1965 marked the beginning of the fourth-generation Chevrolet Impala. At the same time, it marked a new record for the series, as Chevrolet managed to sell more than 1 million units for the first time in the United States.
This means the 1965 Impala wasn’t only a successful model but also one that Americans really loved, and when looking at the example we have here, it’s pretty clear why.
While it’s not necessarily in its best shape, this Impala is a project car that still flexes the beauty of the 1965 model boosted by styling improvements like frameless side glass, reshaped vent windows, and new wheel well moldings on the Sport Coupes.
Listed as an all-original Impala, this car obviously has seen better days, and the amount of rust you can also see in the photo is something the buyer should really look into first thing after getting it.
The bad news is some parts need to be replaced completely, including the frame, the front floor panes for the driver and passenger side, as well as the driver-side fenders.
The good news, on the other hand, is the original 283-ci (4.6-liter) V8 engine is still there, though we’re being told it doesn’t run. No other specifics have been shared on the engine, however, but we do know it’s paired with an automatic transmission.
This Impala doesn’t come with really low mileage, but it’s not something to avoid either, as the odometer currently indicates a little over 41,000 miles (65,983 km).
So just how much is this Impala actually worth? Given it’s not an SS and there’s plenty of rust you’d have to deal with, the car obviously should go at a rather low price. And judging from the bids submitted on eBay since the auction went live, there’s a chance this will indeed happen. The highest bid at the time of writing is $1,125.
