Love the big cars!!Very nice 65 you have,welcome to the site.

Stunning....I like the low mileage, unrestored originals. Anything else you can tell us about it? Did you get any owner history or original paperwork along with the car?

Re: Greetings from Georgia
 

I bought the car at a Chevrolet dealership in Opelika, Alabama in July. I located and spoke to the original owner (he lives near me), just after I bought the car. It appears he seldom drove it. The car was manufactured at the GM-Doraville plant (7 miles from my home) and was sold new at the Nash Chevrolet dealership in Lawrenceville, Georgia (about 25 miles from my home). I have the original build sheet (which I found stuck in the springs in the passenger bucket seat), owner's manual, warranty book with protect-o-plate, and a paper tag on the back of the front carpet (dated 1/7/65). No window sticker or sales invoice, unfortunately.

That is one of the nicest unmolested 300 horse 4spd coupes I have ever seen. Very nice. I can only imagine the number of times you have to say "It's not for sale" when driving anywhere around Atlanta.

What is the rear end gear ratio? If it is a 355 or deeper that car would get up from zero to 40-50 before you realize it. The M20 makes it amazingly quick with the steep first gear.

Rear axle is a <span style="font-weight: bold">G94</span> 12-bolt 3.31:1. And yes it gets fast pretty quick for a big car.

Love the rear treatment and tail lights on the 65 impala. They are my fav year. When I was little i built 5 or 6 65 impala model cars.

Me too . . when the '65 cars came out (fall of 1964) I was 12 years old, and I lusted after the new Impala. I finally bought my first (non-SS) in 1970. It was stolen in 1979, and it took me 32 years to find the replacement.
