A friend of mine from my home town of Galatia IL asked me to go on a trip with him to a town south of Louisville KY. I believe the town is Hodgenville Ky. We were on the search for a 1969 Impala SS 427. We found a very decent car with documentation . It was an Impala Custom with the original engine and automatic transmission. It was missing the original intake and carb . For some reason it was missing the bucket seats and the lower rear seat . The console was there and in the trunk was what I believe the original hub caps. The plan is to restore it to original. The color is silver with a black vinyl top . It also had the AM FM radio . It had the wood style steering wheel. The car also had power steering . I noticed it was a Janesville car . The engine pad was stamped T0327 LI with the partial vin. I really enjoyed the part when they were going back and forth on a final price for the car. This is the second time that I have been fortunate enough to go on an adventure with someone to purchase a 69 Impala SS . The first time was a few years ago when Mack Yarbrough and I went to Loraine Ohio to purchase and pick up his car. My 2nd great car adventure. John
