I tried several times the other night to post comments, but it posted only the video of my '65. I love the looks of your car ... awesome ride. You have every right to be proud of it. Regarding the wheel well moulding, these cars all had the moulding. Way back in the day ('80-85) when I was doing the restoration on my car, I threw away the factory mouldings (stupid). They really weren't that bad, just the typical little dents and rough edges on the inside. Anyway you have a great car.

Thank you for your comment! I got to watch your Impala with open headers and I really enjoyed both sound and image! I bet you are rightfully as proud of your '65 as I am of mine, plus yours has a 327! You can check out two longer videos of my Impala on mancamaroz28's channel, the cutouts are opened in "the deal".

Love your '65. My Dad bought a new '65 impala 2-door in regal red with beige interior, 283, and the manual shift three on the tree. He paid $3200 for it. I was fifteen years old at the time and was in pure heaven, having just gotten my drivers' license. The car had the wheel well trim that people are talking about. I still have a few incidental pictures of the Impala. Take good care of your prize!

@Buffalosharps Thank you for your comment. Did you get to scan your old pictures by any chance, so I can see your Impala?

Hey buddy. My dad had a SS 396/325 Powerglide. Same color scheme. He had the stock SS wheel covers though. Seeing this video brought back so many good memories from my childhood. My father sold it when i was 11 to help pay for a surgery my mother needed. You have the most beautiful '65 on youtube. Keep it clean and don't ever sell it. Excellent job and take care

@vabch82 Hi there! I appreciate your comment. I know from experience what it is to sell a car and miss it later. I've had this Impala for 5 years and will keep it! Take care.

The first car I bought when I got my license was a 65 Impala 2dr hardtop. It too had 283/three-no-the-tree. It was white with black vinyl top. The only extra was factory AM/FM radio. I bought it in 82 for $850. At that time, they weren't as desired as they are now so you could get them real cheap.

what does a 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION mean, on a gmc truck?

@ns3330 Repro wheel well moulding are available at Classic Industries but I'm not so fond of them, I'll leave it as it is for now...

That wheel well moulding for the 65 Impala must be hard to come by nowadays....65 Impalas came with them from the factory, but that trim takes a beating over the years......I am guessing that that moulding may not be available any longer....not being reproduced and many people are simply repainting the cars and doing without the wheel lip mouldings...
