This 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible is powered by a replacement 327ci V8 mated to a two-speed Powerglide transmission and is finished in Crocus Yellow over black vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes a power-operated black soft top, power steering, power-assisted brakes, power windows, and a push-button radio. The car is said to have been registered in Washington state from new and was acquired by the selling dealer in 2023. This Impala convertible is now offered with a clean Washington title.
The car is finished in Crocus Yellow and the selling dealer states that the paint was touched up under previous ownership. Exterior features include a power-operated black convertible top, chrome bumpers, a rear antenna, and “Super Sport” badging.
Steel wheels wear SS covers and are mounted with thin whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power steering and power-assisted brakes.
The low-back front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in black vinyl upholstery that extends to the door panels. Interior details include aluminum trim, a padded dashboard, a center console, power windows, front lap belts, and a push-button radio with an additional rear speaker.
The two-spoke comfort-tilt steering wheel frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 42k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 327ci Turbo-Fire V8 is said to have been replaced under previous ownership and is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.
