Vehicle Description
1965 Chevrolet Impala SS Hardtop
Description
It was a dramatic change in 1965 for the entire Chevrolet lineup.
The previous boxier body style was abandoned for the sleeker
fastback look to move forward into the next, more hip, generation
of the American automobile. The long lines gave it a lower leaner
look while still keeping enough room inside for the passengers. The
SS trim was still the "performance" version with the higher horse
power V8s, stiffer suspension, bigger brakes, and upsacle
interiors. This individual is an true 166 code SS that spent most
of it's life in Texas and was nicely equipped with the SS package,
a 4 speed, power steering, and rare air conditioning. Finished in
Regal Red with black bucket seat interior with console it looks
fabulous. Enhancing the visual horse power are the polished
American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with 16 inch Yokohoma radials.
This one has had the benefit of the ac being upgraded with new
Vintage heat and air and front power disc brakes that are drilled
and ventilated. The paint is very nice and the chrome and stainless
are nearly new, there are some minor scratches on the rear bumper.
The non-original 350 V8 starts easily and runs out smooth along
with a Muncie M20 4 speed and 3.08 open rear end it goes down the
road with little effort and will give the next lucky owner years of
cruising pleasure.
