Base price was $4240.00

22,940 were built in 1967.
1,423 in Ermine White.
2,415 came with the Telescoping steering wheel.

Wish I had more info on the car.

BTW, American car maker underrated HP for insurance purposes.
in 1967, there were four iterations of the 427 motor with the lowest rated at 390 HP and the highest at 435 HP. but it’s well known that the L-88 put out well over 550 HP and ran high 10 second quarter miles on bias ply tires.

Imagine what one could run today in stock trim with some decent rubber on the rear instead of those 7.75” x 15” bias ply tires?

There was a fully restored 67 427 tri power at our local concours a few weekends ago. Wonderful looking vehicle. The vehicle in the picture is not the tri power as the air filter had to be a triangle shape to accommodate the carb set up. It was also the last year for the c-2 series.

The 67-427 with side pipes was one of my all time dream cars. Of course one needs a ton of octane booster to run the car now as it had a Comp ratio close to 13 I believe. In fact one of the models I saw with the L-88 had a sticker on the dash which specified 103 octane gas be used.
