This is the first 65 Supersport I've seen with 3 on the tree. Very unusual. Great car.

Really rare to see an SS with 3 speed manual. Really cool car

Such an iconic classic example of the American car design! Stunning 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’ve always loved the 65 Impala SS. This one is a gem that just needs a polishing. I hope you post a video of it after it’s restored!

[@fastlanestl]

That's the plan!

[@jimakin3541]

I had a brand new one in 1965, it was also blue, but a lighter shade of blue. It had the 300 HP engine, but it had an automatic transmission with the shifter on the console. It was a cool car, but not all that fast.

[@carolhofbauer2450]

That car is unbelievable great find wow 👍👍

Thanks 👍

[@davidwellman7080]

My dad had a 65 impala 283. Had the 283 rebuilt in 84. The guy that built it use to build race cars so really over built it. My brother and i had so many fond memories with my dad. Ive always wanted to find one again.

[@mitchf1508]

When I was a kid in the mid 1970's, we had a 1965 Impala 4 dr. It had the 283 and a power glide. No A/C, but power steering/brakes. That was a fun car. I drove it up and down the block when I was only 14! Got busted by Dad, but he just said "don't let me catch you doing that again"... Well, he never did "catch me again"! ha, ha.. 😆 I would leave it the way it is, as it's a survivor for sure. Just get the mechanicals up and going and freshen up whatever it needs, but make it a "daily driver" for sure!

[@fastlanestl]

Ha, great story!

[@DaveCarson2112]

Same, when I turned 16 Dad tossed me the keys and said it was mine. It was in decline but I got a couple of years out of it before the rust of the Great White North took hold. What a beautiful car and amazing the shape it was still in after all those years of storage. Great job shining this beauty up and I envy the new owner.

[@Expatriate1977]

You’re doing the lords work. ❤

[@gman9035]

My dad had a white 66 SS. I loved that car

[@stevegordon5243]

I had a 66 Impala SS with a 396 and 3spd turbo hydromatic on the console. It was white with the same aqua blue color this one has. Wish I still had it

[@splender88]

Nice solid car with a near perfect interior. Don't think I've ever seen one with a three on the tree and console if this is all orginal it is definitely a rare combination.

[@jimmccauley9099]

Still have a bunch of parts for the 65 SS. Dash w/tach instead of vacuum gauge. Steering column for console shift etc etc.

[@johnnyace1954]

Man that Impala looks great! All the grime dust and dirt of 40 years came off. Especially the interior came out so nice!!

[@fastlanestl]

Yes it does!

[@diarrawilliams8347]

That Impala looks great. Y’all did a great job with that car.

[@TheTussman]

I loved the 3-speed shift pattern, fun to drive with the small block but even the silky Biscayne inline-six.

[@leegunter5223]

3 on the tree Super Sport. Wow unusual! My grand father special ordered a 67 Impala 4 door! Beautiful blue with a blacke vinyl top . It had climate control not just AC with a temp. dial. He ordered it with a 3 on the tree to exercise left leg. Diabetes left it weak. But the kicker was the engine. 396/325 hp

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

Great job cleaned up super nice

[@fastlanestl]

Thanks 👍

[@petersemple9278]

A buddy of mine bought a Biscayne with basically this same body in about '69. It was also a 3 on the tree, and took a full body swing to put her through the gears. Him and I were driving it home from the lot, and pulled into a Burger King for some quick lunch on the fly. I ran in to order and a couple minutes later I was picked up off the ground from behind. My friend had been doing something under the dash when he pulled out an envelope. I t was packed with cash, and looked like maybe the owner had cashed his paycheck and headed to the tavern and just forgot? I don't remember just how much it was, but it more than payed for his new Chevy, and we sat down for a great lunch down the road!!

[@adamvalenzuela6626]

I remember when my brother had a nice 1966 Chevrolet Caprice SS with a 396 ci. Automatic on the floor power windows nice gauges on the console.

[@haroldrogers6083]

My first car was a black on black 2 door 65 Impala wirh ac327 and 2 speed power glide . I bought it in 1975 and didnt get my licence till 1976 , i worked part time at DQ and had a buddy that worked at Big Town Auto parts and i took him my check every week and he would sell me bolt on speed parts and chrome goodies for the car . I found a set of chrome reverse wheels with baby moon caps and bought a set of recap tires for it so when i started driving it to school it was pretty decked out , One other guy at school had a 65 SS same color but he had chrome slots on his , but i liked my moons better !! Still love that body style !!!

[@skinnerhound2660]

That's an amazing survivor. Very solid, usual problem areas are in great condition. This car deserves a complete body restoration. It is a documented 3spd A/C car with a shift plate delete console. Danube blue is the best color in '65. Chevrolet produced one million passenger cars in '65, a production record that has yet to be broken.

[@JohnAllsopp-jk2mn]

I also remember when my Das would take us fishing and on one occasion when we were leaving a private fishing site that was gated , so someone (me) had to get out and close the gate behind us...dad thought it would be funny to take off before I could get back in the car(68 biscayne) to see how fast I could run. He said I got up to around 20 mph before he stopped. 😂

[@fastlanestl]

🤣😂🤣

[@Leo-DaGreek]

The body is very similar to my 67 Buick Rivera

[@loose-arrow-garage]

That's a great barn find three on the tree and a posi rear end. The only thing I would do to it is install a 4 speed and leave the paint as is!

[@leeketner6488]

' 63 - ' 67 ARE the most sought after impalas , for old school heads.

[@jamesdemestihas9904]

Not so much 67 and 68

[@JohnAllsopp-jk2mn]

My Dad had an 68 chevy Biscayne ...really cool looking car...IMHO is was a more stylized version of the Impala. He had the head rebuilt around 1975 when the timing went out. He must have drove the wheels off. I have a newer chevy(05 colbalt) the timing went out and I'm having the head rebuilt and timing replaced. Some things never change. Honestly I'd get rid of mine except for the sentimental value

[@coolmoodee]

That would look good in my collection.

[@irvinlewis5022]

I missed my chance. I couldn’t get my wife on board to buy that car. It was her mom’s cousins.

[@alanr4863]

I had a 65 impala back when I was a teenager paid 100 dollars for it running an driving later sold it for 500 dollars white over blue

[@jimmillet1442]

I have one almost like it that's badly rusted..Those things rusted on the showroom floor,but mines a hardtop and not an SS. We bought it new and I can tell you any 327 3 speed car is very rare and mine is also the 300 horse version,most were 250 even in the SS.Not sure what to do with mine.I lived in Arizona for 18 years and couldn't even find a rust free car in that state and nothing rust there.I saved it because of the rarity and would still like to find a decent body.

[@bruschmidt9943]

I don't understand why people whom "save" & put a way a valued car don't invest in a car cover? We're not talking a lot of money & 40 years is a very long time. My grandmother did this with her new '54 Corvette convertible, only she immediately threw sheets, blankets & quilts over it in her detached garage. It sat there 40+ years, never driven & the odometer still showed the original 00011 miles. That was for dealer prep, test drive & bringing it to her home. Here's the best part. She never uttered one word about it & nobody was allowed in her garage. She was very private about her possessions.
