The Impala was already the best-selling model in the United States in 1965, but the debut of the new generation witnessed a major milestone that no other car achieved until that year.
The new Impala sold so well that it became the first car in the local market to ship over 1 million units in one year. The one to thank for this impressive achievement was a fantastic mix of styling, engines, and comfort.
The Impala in these photos confirms that a 1965 convertible was a fantastic car. However, as you'll discover in a minute, this Impala leaves many questions without an answer, and while it's a very intriguing full-size Chevrolet, I wouldn't be surprised to see many people walking away because of the lack of information.
The first thing you'll probably observe is the incredible shape. The Impala looks nearly spotless, and you won't find any metal problems on the body. The undercarriage is likely clean, but if you're interested in a purchase, you should inspect the car in person and put it on a lift.
eBay seller gr8dayca doesn't mention a previous restoration, but I'm certain this Impala has already been the subject of a meticulous overhaul. The red paint is almost flawless (I believe it's Regal Red, but correct me if I'm wrong in the comment box after the jump) and fits the black interior and the black top like a glove.
I won't insist much on its condition because it's obvious this Impala looks fantastic, so let's move to the engine. The unit under the hood is a 283 that "runs and drives strong," albeit it's unclear if it's the original unit and whether it has already been rebuilt. The 283 was the base V8 on the 1965 Impala, offering a decent mix of performance and economy.
The odometer is the next big intriguing tidbit. The Impala has only 38K miles on the clock, but it's unclear if it's the original mileage.
Overall, it's hard to find something to hate about this 1965 Impala convertible, as the car is in tip-top shape, comes with low miles, and is already prepared for the road. However, any potential buyer should order a third-party inspection because the car deserves more answers.
The selling price suggests this is no longer an all-original Impala, as the car would have otherwise been significantly more expensive. The owner wants $33,500 for this convertible, but they also enabled the Make Offer button should someone be interested in the car but have another deal in mind. The vehicle is parked in Glendale, California, and considering the listing expires in seven days, you still have enough time to contact the seller and discuss all the details.
