Introduced in 1966, the L-72 427-cu.in. V-8 engine was rated at 425hp, a number that exists somewhere between seriously underrated and ludicrous. The first high-performance Mark IV engines, issued in 1965, were 396-cu.in., yet were rated at the same 425hp.

An 'ordinary' SS 427 is special. The SS 427 was only offered from 1967 through 1969 and remains respected. This example crossed the block at Mecum's.
