1967 Chevrolet Impala SS and SS427
The SS427 (RPO Z24) arrives: 2,124 of about 76,000 Impala Super Sports.
United States · researched through 2026-09-22
For 1967 the SS427 package arrived as RPO Z24, and Wikipedia's fourth-generation Impala article states that 2,124 of 76,055 Impala SS models were ordered with the package, which bundled F41 suspension with the L36 427 rated 385 hp; the Classic Industries production chart independently agrees on the 2,124 figure for the SS427 itself.1,2
The Impala SS Registry's own VIN-prefix rows for 1967, 64,058 V8 and 329 six-cylinder sport coupes plus 9,499 V8 and 46 six-cylinder convertibles, sum to 73,932, well short of the 76,055 total given elsewhere; this record's own production note states plainly that the roughly 2,100-unit gap is not explained by either source and that no row has been adjusted to close it. This record's own conflict entry frames the discrepancy as an open scope question rather than a resolved dispute, since the registry's rows may simply omit the SS427 cars or some other VIN grouping rather than the two totals genuinely disagreeing about the same population. The Classic Industries chart separately rounds the year to about 76,000, split into roughly 400 six-cylinder and 75,600 V8 cars, a split that this record's own conflict entry does not attempt to reconcile with the registry's own more precise six-cylinder counts. Context figures from the same chart give 575,600 non-SS Impalas of all bodies and 29,937 full-size convertibles for the year; as with the missing 1967 GM Heritage vehicle information kit's own production data, no further reconciliation was available from a citable source.3,1,2
Car Life's May 1967 road test gives a list price FOB factory of $3,003 for the SS427, a figure this record's own price note describes as independently matching the Impala SS V8 Sport Coupe row in a separate, same-year Over-Drive compiled production and price chart. The same test car, fully equipped, priced out at $4,903 once fitted with the SS427 package itself, emission controls, power steering and brakes, an AM/FM stereo radio and stereo tape player, air conditioning, appearance groups, a limited-slip differential, the Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission, and a special instrument package, an almost $1,900 gap between the base list price and a fully optioned example, reflecting the long list of options this record's own price note enumerates for the test car specifically.4
The L36 427 is rated 385 hp, standard equipment on the SS427. Chevrolet's own regular-production-options list documents the rest of the 1967 engine lineup available across the V8 series, including the Impala SS: the L30 327-cu-in V8 at 275 hp, the L35 396-cu-in V8 at 325 hp, the L36 427-cu-in V8 at 385 hp listed again as its own separate regular-production option, and the N10 dual exhaust option.1
Identification detail includes the VIN prefixes themselves, 16787 and 16887 for the six-cylinder and V8 sport coupe and 16767 and 16867 for the six-cylinder and V8 convertible, matching a model-number breakdown placing the Super Sport in the 167-16800 series, four-passenger in both body styles, with the leading three digits again distinguishing six-cylinder from V8 cars as in the identification scheme this record carries for the year. No paint colors, no interior trim codes, no specifications, and no performance-test data were found in an accessible documented source for the year, so those sections carry nothing further in this record beyond the production, price, and engine data already described.3
