Cruisin Classics is pleased to present this big-block 65 Chevrolet Impala! If you're looking for a true muscle car sleeper, it doesn't get much cooler than this. Everyone expects a big block to be hiding under the hood of an SS, but this car was ordered from the factory without the SS package, making it a genuine wolf in sheep's clothing. The VIN prefix ""164"" confirms this is a factory V8 Impala, and it was born with a 396ci Big Block, bench seat, and column shift-exactly the kind of car that surprised a lot of people back in 1965. Today it's powered by a strong-running 454ci Chevrolet V8 backed by a dependable TH400 automatic transmission, but don't worry-the original numbers-matching 396 engine comes with the car. Dressed in a nice driver-quality repaint of its original Tahitian Turquoise Poly (Paint Code L), this Impala has the right look sitting on a set of 15-inch Rally wheels with polished trim rings. The chrome, stainless trim, and glass are all in very nice condition, and with just 57,721 actual miles showing on the title, this is a well-preserved example that's only gotten better with age. Inside, this Impala has a clean, honest look that fits the car perfectly. The factory bench seat and column shift remind you this wasn't built to show off-it was built to surprise people. The seats, door panels, carpet, and headliner are all in very good condition, while the dash shows a little age but still presents nicely. It appears the weatherstripping and window seals were replaced when the car was repainted, and all of the windows roll up and down smoothly. Sitting in the driver's seat, you're greeted by a beautiful wood-grain steering wheel with a vintage Sun Super Tach II mounted to the column, giving the interior just the right muscle car vibe. The tach works as it should, along with the factory gauges and interior lights. The heater blows strong, the factory radio is operational, and everything about the interior feels like a car that has been cared for instead of pieced back together. Pop the hood and you'll find a healthy 454ci Big Block that's ready to cruise or roast the tires whenever you feel like it. It's equipped with Headman shorty headers, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, a Holley Street Avenger carburetor, and Chevrolet black valve covers for a clean, period-inspired appearance. Power steering makes it easy to drive, while power front disc brakes provide confident stopping power with rear drums doing their job out back. Best of all, this Impala comes with its original Protect-O-Plate along with the original numbers-matching 396 engine, making it a fantastic opportunity for the next owner whether you choose to enjoy the extra power of the 454 or return it to its factory-correct configuration. Factory big block, non-SS Impalas don't come around very often, and this one checks all the right boxes. If you've been searching for a documented, real-deal sleeper that stands out from the sea of SS clones, this '65 is one you'll definitely want in your garage.

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.
