This 1965 Chevrolet Impala sport coupe was refinished in black, reupholstered in red and black leather, and fitted with a 427ci V8, a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, and a Moser rear axle under previous ownership. Additional equipment includes a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, Mickey Thompson valve covers, wrapped exhaust headers, Borla dual exhaust, 17″ Cragar S/S wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, air conditioning, and an aftermarket stereo. This Impala was acquired by the selling dealer in 2022 and is now offered with service records, spare parts, and a clean New Jersey title.
The car was factory-finished in Artesian Turquoise (K) and refinished in black under previous ownership. Equipment includes bright trim, quad headlights, and chrome-finished bumpers.
The 17″ Cragar S/S wheels are mounted with Goodyear Eagle Sport tires showing 2014 date codes. Four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering are fitted along with a revised front suspension. The brake booster needs to be replaced.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are reupholstered in black and red leather. Interior appointments include a console, an aftermarket stereo, and Vintage Air air conditioning. The trunk floor has been replaced.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to a tilt column and fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. Aftermarket oil pressure and water temperature gauges are mounted underneath the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 82k miles, approximately 30 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 402ci V8 is said to have been sourced from a 1970 Chevrolet and enlarged to displace 427ci. Equipment includes an Edelbrock Pro-Flo air cleaner, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, Mickey Thompson valve covers, wrapped exhaust headers, Borla dual exhaust, MSD ignition, and dual electric fans. The fuel tank and wiring harness have been replaced.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission and a 9″ Moser rear axle said to be fitted with 3.70:1 gears.
