I'm new here also and building a 1965 Impala Station Wagon. The wagon will be mine. I built this one for the wife. We drove it last year to the Turkey run in Daytona. 3000 mile trip.
Ooowee! That's a beauty '65(just my favorite Impala year). Is that a 396 car? What I'd give for a evening orchid SS model, black interior. Can we get some more detailed pics of that '65? And tell us more about your wagon project? Welcome to the madness Dad!
The convertible is a 396 powerglide car. The drive train is all original. When I bought the car out of a barn in Piqua , Ohio the top was shredded, The interior was ragged out, The floors were gone. And the body was a rusty mess. The engine also has 3 broken pistons. Took about 5 years to restore it. Not counting the years it sat at a body shop where nothing was done. The wagon also was in sad shape but a little better in the way of rust. its a 283 powerglide car. I hope to have it finished this year. Looking forward to taking the family on vacation out west in the wagon.
