1969 Chevelle COPO 427

[FED 387]

not to hijack this thread but how many remember the 67-70 SS427 Impala??? Had a 67 that was in decent shape sold it to a guy that has totally restored it to the tune of about $30-40 thousand looks like a brand new car----

Yep....they were a lot larger than the "Pony" cars and Chevelles mentioned here. Love the gas milage.

69 is the best one....you could get it with a 400 Turbo.

Actually, the big car had the 427 available from 1966 until 1969.

Over on Competition Plus, they have a link to the video from the 1978 SportsNationals, Stock came down to S.E Buchanan in his D/S Mustang and Bobby Blankenship in his B/S 66 Biscayne 427/425.

All of the 66 427/425 2 door big cars were natural B cars and stick only. But there were real 66 Chevy big cars with the 427/425 and a 4 speed.

Yes, my dad and Bobby are good friends. He raced the same combo in B/S when Bobby was racing his. Very unique cars.

Had a friend when I was in high school, 3 years older than me, with a brand new 66 Chevy Caprice with a 427/425 4 speed. I didn't know it at the time but that had to be a very rare car. His dad was the front end man at the local chevy dealer.
