Details

This 1965 Impala was purchased new from Earl Hayes Chevrolet in Dallas, TX, by the first owner, and was inherited in the mid-90s by the second owner, with whom it stayed until December 2014. Extensive work done by the third and current owner. It’s powered by a 327ci 8-cylinder engine mated to a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, and comes equipped with power steering. The car retains its original trim, engine, glass, wheels and hubcaps; even the taillights are original to the car. It also retains the stickers from the original two owners and the original Earl Hayes dealer emblem. The second owner had some interior upholstery work done, including new carpet and new headliner. It has been repainted twice; once in 1998 and once in 2011. The door jams and engine bay retain their original paint. The air-conditioning system was converted to R134 and it retains the original compressor. The belt is currently not installed, so it is not functional. The third and current owner had the engine pulled and fully rebuilt. While this engine was originally 250hp, internals that were spec’d for the 300hp version were used. It’s equipped with a 268/268 cam and a new dual exhaust was installed. As much of the original hardware as possible was retained, including the block, heads, valve covers, brackets, carburetor, air cleaner, cooling fan and fan shroud. An aluminum radiator replaced the original, and was painted Flat Black to match. It features its original power steering pump with new hoses, new shocks, idler arm, pitman arm and tie rod ends. It also has new brake hardware all around, including master cylinder, brake lines and hardware, new drums and new shoes. This Impala has been garage-kept and well cared for its entire life.
