Perfectly Restored 1969 Chevy Impala SS 427 – Muscle in the Full Size Family Car

May 8, 2017 by Paul Crowe

The subtle sleeper, a 1969 Chevy Impala SS 427

At the height of the 1960s muscle car era, manufacturers were combining high horsepower engines with almost every car in their lineup.

1962 Plymouth Valaint Signet

Sure, I know what you're thinking, what's so special about an early 60s Plymouth Valiant with a Slant Six?
