One Owner '65 Impala, #s 396/4-sp, Rough but Complete

[scuncio]

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...:smile:

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!

Cool pics!

Bid to $6870 and didn't hit reserve.

Re-listed

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...:rolleyes2:

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 ?:hmmm:

[scuncio]

Yeah, when a car is on Ebay multiple times, you tend to see bidder fatigue....

[scuncio]

Here it is again, and bidding is only at $2500 and change....

I'm SO tempted to ask him why he doesn't just put it on a BIN auction and get it over with...:rolleyes2:

I was looking at the bids yesterday and there was 1 bidder, who kept raising his bid by $10, trying to find where high bidders max was...23 bids to get to $2,200...:rolleyes2:
I doubled that and there is another bidder trying to find my max now....:grin:

At least he is raising by $50-150. He might get there without placing 50 more bids.
