Chevrolet Impala (1965 - 1970) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The 65 Impala, being our first new car has always held a special spot in our memory and I later regretted letting it get away. We loved the new body style, it was easy to drive and seemed to "float" down the highway. Our son became an auto body guy and about 10 years ago found a '65 SS. He restored it, painting it the same color as our first Impala and gave it to us. Still a beautiful car.Jul 31, 2012

This car was built by American craftsmen and cannot be duplicated today. It is fast, Fun to drive and attracts a crowd wherever you drive it. I'm the third owner and she's a 'survivor' with mostly all original paint, original interior and drive-train. It's got the 300 HP 327 cu. in. V8 and Powerglide transmission. Factory air, tilt, tint, and vinyl roof. Mar 26, 2012

I owned a 67 for 4 years. It had heavy duty suspension from a 396 wagon, a modified 327 and powerglide tranny. It got 12 MPG. It handled well and stopped great because of using police drum brakes (never had brake fade). My next will sport discs up front and modernized 327. Looks good too. Fave thing was it purred like a kitten until you floored it then it roared like a lion.Feb 22, 2010

They dont make them like they used to. This car is invincible. Its made out of something called "metal." This car is so simple and fun to work on. I just love the 60s styling. This car makes you feel like you are in a different time. The Impala is Huge! It is as long as my 79 long box chevy pickup. Inside I can sit in the back seat and spread my feat out. The trunk is massive. I love this car. Its handling wasnt really that great, and the performance wasnt to shabby considering how heavy it was. I had a 350 with a 4 barrel and headers. Would buy another one. Wish I hadnt sold it.Jan 23, 2009

My 1966 Impala convertible is also an SS model. The factory 327-275 hp engine has been rebuilt to 1966 Corvette engine specifications. The powerplant includes the addition of new 10.25:1 pistons etc, Comp cam, bee hive valve springs and roller tip rocker arms, a 625cfm Holley carb, headers and dual exhaust bring this beast to cruising speed nicely. It has a black bucket seat interior with only a tachometer added tastefully to the stock interior. It is a blast to drive and we get the thumbs up from many admirers at cruise nights or just cruisin to the local burger or icecream place. I luv it! Jan 21, 2009

Totalmente recomendable Oct 06, 2008

Styling: Long, low, wide and curvaceous.. 1967 is easily the best-looking model-year of the full-size Chevrolets of the 1960's, and the Impala Sport Coupe, with it's sweeping "fastback" roofline, is the best of the best, in this reveiwer's opinion. Comfort: The coil-spring suspension provides a smooth "glide" ride, and the interior is airy and spacious. Performance: Even the base V8 (283) has power to spare. The optional high-performance engines (327, 396, 427) turn these big beautiful cars into real "road rockets"! I've owned 40+ cars over the years, and my '67 Impala and Bel Air are among my all-time favorites. (Reveiw by Rocko)Mar 15, 2007

This 1965 Chevy Impala was my first car that I bought in 1971. The exterior color was burgundy. The body was a 2-door hard-top with chrome bumpers, grille and chrome trim accents. The tires were wide and the wheels were chrome with baby moon hubcaps. The engine was a 283 ci. V8 with dual exhaust and chrome tips. The interior was black leather with all the chrome moldings on the inside too. The front seat was a bench seat to keep my sweetie close to me at all times. This car was a crusier....not a racer. The car rode smooth which I liked and the shifter was on the column (out of the way..ha!). I am planning to buy another one if it matches these same specs.Jan 12, 2007

Second owner, and had this car for over 35 years. Wins lots of trophies at the shows here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Has been choosen as the front cover of Impala News, USA. I truly look forward to a nice summer day when we cruise with family and friends. Chrome, chrome, chrome will make one stand back when admiring the goods under the hood. This car is a joy to ride and indeed a honour to own. The red body and white boot attract alot of attention, especially, July 1st, Canada Day. Nothing beats a 1966 Chevy Impala Convertible. Top This, licence plate says it all.Jan 07, 2007
