Vehicle Description
It's hard to go wrong with a mid-60s GM convertible. This Impala
was built and delivered as an SS 327 in 1965 and stays true to
those roots today. Its top down fun at its best. Big enough to pile
in friends and family to head into town on a nice summer night, or
head out on a cross country adventure with.
As you approach this car from the side, you can't help but notice
the long sleek lines of this full-sized convertible. Coated in
Evening Orchid paint, the impression is especially dramatic when
the top is down. There is very little chrome disturbing the look. A
single, straight body line runs from front to rear, interrupted
only by one big door, which reinforces the effect. Behind the door,
the body bulges up a bit adding a nice shape to those long rear
fenders. The front leads with some nice chrome with the bumper,
eggcrate grill, and trim around the four headlights. 327 and Super
Sport badging adorns the front fenders. Fender wells are nicely
sculpted and present a super clean look without hanging unnecessary
wheel well molding on it. The rear is also neat and clean with a
black and chrome bar running the full width that contains Chevrolet
and Impala SS script. Above that bar is the one year only, triple
round taillights that look so good, and below it, another nice
chrome bumper.
Jump in this car and you will find a spacious, comfortable
interior. The door panel has a big, comfortable arm rest with the
easiest door handle to use that you will ever experience. It looks
good too with a pleated upper panel split by a sharp looking SS
emblem. Contoured bucket seats mimic the pleating, are trimmed in
chrome, and are a comfortable place to do some cruising in. The
back seats are sweet too, so go ahead, load up some friends and
have some fun! The trunk is huge, so you can toss anything you
might need for a trip in there without having to worry about
packing it carefully. A two spoke Impala wheel sits in front of an
expansive dash with wide speedometer in the center, critical engine
gauges in a pod to the left, and uniquely, a vacuum gauge in a pod
on the right. The center console has a nice big rally style clock
just in front of the T-handle shifter for the 2 speed Powerglide
automatic transmission.
It's nice to have the power of a 327 under the hood when it's time
to scoot on down the road. It's not only a strong engine and gets
this big ragtop rolling with power to power to spare, but it's also
a tried and true Chevy V8, so it gets the job done reliably too. It
sits in a neat and clean engine bay and is completely stock except
for the addition of an Edelbrock carburetor. Signs of good
maintenance are evident with new tune-up items like plugs, cap and
wires, as well as newer belts and hoses. The automatic trans sends
the power back to a solid axle on coil springs that provide a nice
comfortable ride. Up front, control arms and coil springs along
with power steering and brakes make this luxury cruise easy to
maneuver in parking lots or on the open road. 215/70R14 tires are
mounted on steel wheels with Spinner wheel covers, and really
complete the look of the car nicely.
