  • Hi! Today we're going to get a close look at Agent 4261's beautiful, original 1965 Chevrolet Impala 4 door hardtop. It's running it's original 283 2 barrel that has never been apart or out of the car. The paint is also 90+% original, and the car has only had 3 owners from new. Cold War Motors loves untouched cars, and this old Chev is a real treat to drive and ride in. It's running the original Powerglide transmission, freshly rebuilt, and a set of 15 inch American mag wheels. Dual exhaust sounds great, and so does the original AM radio. It's got power steering and brakes, and the interior is like new!
    Let's go for a spin...

    Easily one of the best-looking 4 door cars ever made. That it's survived and still looks that "new" is truly amazing.

    I recently found one of these in the woods on a person I know's property, It's currently at my house and I'm restoring it! I'm only 15 and taking a lot of advice from the older car guys in my town, people that'd been working on these cars since the 1960s and 70s. This video makes me so excited for the moment my own Impala will start up!

    Mine was in red, inside and out. It was just as clean and original as that one. It didn't sit as high as that one did though, maybe it's the aftermarket wheels . It was quiet and smooth, like riding a magic carpet. Loved that car. Someone plowed into it while parked on the street at my work. I still have the red checked scarf that went across the dashboard. Had it not been totalled, I bet it would still be with me now.

    Those old impalas are awesome winter cars.
    Drove a 1964 Impala during high school and we would beat the heck out of that 283.
    We often went drift banging in the winter and got that engine bay so packed you could not even hear the engine run.
    When I popped the hood all you could see was the top of the air cleaner and everything else was covered.
    Car worked great but it was definitely not a powerhouse and having a broken engine mount made for a fairly exciting time when the throttle would stick wide open lol!

    GREETINGS FROM A FELLOW CANADIAN IN ONTARIO! VERY NICE 1965 IMPALA! MY FAMILY AND I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT ALL YEARS OF IMPALAS THROUGH THE YEARS! IMPALAS AND CAMAROS ARE MY FAVORITE CHEVROLETS! I OWN A 2015 CAMARO STYLED AFTER THE 1969 CAMARO NOW, BUT IF I COULD RIGHT NOW, I WOULD OWN AN IMPALA SS HARDTOP SPORT COUPE OR CONVERTIBLE FROM THE 1962-1969 MODEL YEARS WITH ONE OF THE 4 BARREL V8S OFFERED WITH DUAL EXHAUSTS! LOOKS GOOD FOR AN ORIGINAL 1965 IMPALA HARDTOP SPORTS SEDAN! I LOVE THE MAG WHEELS & DUAL EXHAUSTS YOU ADDED TO YOUR IMPALA! I WILL DO THE SAME THING WHEN I BUY ANOTHER IMPALA! TAKE CARE AND ALL THE BEST! 😊😁😎😍👍👌🤘✌

      Engine is entirely original. Head was off once just to reseal, but engine has never been out of the car. Currently has 162,000 miles and literally runs like the proverbial sewing machine; idles smoothly and quietly. I try to keep things as original as possible and shun " made in Mexico/China" parts. Low beam T-3 headlights are nos from '72 as is the air filter, for example.
