This 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible was assembled in St. Louis, Missouri, and was later exported to Canada. The car was specified in Madeira Maroon over Ivory vinyl upholstery with power coming from a 327ci V8 mated to a floor-shifted four-speed manual transmission. Features include 14″ steel wheels with covers, a white convertible soft top, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, rear air shocks, a center console, and an aftermarket digital stereo. This Impala SS was acquired by the selling dealer in 2025 and is now for sale with a soft top boot, car cover, spare parts, and British Columbia registration. The car was delivered from the factory in Madeira Maroon (N) and was repainted under previous ownership. Equipment includes a replacement white convertible soft top, bright trim, quad headlights with aftermarket covers, dual side mirrors, and chrome-finished bumpers. The 14″ steel wheels wear stylized SS covers and are mounted with older Arizonian Silver Edition tires. The car is equipped with power steering and rear air shocks, and braking is provided by power-assisted discs in front and drums out back. The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in Ivory vinyl (802). Interior appointments include a carpeted dash cover, a center console, an analog clock, an aftermarket digital stereo, and a cabin heater. The front seat upholstery shows wear. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 29k miles. The car is powered by a 327ci Turbo-Fire V8, which spins the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The engine was factory rated at 300 horsepower. The engine block stamping is shown in photos. Corrosion on the underside is shown in photos below.
