CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741.  Up for sale and your consideration is a very rare equipped car. The ultimate factory sleeper ! What we have here for sale is a 1965 Chevy Impala 2-door hardtop bench seat car with a 340 horsepower 409 & 4-Speed & 4.11 rear. Extremely rare in this combination as early 1965 was the end of production for the legendary 409 engines.  They were only offered until February of 1965 and then the 396 big blocks replaced them.  So to find a 409 & 4-speed car today in this package is an extremely rare offering. Please take the time to look over all the photos here.  I have a total of 50 photos of the car that I will be happy to send to any prospective buyer upon request.  Just give me a call and I can send them out. I don't have a window sticker or a build sheet for the car, but I feel this is a true 409 4-Speed car based on physical inspection. It has dual steel lines coming from the gas tank to the engine that have obviously been there since 1965. The fuel line is 3/8". The original back up light switch was old and inoperative and was replaced with a new one. The bell housing, transmission, shifter and driveline all appear original. The original hold down ring for the shifter boot was found under the seat and used to hold down the new replacement shifter boot which is unique to a bench seat car. The numbers are as follows: The VIN # is 164375C111222 designating a 1965 Impala built in Southgate California. The last six numbers (production #s) are just plain interesting...111222 . The data plate shows a C code for Ermine White and a trim code of 811 for black vinyl interior. There is a # 70 after ACC on the data plate that I couldn't find a breakdown for. Engine code on engine flat boss is JB designating 1965 409-340HP manual trans engine. The original carburetor #7025123 was working poorly, so it was removed and replaced with a late model Edelbrock so the car would be driveable without problems with the fuel.  The original carburetor of course goes with the car and the original tag is still on the carburetor. The 4-Speed trans is # 3851325 which designates a 1964-1965 Muncie M20 unit with a 2.56 1st gear. Transmission also appears to have been in the car since 1965. The engine runs great and appears to have been rebuilt somewhere along the line with new freeze out plugs installed. Since I don't have any receipts for a rebuild I can only assume by the way it runs and it's appearance that is a rebuilt engine. It is freshly serviced as well with an engine oil and filter change, new spark plugs, new air filter, and new fuel filter. The rear differential is a 12-Bolt non-posi unit with 4.11 gears. I do have a posi rear with 3.23 gears that goes with the car at the buyers request. I also have the original floor mats to include with the car and there is a trunk mat included. The interior has been renewed with new upholstery, door panels, carpet, headliner, etc. The factory in dash tachometer works. A rare optional clock sits on top of the dash. The car is also equipped with a rare tilt wheel. The lights and wipers all work. The AM radio and heater blower motor do not work. Underside photos of the car are provided so nothing is left to the imagination. Although this is a California car, it was stored outside for some time while in California, and unfortunately had worn out window and trunk seals, causing some rust on the left side floor and trunk. The rear floor was patched from the inside. The trunk floor was professionally replaced along with the gas tank being replaced with a new unit. Please refer to the underside photo and in trunk photo. Looking beyond the left side floor rust one can see that the rest of the underside is all-solid 1965 metal including body mounts and floor supports which are notorious for rust. Window and trunk seals have been renewed. Front suspension and shock absorbers have been renewed. Dual exhaust has also been replaced with Flowmaster mufflers and pipes which have a fantastic sound ! All the glass is fine. The body is rust free and has a presentable appearance with a few small touch ups. This is not a show car but certainly does qualify as an extremely rare one ! Since this car was purchased pretty much as you see it with only minor upgrades, my description is based soley on a thorough physical inspection. If any prospective buyer has any questions on the integrity of this car, I welcome the opportunity to show this car in person by appointment only to answer any questions. Although this is not a show car, it would certainly be a hit at the local cruise or car show. It's what I call "show me another one" car.  I have a clean Pennsylvania title in hand ready for transfer to the new owner. The car has Antique status on the title and shows California as the prior title state. Mileage is listed as exempt on the title as many older cars are that do not have a sixth digit on the speedometer. The title will be processed properly by a licensed Pennsylvania Notary official into the new owners name. A complete bill of sale will also be provided to the new owner in their name. There will be no exceptions to this. Again looking to complete an honest sale here.

