This is absolutely a real SS 427. Documented by GM of Canada and 2 build sheets. I sold this car 11 years ago. The customer came out from NJ to buy a different car. He was very fussy and picked this one because it was the nicest car I had. Has certified independent appraisal in 2008 for $46,500 and everything scored a 9 or 10. Since then it has been meticulously cared for and rarely used. We purchased it in... 2008 from a very prestigious Chicago car collection. He had been frame off restored by Nickey Chicago. EXTERIOR: This car is very impressive to look at even though the paint job is at least 15 years old. It has proven itself, looks like it wS painted yesterday. The body is laser beam straight. The paint looks like red glass. All of the chrome bezels, trim, lenses etc is in excellent shape. The glass is excellent and fits the top real nice. Door jambs are spotless, weatherstripping is all soft. Black convertible top is in excellent shape. The SS included a blacked out grill, SS emblems and 15 inch rally wheels. These wheels are restored, excellent trim. Has BFG tires. INTERIOR: Super nice unabused interior. Upholstery is believed to be original, has some slight cracking in the seems. I call it minor patina, overall still looks great. The door panels are mint. The dash area is mint- the lenses, gauges, knobs, vents etc. It does have a tilt wheel, bucket seats, center console, power windows and factory kick panel speakers. Upgraded stereo fits right in the factory hole. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has it's numbers matching 427-390 hp engine. A non Super Sport had 335 hp. It is completely detailed. Everything is proper tidy and clean. It has GM hoses, clamps, spring clamp battery cables, correct manifolds, valve covers, air cleaner etc. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The huge trunk compartment is perfectly clean metal with a good durable coat of spatter finish paint. The bottom of the trunk lid and the jamb are gloss red. The trunk light works. It has a complete jack assembly and a spare. Also includes a premium cloth car cover. Well liner and mat looks new. UNDERSIDE: Wow, this is immaculate underneath here. It looks completely rust free, original metal. I see the factory spot welds along the rockers. Has F-41 sport suspension. The entire front end is rebuilt and detailed. Has some factory paint markings. It has disc brakes up front. Looking up at the motor it's immaculate. The motor mounts, starter, oil pan, nuts and bolts look new. The #s match turbo 400 trans is also spotless. Drive shaft is painted, it connects to it's original 12 bolt rear end. Has sway bars front and back. Factory correct dual exhaust system. Brake lines, fuel tank look new. The entire bottom is clean, detailed and proper. This was the last year for an Impala SS. 777,000 Impalas were made in 1969. Only 2,455 Super Sports were made total (0.03%). How many were convertibles? A few hundred? This is extremely rare! Rare, documented and high quality. This is an investment grade car. I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now.
