One Owner '65 Impala, #s 396/4-sp, Rough but Complete
Sad to see this one deteriorate, but the body still looks fairly solid, and the original engine is there. I think you'd be instantly underwater on any restoration, but if you're looking to get into an original 396/4-speed car cheap, this may be a good opportunity.

That paint is so faded, I was wondering if it was Iris Mist, until I read the ad.
Actually looks better than the '65 Chevelle. I'd like to see clear pics of the cylinders and maybe know why it was disassembled. I helped "restore" a '65 at work a few years ago. Quite a few 1 year only parts on this year Impala and rather hard to find. Bill Pritchard....the shifter looks just like the one in the Chevelle...

I remember...
Riding in the back seat of my cousin Ray's Impala as a kid while going on a camping trip with his trailer in tow. He was always showing off to me how powerful his car was. We were going up a long hill climb and he pulled out and blew right past the other cars in the slow lane. Back in the late 80's after he passed away, I picked up the car in SF to bring it home and detail it so the family could sell it. I just wish I could have afforded to buy it back then, great memories!

Yup, relisted in the link below. Personally, I didn't think the $6870 was far from fair value.

My thought exactly...maybe $7,500. More detailed info about the included trans and the condition of the original block would help the price. A junk, original block, is meaningless...

Looks like the serious bidders from last time lost interest, as the bid is sitting at $3,100 with little more than a day left the second time around.
I wonder if the high bidder from last time will be getting contacted in a couple days ?
