Everybody agrees 2020 was one of the worst years this planet has ever seen, and unfortunately, the whole thing isn’t over as we’re still struggling to deal with this global health issue that keeps us away from each other.
And if you need another reason to hate the madness that started last year, here’s this 1965 Chevy Impala SS now listed for sale by eBay user sheidal.

The owner of the car says he’s been working together with their dad on this Impala, and after losing him to the invisible enemy we told you about, he decided to give the chance of owning this icon to someone else.

While not a lot of specifics on the Impala have been provided, we’re told the car “is an original” and driveable, coming with a matching-numbers 396 engine mated to an automatic transmission.

By the looks of things, the engine has been rebuilt by a professional shop, so there’s a chance the car as a whole has already been restored. That more or less explains how it ended up shining bright like a diamond, as we can all see in the photos here.

But as we said, only very limited information on the Impala has been provided. While everybody loves a 1965 model given it was the first car to ever sell 1 million units in a single year in the United States, we still need more details to be able to determine if the price is right or not.

No info has been shared on the mileage either, as the 100,000 miles (160,934 kilometers) figure published on eBay is most likely just a generic number used as a placeholder and not the actual figure indicated by the odometer.

The car is listed on eBay with a $19,000 starting price for the auction, while the Buy It Now option is $25,000. If you want to check it out in person, it’s parked in Spokane, Washington.
