I would love to see the pics of your car. That thing has to be just sweet arss sweet.

P.S Welcome to GMi. You'll like it here. Some of the forums get pretty intense, but there is a lot of good information about the automotive industry in general on here.

Agreed! We need pics.

Even though I was a Ford fan at that time (owned a 63 Galaxie 500 XL). The 65 Chevy was great.

 

Cant wait to see pictures!!!

 

How do I post the pictures?

 

How do I post the pictures?

Go to www.photobucket.com. Create and account. Download your pictures to your account. Use the Direct link and paste it into the "Insert Image"(looks like a mountain and sun icon) feature while you edit your replies.

Welcome to GMI.

 

Welcome to GMI. Definitely need pics, soumds like quite the car. My dad has a 66 Caprice with a 396 but it needs a lot of work, been in the family for many years, longer then I have matter of fact.

 

All I get is a red X.
Here is a crash course. If you have your pictures in photobucket here is what you do.

If you click on the Direct Link it will copy the link for you.

In your message click on the mountain icon.

Clear out the http://, Do a right mouse click and that should give you a menu. Click on paste and that should put the URL of your picture in the box. (Right mouse clicks only work in window's PCs) It will look something like this. http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/darndot/Capture-popup.jpg

If you need help. Let us know.

 

Thanks for the instructions! I have pictures. Send me your email address and I will send more of the Impala SS. My email address is mccurryfamily@comcast.net
Proud to be a Chevrolet owner since my first Chevy in 1963(a ten year old '53 Chevy)

Glad that worked for you. I am working on a 65 myself. Not quite a Impala, but still a Chevy. A 65 Corvair Monza Vert. Chevy guys are always welcome here.

 

Ahhh...yellow65, that is a GORGEOUS Impala ... glad you posted the pic .

Thanks!

 

I think it would be cool to own any car for 43 years, let alone a big-block Impala! Outstanding car, and I hope you can pass it on to your kids some day and keep it in the family.

My sister has owned her '71 Firebird since it was brand new, but it's not looking NEARLY as nice as your '65!

 

Can't wait to see pictures of the beauty.

darndot, nice photo posting 101.

 

Nice car!!! welcome to GMI!

 

My older brother bought a new 65 Impala SS just before he left for Nam. I sure hauled around a bunch of girls in that car while he was gone. 327/300 four speed. Ahh, those were the days. Good old car, running well over 100k miles until he got T-boned in the rear quarter.

 

thatMy older brother bought a new 65 Impala SS just before he left for Nam. I sure hauled around a bunch of girls in that car while he was gone.

That sounds familiar! My younger brother would slip and take my '65 out of the garage while I was in 'Nam. One night while he was taking some girls for a spin and showing off he damaged the gears and had to have it towed back home to the garage. My Dad was smart and did not have the transmission repaired until right before my tour ended. I did not find this out until I returned home after 'Nam.

 

That's amazing! An original owner! Where were you when Hemmins Muscle Car was doing their Original Owner issue?

 

Thanks for all the kind words! Both of my sons drove it during their high school days in the late 80's and early nineties. It survived because they knew old dad wanted to keep it and pass it down to them. It will definately stay in the family! IT IS PART OF THE FAMILY AND THE MEMORIES ARE ENDLESS.

INDEED!


My '81 MC SC was purchased by my parents brand new. I bought it from them in December 1999, because I didn't want it to suffer the same fate their (er, "my") '76 MC did.

BUT ... my '81 MC SC is not in near as good as shape as your car, yellow65.


Again ... welcome!

I'll help my ol' Man out. I'm the youngest son that wrecked that beautiful car by getting t-boned in the rear quarter panel. I can remember that day in High School like it just happened....frame...by frame...by frame...by frame! Dad and I worked on "Lilly" together, my White 65 Impala SS that we bought for $900 and restored. We sold it for $2,000 in ~1995. It was in beautiful condition, with white/turquoise interior and a 283 w/PG. (the numbers didn't match though). I'm getting ready to buy a Jeep wrangler as my Daily Driver, but my next car (toy) will be a '65 Impala SS to restore!

Anyway, enough about me. Here are all of the pics for Dad's car.

I'll get him to take more of the inside and engine and upload those as well.
