while parts may be available, this board does not see a lot of traffic. you may see the part available tomorrow or in 3 yrs.

you're centrally located in the east region so should be able to find something. have you tried searching Craigslist?

Front or Rear Bumper?

I don't have much left for a '67 but let me know what you are looking for.

PM if you would like.

It'll be the rear bumper Bill, The U.S. Caprice has the reverse lights in the end pieces, in Australia all the Impala's built here have Caprice rear bumpers, which I believe was because our laws don't allow for a red flashing light as a turn signal, instead they fitted amber globes in the white section of the tail-light for the indicators, which is used as reverse lights in the U.S.

you sure you have that right, Jynx? my '67 Impala rear bumper has no lights, while my front has amber marker lights

Yeah pretty sure, this is an Aussie Impala rhd, with caprice rear bumper. Also
It can really only be the rear he wants since all models use the same front bumper.

Aussie Impala's also had amber front indicator lenses, which I dislike because they overpower the whole look of the front of the car & draw your eyes to them, so instead I fitted clear front lenses with amber globes, which to me is a much nicer look.

man, I had to go back and read thru that at least 3 times while going back and comparing all the pictures. I've never seen a '67 Caprice until now. learn something new every day. I thought you were thinking of a '68 Impala with the lights in the rear bumper

Funny you say that it's a bit like that all the time for me, makes it a bit harder when you didn't grow up with them. Even though Impala's came to Australia before me, I got here in 1970 I cannot honestly remember ever seeing any of them on the road in Perth, so I kind of suspect they were all on the east coast of Oz initially & the ones that are west coast now have kind of filtered over here over the years, apart from the lhd's that are here which are imports obviously.

All the Aussie Impala's came though Canada so maybe this is a Canadian car too

I have a few Caprices, but never a '67. Came close to getting a Caprice parts car once, but it was a little too rough for the money. Now that I think about it, I do remember the back-up lights. Pretty cool really.

 

[Jynx]

He doesn't want Caprice tho Bill, that's what he's got now, he wants the Impala ends. I like em too btw.

 

[62BillT]

I realize that but thanks anyway. I was just shooting the breeze, lol.

For a little more of it, I have a '66 Caprice with about 18 options on it. The more I checked the car over, the more I was finding them.

Not sure what all you are looking for. I do have a pair of ends but they will need re chromed. The problem is international shipping post COVID. A guy in Australia tried to buy a front grill off me and shipping was around $150!!! We had a heart attack. There is also another good 67 source for parts, Donny Bock. He also has really nice stuff and I just spoke with him and he just acquired another large group of 67 parts...one of them being a complete rear bumper assembly with NOS bumper guards with mounting brackets...fully restored, assembly line perfect. But I guarantee that piece will be trading in the $2k plus range.

who is donny bock?

 

[jdjcorvette]

He is out of New Jersey. He is one of the head electrical engineers at American Autowire. He primarily buys/sells 65-70 full size Chevy parts(66-69). He scours the US/Canada for large collections and acquires them. He is not cheap, however, he is reasonable. Again, I am afraid shipping is going to be ridiculous if he has anything you need. Contact him, he is a really good guy and a wealth of knowledge: (856) 261-2170

 

[jdjcorvette]

Oh, wait a second...that was 65 and 67 that asked me not our friend in Australia. You have been here years 65 and 67...how do you not know Donny??? He is a staple in the full size Chevy family. Aside from his enormous NOS collection of parts, his personal car is a 68 Impala SS 427. It is a survivor car with approximately 17,000 original miles on it. VERY humble and down to earth guy too.

I've only really been active the last 3 yrs, got distracted and sidelined the first 5-1/2 yrs immediately after I joined

International shipping costs actually turned to crap well before Covid, somewhere around 2013/2014 iirc. It has become worse as time has passed too.
