1965 Chevrolet Impala

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 1965 Chevrolet Impala, finished in a deep Viper Red exterior over a Saddle Tan interior. This classic convertible combines the long, unmistakable lines of the Impala with an extensive list of performance, suspension, cooling, and interior upgrades designed around cruising and drivability.

Under the hood is a 427 CID V8 equipped with FiTech fuel injection and long-tube headers. Power is sent through a freshly rebuilt 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, controlled by a floor-mounted Lokar shifter. A serpentine belt system with aluminum pulleys, Be Cool aluminum radiator with electric fan, and custom dual exhaust further complement the drivetrain.

Underneath, Hotchkis Sport suspension helps update the handling, while variable-ratio power steering and power disc brakes provide additional control. A 12-bolt rear end with 3.55 gears and limited slip puts the power to the pavement. The car rides on 17-inch Cragar 390 Series Street Pro chrome wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich radial tires.

Inside, the Saddle Tan cabin features custom power bucket seating with cloth inserts, a custom center console, and AutoMeter gauges integrated into the dash. A leather-wrapped Grant steering wheel mounted to an Ididit tilt column adds another custom touch, while an Alpine CD/radio system with an auxiliary input provides updated audio. Vintage Heat and A/C adds comfort for cruising with the top up or down.

The power convertible top opens the cabin for classic open-air cruising, while the Viper Red finish, detailed engine compartment, custom trunk treatment, and polished exterior accents complete the presentation.

With its 427 V8, 700R4 overdrive automatic, FiTech fuel injection, Hotchkis suspension, 12-bolt limited-slip rear end, upgraded cooling system, and extensively updated interior, this 1965 Chevrolet Impala brings together classic full-size Chevrolet styling and a strong collection of modernized components.
