Was there ever such a combination? If so, any idea on how many where made?

It's possible. The cowl tag shows a Marina Blue/White Top Impala SS Conv, Bright Blue Interior with a tinted windshield.
I have seen one 66 Impala SS conv 396, 3 on the tree but not a 67.

Does it have the original engine?

I believe it does. I am doing this for a friend. The title is from 1974. All he gave me was the VIN and cowl tag info. I am going to have him recheck the cowl tag as he gave it to me with the info above all scrambled. I tried to put things in the right position. He may have missed a few things.

All I know is he told me it was an SS396 with three on the tree. I thought that was very odd. He was asking me if I knew how many were made. I said I would try to find out , so here I am. The car has been sitting along time and I havent seen it.

Thanks for the decode.

So it is possible that this is a 3 speed column shift SS396??

Yes it is. There would then be a blank plate in the console where the shifter would be. You could also get a 67 impala ss with a strato bench seat and 3 on the tree.

My uncle used to own a 67 impala SS396 conv, white with red strato (and power) bench seat interior and it had a TH400 on the column.

I have also seen a 69 impala SS427, burnished brown with a white bucket seat interior and it had a 3 on the tree and the console "delete" plate. It is really interesting when you see super sports with the shifter on the "tree".

Okay, thanks for the info Warren. He wants to know how many where made, but I dont know if that can be determined.

yeah. That isn't possible at the moment for US built impalas.
