With a great coordinating color comboand#44; droptop funand#44; and A/C comfortand#44; this 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible is the perfect vintage cruiser. So when you see the upgrades to the V8 and the drivertrainand#44; you realize youre going to need to act quickly to grab the ultimate vintage cruiser. While a full-size vintage convertible is always a great ideaand#44; this one seems to do it better then the rest. The 65 Impalas were redesigned to make them longerand#44; lowerand#44; and sleekerand#44; and the crisp lines with a kick up behind the rear door makes this downright sporty. Bright chrome was still the American way in 65and#44; and so it looks great with the mirror-like front bumper and grilleand#44; as well as the well-integrated rear bumper that frames the iconic triple taillight package. Of course you can see all these details so well because of the excellent quality of the sheetmetal. That also means a classic with a hood and trunk that line up nicelyand#44; and doors that you can shut the doors with confidence. But what really is going to make you fall in love is the paint. The Sea Mist Green seems to capture the era perfectly while offering a higher degree of gloss and shine from the modern application. Plusand#44; when you add in the Coys torque thrust style wheels (staggered 18/20-inches for an aggressive stance) and the crisp folding topand#44; those black elements give this Impala SS all the appeal of mint chocolate. When you take down the power folding roofand#44; the same attraction remainsand#44; because the whole interior has a crisp black appearance. In factand#44; have you spotted the green painted dash? So this convertible has an exceptionally well-coordinated package that tells people its a thoughtful and premium classic. And more than just appearanceand#44; theres plenty of comfortand#44; too. A Super Sport of this era means bucket seats and a center console. So while theres plenty of room in the back for family and friendsand#44; youll always be riding in individual comfort. In factand#44; the driver gets the best treats as you slip behind the factory wheel with Impala center cap and gaze over the speedometer thats as wide as the horizon. And to make sure you stay cool all year long while cruising with the top downand#44; theres modern R134a air conditioning. Under the hood is a correct Chevy V8 block from 1965and#44; but you can see that there has been some nice work to it. Theres a show-worthy shine coming from elements like the Chevrolet valve covers and the air cleaner that announces this is a 327 small block. And theres also added performance substance with upgrades such as the Edelbrock intake and Holley four-barrel carburetor. The tidy presentation and how easily this Impala fires up leads us to believe there has been good maintenance. Plusand#44; the sound from the dual exhaust gives the undertones of power without being overbearing. All of this makes you want to take this Impala out for a cruise. Thats why it also comes with the best features like power steeringand#44; four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. This is the Impala that knows how to both drive and arrive. So if you want a classic thats easy to runand#44; maximizes funand#44; and has a stellar appearanceand#44; this one is waiting for you. But it wont linger for too longand#44; so call today! |
