Nick Scavo 1965 Impala highlights

[@thyssenm]

I’ve always dreamt about this car since I was a teenager, when this car graced the pages of HRM back in the mid-nineties. I read the article on it many times over and still have most of it memorized. This is still one of the baddest street cars of all time, in my opinion. I still wish to this day that I could buy it, but I’m pretty sure it’s long gone.

[@brianpeterson8667]

Yes, he sold it a long time ago. He started driving for my buddy Bob Hood in his '68 nova ( you can find that in HOT ROD ) magazine as well. Not anymore though. Bob sold it & went Sprint Car racing in the day these cars actually drove on the street . Raced on the street , unlike nowadays where everyone puts it in a trailer, pushes it with a golf cart.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

My brother bought a new 1965 Chevy, 396 4-speed. It was maroon, with maroon interior including bucket seats. We went on vacation in it.

[@kevinlange7319]

I remember when this car was in Ricks shop. I got to see al the tricks that were done to it, and the purple car Chuck raced .It was Maroon back then though.

[@robertspence831]

Love this machine!

[@Sojourning_]

I owned that very same color 65 Impala back in the day

[@ChrisDavis-dt6xx]

People love those old classic Chevrolet’s

[@markblue5375]

Nick ruled 🏁

[@christianbattestin9747]

I like that it still has the column shifter.

[@crazylarryjr]

It was modified to work backwards for a reverse pattern valvebody. Basically the notches were reworked so pushing down went from 1st to second only then pull and drop again for third. if third was needed, sometimes he used a powerglide

[@mikespillman3075]

where is this car today?

[@stevesolo16]

Do it yourself, home garage innovations is what made America unique. In the EU there is a saying, "American's try to make the egg better than the chicken." And it is true. We are a nation of tinkerers. It is also true, more patents have been given to American tinkerers than any other group. So, keep on, keepen on!

[@65chevychev16]

If you wanna win the Race you cant cross the centerline ! Why doesn't the Impala have any Wheelie Bars ? Just Wondering !!

[@cyclonekevin6199]

They wanted the cars, to stay stock appearing as possible.

[@budddove6480]

[@MadSceintist]

Early 90's I'd guess. Real shame that people suck. My son could have been driving his 65 impala to school, instead he's not concerned either way

[@syfr]

Filmed in full potato vision

[@Badlatitude]

This was filmed probably on VHS considering the video is 25 years old........

[@johnnyguillotine1673]

Be glad that it also wasn't filmed in Mexico that sepia filter.