Please check my 100% positive feedback and buy with confidence.  After checking out all the photos and reading the entire description here feel free to ask any and all questions on the car.  I have accurately and honestly described the car to the best of my knowledge.  I am looking to complete an honest sale here.  This car is sold in AS-IS condition with no actual or implied warranty or guarantee. If any prospective buyer has any questions as to the condition of the car, again I welcome the opportunity to show the car in person by appointment only to answer any questions on the integrity of the car. The winning buyer using the buy it now option or the winning bidder at the end of the auction will be required to complete an Ebay required $300.00 non-refundable deposit committing themselves to the purchase.   The preferred method of payment is funds in hand and a local pickup of the car. If a buyer requests shipping it will be their financial responsibility.  I will happy to reasonably assist in the appointment set-up, pick-up and loading of the car. I will also be happy to recommend previously used shippers. My contact name and phone number is at the top and bottom of this ad to make it very easy for any prospective buyer to reach me with.  So lastly any questions on this 65 Impala please don't hesitate to CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741.  Thanks and good luck.


On Jun-07-13 at 10:25:45 PDT, seller added the following information:

After receiving multiple requests I forgot to include the engine casting number. It is 3857656 which in the book states 1965 Passenger car 409. The flat boss on the front of the motor is stamped T1211JB  That corresponds to the Tonowanda NY assembly plant for engines and it was built on December 11th.  I also have registration and insurance cards for the car from California and a shipping manifest for the car when it was shipped from California to Pennsylvania on July 16, 2002 so it has spent only 10 years and 11 months in Pennsylvania.  Most of its life was spent in California.

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities. BARRETT-JACKSON REACHES HISTORIC HIGHS FOR SALES, CROWDS AND CELEBRITY APPEARANCES IN SCOTTSDALE • Barrett-Jackson sold 1,611 vehicles, which went for more than $130 million (unaudited), smashing records in the company's 44-year history during the 10-day auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale • Automobilia sales nearly tripled world records, with 2,000 pieces selling for more than $6.55 million • Celebrity attendance and crowds, along with ratings on Discovery and Velocity, spike SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Jan. 18, 2015 – Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car AuctionsTM, reached historic highs during the Scottsdale auction at WestWorld from Jan. 10-18, 2015.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

GM program sees dealers taking on way more loaner cars

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Given the volume of vehicles we're talking about, this is a significant development for GM's bottom line. Bring your car into the dealership for service, and you may need a loaner car in exchange. And with so many recalls being carried out, that means a lot of loaners – especially at General Motors dealerships. That could be one of the reasons why GM is massively expanding its loaner fleet program. While many Chevrolet and Buick-GMC dealerships have an on-site rental car location operated by a third party like Enterprise (which may or may not provide a GM vehicle), others manage their own loaner fleets. But while the range of dealerships operating such fleets was once small, reports Automotive News, the number has been growing rapidly: from the locations responsible for only 20 percent of those brands' sales two years ago to about 90 percent today. The impetus for that growth comes down to a massive expansion of GM's Courtesy Transportation Program. The initiative encourages dealers to ramp up their loaner fleet to a maximum size determined by GM, with a mix determined by the dealer itself, so that a showroom in Texas can be bolstered with a fleet of pickup trucks and a dealer in California can employ more Volt and Camaro Convertible loaners. The dealership gets a $500 credit for each vehicle its puts in its fleet, and can use those vehicles as loaners for service customers, as multi-day test drivers or to rent out separately. The vehicles remain in the dealer's fleet for 90 days or 7,500 miles, then they can be sold as used, but with new-car incentives. The dealer gets a fleet of loaners, customers get to use the loaners, try out a new car overnight or buy a barely used car with attractive incentives, and GM gets to clock more sales. But therein lies the kicker: the automaker counts the dispatch of the loaner new vehicle to the dealership as a new-car sale, which could end up distorting its sales figures. Counting loaner vehicles as sold vehicles is something of an industry-standard practice, but given the volume of vehicles we're talking about, this is a significant development for GM's bottom line. One dealership - Paddock Chevrolet in Kenmore, NY, for example - had no loaner fleet two years ago, but now runs a fleet of 50 vehicles. Multiply that by the 4,000 or so dealers GM has across America and you're talking about the potential for hundreds of thousands of these sorts of sales.
