Featured on AutoHunter, the online vendition platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 1965 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe.
In the collector car hobby one segment that has unfurled to grow, regardless of what the rest of the collector car hobby is doing, are muscle cars. There are a lot of reasons for this: they are icons, have a unconfined mythology, are fun to drive, and if you buy a good example they are some of the easiest archetype cars to own and maintain.
The 1965 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe we are highlighting here is described by the owner as powered by a 454cid V8 that is backed by a TH350 three-speed will-less transmission. The car features power steering, electronic ignition, and upgraded power four-wheel disc brakes. Additional performance upgrades include an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, a chrome open-element air cleaner, an HEI distributor, tube headers, a chrome power restriction booster, and a chrome dual-circuit master cylinder. The car rides on a set of silver 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels is wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. This Impala sounds like it has a perfect performance package for events such as the Hot Rod Power Tour.

The exterior has been refinished in the original verisimilitude of Evening Orchid (code P) and features a woebegone vinyl top. It has stock chrome bumpers, Super Sport emblems, chrome wheel opening moldings, and a rear-mounted antenna. The selling dealer discloses that some minor frothing are present near the left taillight. The styling of the mid 1960s Impala is stunning and in many ways I have unchangingly thought that these were possibly the most elegant GM offering of the time.
How much did a 1965 Chevy Impala cost new?
The 1965 Chevrolet Impala was accessible as a 4-entryway vehicle, 2-and 4-entryway hardtop, station cart (with seating for one or the other 6 or 9 travelers), and as a convertible. Costs went from $2,670 - $3,070.
The interior was refurbished under previous ownership, and this Impala comes with woebegone vinyl front skillet seats and a matching rear seat surrounded by woebegone vinyl door panels and trim. It has transmission windows, power steering, a part-way console-mounted will-less transmission shifter, and an AM radio.
The car has a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, amps, and manifold vacuum which are located superiority of the driver. The odometer reads 55,511 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
Now here’s the deal, this is a nice, wipe muscle car from the archetype era with a major engine upgrade and many nice performance upgrades. The verisimilitude of the car is both superstitious looking as well as unusual, and I am sure that when this car was built it forfeit much increasingly than its retail value, as ownership a wipe 1965 Impala and then making these upgrades, including the paint and interior, it would forfeit increasingly than the car is worth.
