Did your car have the faux front fender,behind the wheel "gills", and the center hood chrome piece? I have only seen the fender gills on one car, back in 1972, when a neighbor had one. i think they were factory and not add ons.

It had the special hood with faux chrome intake screens, but not the fender "gills" - the fender "gills" didn't start until the 1968 model.
When I was with Chevrolet Engineering in 1966, Chassis Engineering special-ordered a '67 SS427 with the L-72 engine and 4-speed for evaluation; the L-72 was not a retail-available combination (SS427's came with a 385-hp hydraulic-lifter engine), but Engineering got it built anyway.Turns out it was the ONLY L-72/SS427 built, and I "tagged" it for employee purchase as soon as I found out about it, before it was built at Flint Assembly. It was identical to the Impala SS in the photos below except it was an SS427. Wish I still had it today, but it probably became a pile of iron oxide in the 80's. I removed the tag from the left fender reinforcement before I sold it and threw it in my toolbox.
