Up for Auction 1965 Chevy Impala Sport Coupe. No Reserve. $1000 Payment at end of auction, buyer must set up transport/shipping. Body appears to be 98% rust free. I found just a couple surface spots smaller than eraser head of pencil. Floor/trunk pans look solid. Body has minor left damage around driver rear tire well where trim goes (missing). Left top fender has small dent (see pic). Rest of body looks straight except for a couple minor dings. Original paint color is White (cc) Some trim looks new. Interior is 95% complete. No radio and a couple small items like a quarter window handle and ash tray. Headliner is new and most of interior is in decent shape except front seat and carpet. Back seat is torn/taped near top. Doors shut and open firmly. Undercarriage looks very good with relatively new dual exhaust pipes and mufflers. Rocker panels look good with new trim. All glass is very good. Engine is not original 327. I looked up serial #s and it is a 1985 305 which is supposed to be near new. The engine block paint and excellent running condition leads me to believe this is true. This engine sounds strong and purrs.. Vehicle was pawned for several thousand and not paid. Our program Jobs4Homeless acquired vehicle for purpose of auction for expansion. (We have a one of a kind program that employs the homeless via recycling centers) Buyer will receive a notarized bill of sale. No Title. We could find no registration history. We drove it from place of purchase (30 mi) and it drove very straight down the road. When we got back I was wiping rims and valve stem broke off so tomorrow morning we have back tires going on. Front tires are real good. Rare codes on cowl plate it's getting late so will update again tomorrow. Good luck in your bidding and remember this goes to an incredible charity so it won't hurt our feelings if we get a few to fight for this gem!On Mar-27-16 at 21:08:58 PDT, seller added the following information: Cowl plate info. Built in St Louis 3rd week of January 1965 Original Paint (cc) Ermine White / Interior 811 Black / Trim (E2KR) E=Tint / 2K=Factory Air / R= Rear Speakers The paint job is probably 10 years old. A few light scratches, not fading too bad.The lights and turn signal lights (outside & dash) work but everything else seems disconnected. I doubt mileage reading is accurate. Engine serial #14088551 other engine block markings GM5.

It was a great decision because this was one of the great rides of my life. No radio, windows open and this 65 Impala literally floated like a dream. Never got on it too hard but took it into the 80's and could steer with my pinky. No shake at all in the steering wheel and it took to the climbs, twists and turns like nothing I expected with a car this old. (mechanic did say it could use some front end bushings) The engine ran super strong and never missed a beat. Brakes work perfect. Needs emergency brake line. Front upper door panels in good shape/bottom half with carpet can use tlc. Door panel hand rests need redone. Back side panels look near perfect. Window mechanisms work well. Inside chrome trim looks very good. Only 1 key with vehicle but it is definitely original key. I will post at least one further update before Sunday On Apr-02-16 at 17:15:18 PDT, seller added the following information: A Video of Impala accelerating can be seen by searching FaceBook for Jobs4Homeless Org. If you cannot find it message me.We believe engine is not stock and tranny has shift kit. Factory Air car with no compressor. I also noticed the window seals/rubber are good. Please feel free to make an extra bid or two because our charity is one of a kind. We give a hand up with a job and paycheck and not hand outs. Thanks and good luck!
