Vehicle Description
Offering tons of vintage appeal with just a touch of customization
thrown in, this 1965 Chrysler Windsor has logged an unusually low
number of miles during its substantial lifetime and features an
exterior and interior that are both so clean it seems as if this
MoPar classic has spent the majority of the past half-century plus
safely encased like a museum piece. It offers an impressively solid
driving experience as well while being propelled by a
period-correct V8 under its lengthy hood. Rolling off the assembly
line at a time when Chrysler had moved its model's construction up
north, this rare classic comes to us via Canada.
This is one generously proportioned cruiser - it's long through
both hood and deck lid with a spacious cabin lying between them -
and yet its sleek form gives it a definite muscle car vibe. Its
exterior is now dressed in high impact black - a shade that's often
a mixed bag because of its tendency to magnify any flaws that might
exist-here that presents no problem, as there really are none of
any consequence to be found. A comprehensive detailing would
elevate things, but the paint retains plenty of shine in its
present state. A pair of aftermarket amber headlights bracket a
clean front grille and as you take a lap around you'll notice that
the array of chrome on display here is in consistently good shape -
the side trim spans the entire length of the body and it appears
nice and level as it transitions from front fender to door to rear
quarter panel. Clear glass surrounds the cabin, with a tinted rear
windshield to provide a nice aftermarket touch.
Inside, the front and rear bench seats, as well as the door panels
and headliner have been refurbished, with all the work involved
skillfully performed. This interior retains a thoroughly vintage
appearance and the fresh seating features well-fitted red vinyl
covers with cloth accents and sits over an expanse of matching
carpeting in showroom condition. Owing to the Windsor's substantial
proportions, there's a lot of real estate separating the two rows
of seating, so your backseat passengers will have plenty of room to
stretch out. The overall condition of this driving environment is
top notch - it would stand out even among the most well-restored of
classics. The interior chrome really looks great, as does the door
hardware and just beyond the factory steering wheel, the dash area
sports clear, readable displays inside its fan-shaped instrument
panel. Such is the level of functionality here that even the
original AM radio and analog clock both work as intended - that's
not something you see very often in a car of this age. In back, the
trunk borders on cavernous - you'll have no shortage of luggage
space to work with.
Sitting between the inner fenders in a nicely detailed engine
compartment is a period-correct 361 cubic inch V8. Clad in sharp
red paint, it wears a 4-barrel carb on top and is running strong,
pairing with a 3-speed automatic transmission that's shifting
smoothly - the vintage driving experience offered on this Chrysler
is really impressive. Power steering makes this sizable vehicle
easy to navigate, while its power brakes are in good form to bring
it to low-effort stops. The added Flowmaster exhaust sings out a
great exhaust note as this seldom seen MoPar classic cruises on its
set of 20" custom chrome wheels wrapped with low profile tires.
With its unusually clean appearance and rock-solid driving
condition pairing with bona fide rarity, this 1965 Chrysler Windsor
presents an unusual opportunity. Call today!
