The ad doesn't say anything about originality, other than the car was originally an auto, so who knows how it was originally equipped. In any case, I'm loving the red-on-red bench seat 4-speed look with the multiplex, PW, etc. Really neat car.

That cruise control actuator on the core support is insane! Doesn't seem like a great idea decoupling the actuator from the engine...but I guess that was how it was done on the accessory kit.

Are the front fender flags in the right location?

I was thinking the same thing. Look to be too far rearward but I'm not 100% certain. Maybe a little too high as well.

They do look odd, but what a neat car

The flags are sitting too high on the front fenders. That red is not a correct 65 factory color either. Also not sure if the Multiplex was available in 65. Its a nice car, but not sure its worth the $49k asking price.

----While we can find a few problems, I think we all could agree that someone spent a bucket full of money getting this Impala to this level. Very nice resto on what appears to be a nice car to start with...….Bill S
