The Chevrolet L-72 big-block 427 V8 has always been a highly sought after engine among collectors. This was the engine of choice for Yenko and is the engine that powered the legendary COPO Camaros and COPO Chevelles. In 1969, the L72 427 was an non-advertised option for full size Chevrolets and was not offered in the Camaro or Chevelles outside of the COPO programs. This very original 1969 Impala 427SS is 1 of 546 full-size Chevrolet's in 1969 to receive the legendary L-72 425HP 427 V8.

The exterior is complimented nicely by its correct "427" and "SS" badges, factory steelies with dog dish hubcaps, and redline poliglass tires.
