THIS IS A VERY SOLID 1965 REAL SUPER SPORT PROJECT
This is a 100% real super sport V8 1965 Chevy Impala, true VIN # 166 S.S. V8 car. The car was built the 4th week of January 1965 so this could have been a 409 car or a 396 car ??? Since the end of January to the beginning of February 1965 was the transition period of the end of the 409 and the beginning of the 396. Build the car how you want and no one would ever know.
There is NO engine or transmission with the car now, it was gone way before I got the car, it is a factory power brake and power steering car. The odometer reads 90,118 which by the condition of the car I would believe it to be original? The car has no seats but is a factory bucket seat, console and floor shift car.
The glass in the car is in real good shape, the chrome around all the windows on the car is in real good shape, the door handles are real good, the back bumper is real good, the front bumper has some surface rust on it, the grill is only driver quality, there is no tail lights. The dash in the car is in real nice shape and has not been cut or hacked up and has the factory radio (the dash pad is cracked) Has the original front seat belts.
The body on this car is as close to rust free as you will ever find. The inner and outer rockers, the inner and outer quarters and wheel tubs, the trunk floor, rear seat floor and driver side floor boards are all rust free. I cleaned them out and put the car up on the lift and I can NOT find ANY rust anywhere in those areas. The passenger side front floor has a few pin holes starting, NOTHING that requires replacing the floor pan or anything like that. A 1" x 1" patch and a 1/2" x 1/2" patch will fix it real easy. That is the only rust I can see in the car from the top or bottom.
The car just has light surface rust from sitting in a barn for so long is all, nothing major at all. Starting with a car this solid will save you thousands of dollars $$$ and hundreds of hours verses starting with a rusted out car that needs panel replacement. This car would take a lot of money nor time to the right person to be on the road and show ready.
It would be very difficult if not imposable to find any project this solid let alone a 100% real super sport factory V8 bucket seat console car.
I have a clean and clear title in hand. I also have a shipper that I have used 18 times in the last 7 years that is licensed and insured so I can arrange reasonable shipping to your door anywhere in the 48 states (at your cost of course)
What you see is what you get, the car is sold as is. If you have any questions or would like to come look at the car feel free to ask. Thank you

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
