For Sale: 1965 Chevrolet Impala in Columbus, Ohio

$24,995

Cruisin Classics is pleased to present this big-block 65 Chevrolet Impala! If you're looking for a true muscle car sleeper, it doesn't get much cooler than this. Everyone expects a big block to be hiding under the hood of an SS, but this car was ordered from the factory without the SS package, making it a genuine wolf in sheep's clothing. The VIN prefix "164" confirms this is a factory V8 Impala, and it was born with a 396ci Big Block, bench seat, and column shift-exactly the kind of car that surprised a lot of people back in 1965. Today it's powered by a strong-running 454ci Chevrolet V8 backed by a dependable TH400 automatic transmission, but don't worry-the original numbers-matching 396 engine comes with the car. Dressed in a nice driver-quality repaint of its original Tahitian Turquoise Poly (Paint Code L), this Impala has the right look sitting on a set of 15-inch Rally wheels with polished trim rings. The chrome, stainless trim, and glass are all in very nice condition, and with just 57,721 actual miles showing on the title, this is a well-preserved example that's only gotten better with age. Inside, this Impala has a clean, honest look that fits the car perfectly. The factory bench seat and column shift remind you this wasn't built to show off-it was built to surprise people. The seats, door panels, carpet, and headliner are all in very good condition, while the dash shows a little age but still presents nicely. It appears the weatherstripping and window seals were replaced when the car was repainted, and all of the windows roll up and down smoothly. Sitting in the driver's seat, you're greeted by a beautiful wood-grain steering wheel with a vintage Sun Super Tach II mounted to the column, giving the interior just the right muscle car vibe. The tach works as it should, along with the factory gauges and interior lights. The heater blows strong, the factory radio is operational, and everything about the interior feels like a car that has been cared for instead of pieced back together. Pop the hood and you'll find a healthy 454ci Big Block that's ready to cruise or roast the tires whenever you feel like it. It's equipped with Headman shorty headers, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, a Holley Street Avenger carburetor, and Chevrolet black valve covers for a clean, period-inspired appearance. Power steering makes it easy to drive, while power front disc brakes provide confident stopping power with rear drums doing their job out back. Best of all, this Impala comes with its original Protect-O-Plate along with the original numbers-matching 396 engine, making it a fantastic opportunity for the next owner whether you choose to enjoy the extra power of the 454 or return it to its factory-correct configuration. Factory big block, non-SS Impalas don't come around very often, and this one checks all the right boxes. If you've been searching for a documented, real-deal sleeper that stands out from the sea of SS clones, this '65 is one you'll definitely want in your garage.
