an aggressive stance that set it apart from previous generations.
The 1967 Impala SS featured a unique grille with black-painted accents behind the horizontal bars and relocated body-side moldings. Instead of the beltline trim used on regular Impalas, the SS had lower rocker panel moldings with black-accented inserts that flowed over the rear wheel openings, giving the car a sleeker, sportier appearance.
Special wheel covers carried the “SS” logo surrounded by a tri-color ring of red, white, and blue, while “Chevrolet” and “Impala” callouts on the body were replaced by “Impala SS” badges.
The SS came standard with either vinyl bucket seats and a center console or a Strato-Bench seat with fold-down armrest. Engine options ranged from a base 250 cubic inch inline-six producing 155 horsepower up to the 427 cubic inch Turbo-Jet V8. The 427 was offered in two versions: the L36 rated at 385 horsepower and the solid-lifter L72 rated at 425 horsepower.
Transmission choices included a 3-speed manual, 4-speed manual, or 2-speed Powerglide automatic, depending on engine selection.
Of the 76,055 Impala SS models built, just 2,124 were ordered with RPO Z24, a special performance package that included the L36 427, F41 heavy-duty suspension, special SS427 badging, and front disc brakes as standard equipment. These SS427 models were the most performance-oriented Impalas available in 1967.
