350-Powered 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS Coupe

This 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS sport coupe is said to have been purchased new by a friend of the seller’s father-in-law, and it was acquired by the seller in 2024 from the father-in-law following a cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment. The body is finished in “Silver Green” and has replacement windows and reconditioned trim, and the car is powered by a 350ci V8 mated to a two-speed automatic transmission. Further equipment includes a Holley carburetor, a polished intake manifold, MSD ignition, front lowering springs, and exhaust headers. Foose 17″ chrome wheels are installed over a hydroboosted front disc brake system, and the refreshed cabin is outfitted with black vinyl upholstery, a center console, a Kenwood head unit, and aftermarket speakers. This Impala SS coupe is now offered with a clean Washington state title in the seller’s name.

The car left the factory finished in Artesian Turquoise (K), and the seller notes that work in 2012 included refinishing the body in “Silver Green”, installing green-tint glass, and reconditioning the exterior trim. Clear coat is also said to have been applied.

Chrome Foose five-spoke 17″ wheels are mounted with a mixed set of Toyo Proxes and Hankook Ventus tires. A matching spare wheel with an Ohtsu tire is stowed in the trunk. The car is equipped with a hydroboosted front disc brake setup as well as lowering springs up front.

The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in black vinyl, and the seller notes that cabin refurbishment materials were sourced from Classic Industries. Appointments include a center console, aftermarket speakers, a trunk-mounted subwoofer, and a Kenwood head unit mounted in a custom glovebox enclosure. The radio installed in the center of the dashboard does not work.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a green-font 120-mph speedometer flanked by a combination gauge and a manifold vacuum readout. The five-digit odometer shows 4k miles since the completion of the refurbishment, and the total mileage is unknown.

The 350ci V8 was installed in 2012, per the seller, who notes that aluminum cylinder heads and roller rockers were used during the build. The engine breathes through a Holley carburetor atop a polished aluminum intake, and further details include MSD ignition, exhaust headers, an aluminum radiator, and twin electric fans.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a two-speed automatic transmission.
