INTRODUCTION: This is a very impressive car! It received a body off frame restoration and has the complete package: an incredible stance and killer looks, adjustable air ride suspension, a beautifully executed custom interior, a crate motor and air conditioning. It has the style to stand out at any show or cruise night!
EXTERIOR: This exceptionally clean and straight '65 body is finished in a rich pewter metallic that has been polished to a beautiful gloss. It's a quality paint job too- the metallic is laid out evenly and the finish presents beautifully. With no vinyl top, it has an especially clean, sleek appearance. The chrome and trim are exceptional; the chrome was replaced and the stainless trim was polished. Even more impressive, all of the glass has been replaced, along with the weatherstrips. It also features dual Bowtie mirrors, dual rear antennas and Holley high intensity high beam headlights. Out back are the very desirable round 1965 taillights, one of the signature features that makes this year Impala so sought after. The adjustable air ride suspension gives it just the right stance over 20-inch chrome Ridler wheels wrapped in performance tires. The colors, stance, wheels and exceptional brightwork all come together beautifully on this car.
INTERIOR: It is completely custom and absolutely stunning in red. The seats and door panels are upholstered in premium material with a diamond pattern and contrasting red stitching. The seat cushions are nice and firm, giving them that fresh, supportive feel. Billet handles add just the right amount of custom detail, and the doors are equipped with power windows. Above, the Alcantara headliner and visors are beautifully fitted and features a red LED dome light, while the dash has been custom upholstered to match. A full set of custom gauges includes a tachometer, and the retro style stereo is Bluetooth compatible, playing through kick panel speakers up front and 6x9 speakers in the rear. Vintage Air climate control uses modern electric slide controls, and an electronic controller operates the adjustable air-ride suspension. A polished tilt steering column is topped with a custom steering wheel that complements the Ridler wheels perfectly. It also has front and rear seat belts. Beneath all the beautiful cosmetics, the car was done right with sound deadener, replaced wiring and a modern blade-style fuse panel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: At the heart of it is a strong running crate 383 stroker producing approximately 400 horsepower. It's topped with an aluminum intake, dual-feed Holley carburetor and billet HEI distributor, while a set of headers lets it breathe. A matched set of finned valve covers, plug wire holders and air cleaner give the motor a coordinated, high end appearance. The blacked out Front Runner serpentine accessory drive system keeps everything clean and organized up front. Modern conveniences include a mini A/C compressor and power steering with braided stainless hoses and a remote reservoir. It also features a polished BAP one-wire alternator, aluminum water pump, polished Champion aluminum radiator with an electric fan and an overflow bottle. Because of the hotter cam, a vacuum reservoir assists the power brakes for consistent braking performance. The engine bay itself is just as impressive as the hardware. It's painted and highly detailed with a custom smooth firewall, billet hood hinges and a polished master cylinder. A Newport Engineering wiper motor and battery disconnect are additional quality upgrades. The wiring and plumbing are neatly routed, giving the entire compartment a clean, finished appearance.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and throughout the jamb are nicely painted in the same beautiful pewter metallic as the body. Inside is a clean, well designed custom enclosure that gives the trunk a finished appearance while concealing the air-ride equipment. The floor is carpeted for a finished look.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame during the restoration, and underneath shows the extent of the work. The frame was completely prepped, smoothed and finished in gray. It features an all new air ride system front and rear, while the steering and suspension were rebuilt. Upgraded rear control arms were installed along with replaced shocks and bushings. The brake system was seriously upgraded with drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four wheels, along with replaced lines and hoses. The fuel system was also replaced, including a shiny new tank, and is fully compatible with the fuel-injected engine. A beautifully installed polished stainless steel exhaust system runs front to back with Flowmaster mufflers. Looking up at the motor, everything is clean and it features a high-torque starter. The upgraded 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission has a remote finned aluminum oil cooler. A rebuilt driveshaft connects to the 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 posi gears , which is dressed with a chrome cover. The floors are all rock solid and neatly protected with a chip guard finish. Overall, the underside is clean, extensively restored and loaded with upgrades.

CONCLUSION: I'm always looking for a '65 Impala, and frankly, I don't see that many- certainly like this one! The colors, wheels and air ride give it that awesome stance an Impala needs. This one's got it going on! If you miss it, I don't know when I'll have another.
