ok... what's the etiquette? dont wanna hi-jack the thread. ask the thread starter if OK?
another sharp eye. yup, sport coupe with "convex" rear window.
i believe you're right.
i have met matt personally... he doesnt seem like the type to digitally "pimp-slap" me over the hi-jack without fair warning;)

During hard times I sold a 73 Newport 87,000 mile car, brought back from the dead. They informed me of the changes, including 17 inch wheels in place of the nice road wheels I had installed. Didn't think much of it, as wheels are an easy swap, and I knew where the car was. Well, it was sold 3 more times despite my attempts to re-purchase and put it back where I thought it looked right. Its for sale again w 24s on it and an 8500 price tag, it sits outside year round and no one will pay for the car. The rust is taking hold, an aftermarket stereo w subs and video screen in a now destroyed dash. All make me sick to my stomach, but what can you do? A current toy on the block

I have said here a couple of times that my Chevy favorites are the Impala of 68 /67 and the 72 would be next on my list. Not a lot of those 402's built. Nice, nice car

Nice car! 
I don't want to knit pick but, the 400 and 402 weren't the same engine. The 400 was a member of the small block 283,327,350 family of engines. The 402 was a big block, part of the 396,427,454 family of engines.

We know, but that was the emblem Chevy put on there for both the 400 and the 402, you really didnt know what you were up against when you saw 400

A buddy of mine had a '73-ish Monte Carlo that had the 402 but, he used to tell everybody that it had a 454 under the hood. Another buddy had a '70 Duster with a 318, console, floor shifted automatic and the car ran quite strong for a 318. He always did the same though, told everybody the car had a 340. I could never figure their thinking on that.

its cool. no nitpicking was perceived..it was a "rat".
that was my understanding as well. but i never had another car like it from this era (except police cars) to compare to. only other big block "civi" chevies i owned were 454's and up (crate engines).

As for the '67 Newport, I really don't mind the look of it that much, mainly because he didn't lift it two or three feet off the ground like some guys do. I do think those wheels are too big for it, 18" or maybe even 20" might look okay.

Not being a Chevy guy I dont know... I suppose there were other tell tale signs, VIN or a dual exhaust perhaps. I dont recall seeing a 402 emblem on an Impala..... I believe they put the engine in Novas, Chevelles, Monte Carlos and Trucks...
