Welcome to the site Portert471. I'm a big fan of the 67 and in fact was hoping to find a 67 Vert when I stumbled across my 66 junk yard dog in my avatar.
You definitely have some options but as noted above - definitely approach anything 'NOS' on Ebay with a lot of caution. You'd really want to 'vet' that Seller and their history of NOS parts selling.
I see 67 quarter patches out there at both Vendors/Retailers and on Ebay. (depending upon whether you need front, back, lip or the bigger piece)

1967-1968 Chevy Impala 2-Door Rear Quarter Front Patch Panel RIGHT OER | eBay (I didn't search very hard - I'm sure there's more...)

1967-1968 Chevrolet Impala Rear Quarter, Rear Section - Right Side | Mill Supply, Inc.
There's also a few good 'junk yard' businesses out there specializing in selling bits and pieces. Desert Valley Auto Parts is one and they might have both items you need. Desert Valley Auto Parts
Lastly, I'm aware of an Impala club. That'd be a great way to get your request in front of a large, relevant group as well. You can find them on Facebook as well if you are on there.
The member above '65_-_67_impala' was working on a 67 just 2 years ago and facing a similar rust fixing issue. I saw some threads on it here at this forum.

was? hll, I still am! I've had this car since May of 1992, it's been apart since 1999 and still sitting in my driveway. I can sell it (maybe) and let it be someone elses project, or I can hang on to it, retire in another 14 yrs when I finally have time, money, and space to spare and then restore it.Welcome to the site Portert471.

since I can't guarantee how much money from a sale or if the buyer would restore it (which I think it deserves), I'm holding on
Funny story - I happened to see that some huge Impala Nationals event was happening in MY TOWN last year and I couldn't find out where. No details on that!
I saw a member post up a picture or 2 of some of the cars so I tried to decode the location from the background and ended up driving to like 4-5 different local parks and I never found them!
Grrrr!Turns out they were in town for many days and visiting local landmarks too. Can't believe I wasn't able to hook up with them in my own backyard.
