Chevrolet Impala 1965 Description

1965 Impala S/S Convertible 396 4 Speed Transmission.I bought this car on E Bay just about 2 weeks ago only to learn last week my expectations of doing a frame of restoration would be short lived do to a ill health and an upcoming surgery as explained to me by my doctor my auto restoration days are over.I am listing the car with a no reserve price and just a 15,500 starting bid.
Also included in the sale of the car is a trunk load of parts some new most all perfect to mint condition.A partial list of parts are as follows New complete door panel stainless molding and Impala S/S door emblem,the door panels were put on new but were not purchased with all the trim also is the door reflector,New eyebrow moldings,New complete set headlamp bezels,New trunk lip molding.This car was ordered without a padded dash included is a Mint condition Black Padded dash cover,lots of convert stainless trim Both driver passenger and both rear quarter glass all perfect no cracks.A perfect under dash complete wiring harness,perfect rear lite harness,good console harness.This is just a partial list I would say in all well over 1,500.00 worth of parts i,m getting out of it.Ok now about the car it is by no means perfect if your looking for a show car move on this car is a 20 footer,it does start right up and runs pretty good the top works perfect and the header bow matches up very nice to the header when up and locked.The interior is perfect looks to be new a very short time ago.Door panels are brand new but were not bought with all the trim this I have included to finish dressing them out they were replaced when the power windows were removed and manual roll ups installed,I had planed on putting power windows back in as all the wiring harnesses are still in tact.All the trim front and rear is nice,rocker moldings appear to be brand new and look great!Bumper chrome is nice,rear panel molding straight long piece and 2 corner pieces are beautiful those are the real expensive pieces,front hood and rear trunk bowtie pieces beautiful i,m also including both of them in the parts,door handles very nice drivers mirror ni.cer than pass side but still nice.The top has no tears in it came unclosed trailor driver said rained almost all the way here in shipment and there was no water in the car.Someone along the way has added power steering and power brakes to the car.The car did come with a 396 Engine but the original is long gone.Here are the numbers front pad T1109JQ was made in Tonawanda engine plant 11month of 1969 was use in a 1969 chevrolet with turbo hydro trans.The block casting number is 3955272 which is a 396 cu inch block use in about 4 different horse power engines,was made in a 2 and a 4 bolt main.It has an edelbrock carb and intake that is bolted to a huge set of tall heads I cant give you a head casting number because I,m not taking anything apart but if I had to guess I would say they were for a 350 0r 375 hp engine.With no insurence I didnt want to take any chances but I drove it up and down the street where I live and it has a lot of power.Ok what doesnt work just from a quick look Radio,Tach Moves a little but would need to be sent out,Wiper motor have a perfect harness in the parts if thats what it is,Brake lites probably just a switch as the directional signals and tail lites both work.Dont know what to say I will answer any and all questions.I will store the car here in my garage for the winning bidder untill pickup which will be his responsibility.
