Cars rotting away in junkyards typically produce an intense feeling of sadness or pity, especially if the rusted metal comes from classics that could end up being worth thousands of dollars if restored.
And this is exactly the case of this duo that someone has on their property but which fortunately is ready to go for a pretty decent price.

There are two vehicles ready for a second chance, both of them 1965 Chevrolets.

The first one is a ’65 Impala SS that was born with a 327 engine and an automatic transmission under the hood. While we’re not being provided with any specifics about the engine, don’t expect to find any good news under the hood, especially considering the overall condition of the car.

It’s pretty clear both these Chevys don’t come in their best shape, and the Impala has plenty of rust too, with the Craigslist seller explaining that while the floor has already been cut out, there’s a new replacement floor going with the car.

Obviously, restoring it isn’t necessarily an easy project, but it’s an SS, and if the engine is still around and original, it could be worth quite a lot if restored properly.

The Bel Air, on the other hand, comes in much better shape, and the seller too says they “drove the car from Simi Valley several years ago.” The 327 under the hood is paired with a manual transmission, but once again, no specifics have been shared on their condition.

But given the Bel Air has been driven recently, there is a chance it’d be easier to restore, though it’s important to know the owner has listed this Chevy as a “parts car.

The duo is ready to go for $13,900, and if you want to check them out in person, both are parked in Santa Clarita, California, hopefully not for eternity.
