Introducing this impressive 1965 Impala SS 2-door hardtop. Chevrolet introduced a redesigned Impala for the 1965 model year, which was met with great acclaim, setting a new industry annual sales record with over 1 million units sold in the United States. The new design included a shift from the previous "X" frame design to a full-width perimeter frame, along with new bodies featuring curved, frameless side glass for pillarless models, sharper angled windshields with reshaped vent windows, and a revamped full-coil suspension. This big block beauty is coated in a period-correct GM Crocus Yellow exterior paint (indicated by the trim tag's factory color code "C - K"), while the interior is adorned in Ivory (color code 845, matching the trim tag), maintaining the original color scheme despite the exterior's change from its original Ermine White over Artesian Turquoise poly. Beneath its surface, this potent Impala SS hides numerous impressive features. The original engine has been upgraded to a formidable 427 CID V8 equipped with FiTech Fuel Injection, paired with a smooth-shifting 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission controlled by an HGM Comp-Shift II transmission controller and a TransGo shift kit for swift gear changes. The heart of the big 427 boasts a GM#7115 forged crank, a Comp Cams Extreme Energy 276HR roller camshaft, and a fully balanced reciprocating assembly. Other notable features include oval port iron heads with 2.19" intake/1.88" exhaust valves, a roller-cam-friendly valvetrain, FiTech fuel injection, a polished Edelbrock Hi-Rise intake manifold, and a PerTronix Flamethrower ignition setup. Cooling is provided by a Ron Davis aluminum radiator with twin 12" electric fans, while exhaust flows through a full dual system starting with Doug's Headers. This vintage muscle car also boasts enhanced handling and braking, thanks to a hydraulically boosted power brake system, 2" drop spindles, GM B-body big block coil springs, KYB Gas-a-Just shocks, GM Performance cross-drilled 4-wheel disc brakes, and Circle Racing #105 billet aluminum wheels (18x8 front, 18x9.5 rear) wrapped in Cooper Zeon performance radials. Inside, occupants are treated to a Bluetooth-controlled sound system and fresh Ivory interior featuring synthetic leather that shows minimal wear, well-maintained carpeting, and fresh weather stripping and window felts. Ready for its next long-term owner, this muscle car is calling for a new home.
