A well-executed restoration can really do wonders for a vehicle, as is evidenced by this 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS Fastback. Now, this gorgeous Super Sport is up for sale in Illinois.
Let’s start outside, where we find this Chevrolet Impala SS finished in a silky smooth, two-tone paint job. The top half is done in a silver metal flake, while the bottom is done in black, all while a red pinstripe divides the halves. A glossy clearcoat was then applied on top, and the result is a mirror finish. The door jambs were painted as well, while every piece of trim was either redone or replaced. There’s also new 396 emblems in the sides, as well as new SS emblems, new mirrors, and new door handles. The wheels are 17-inch by 10-inch Torque Thrust rollers wrapped with Nitto tires.
Moving inside, we see brand-new white upholstery, which looks like it hasn’t seen a mile on the road. The cranks, armrests, and handles are new as well, as are the sill plates, weatherstripping, and window seals. Even the windshield is new. This 1967 Chevrolet Impala also comes with a rare Multiplex stereo, although the previous owner installed something a bit more modern for the tunes. The factory air conditioning keeps things cool.
Although the side badging says 396, this 1967 Chevrolet Impala was later fitted with a 454 V8 engine, which is topped by dual quads and throws down 450 horsepower. Highlights for the ‘eight include an aluminum Edelbrock intake, finished in orange, as well as custom fuel lines and fittings, an electric choke, and new ignition and headers from HEI. There’s also plenty of chrome dress-up pieces, while the bottom of the hood is painted as well. Sending the power rearwards is a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, which connects to the original 12-bolt rear end.
The previous owner says he sunk some $60,000 into restoring this 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS, and it definitely shows. Now, it’s listed for sale by Volo Auto Sales in Illinois for $38,998.

Always loved those big-block battleships. This one is absolutely sweeeet.
Yeah, so sweet. And for $39.000, you couldn’t get a first class restoration, like this car, if you tried to do it yourself. It’s interesting that the car even has the rare cornering lights at the ends of the grille, when most ’67s had the black filler pieces, instead. I did not know that the SS series had the four circle instrument cluster, similar to that of the Camaros, as most Chevys of that era had a wide, rectangular speedometer
The 1967 SS left rear right brake light is not working. You might want to have that repaired before it is sold.
Good eye! I had a 1963 Impala SS327/300, those back lights were quite touchy. Can’t tell you how many times I had to replace or rewire them. Luckily, access was simple.
But you are right- get that done before the sale.
I try my best!
Not a “restoration”!!!!!
Well, maybe a restomod, but from my eyes it’s more “resto” than “mod.” Sure, the paint scheme isn’t factory, nor are the wheels brakes and powertrain. But, likely the original mechanicals were past their life, and it was likely quicker and cheaper to update than to search for expensive OEM parts. However, the interior looks as though it just left the factory. I certainly could live with the car.
My dad had a 1965 impala SS396 turbo 400, complete with a 8 track player and a cb radio. That was a cool car, I wish I could find it and buy her. I miss him very much, he also had a 1946 chevy pickup with a 348 4 speed. He made me a gear head. The 67 is sweet.
ill take it

Go online and do a search for “currency conversions.” There are several websites that can do that for you. You just type in the amount in $USD and select $CAD and you’ll have tour answer immediately. The dollar amount the delivery service will charge, if you chose to have the car delivered, will likely be a different amount than delivery to anywhere in the USA.
Is this 1967 impala ss still available for sale? I’m referring the black and silver tw tone paint thanks
