1965 Impala SS value
 

What is the value of a '65 Impala SS numbers matching 327 with a powerglide?

Nicely restored not show car but above average driver. Nice bodywork nice paint.

Factory Yellow with white interior buckets console.

20k is my opinion.

With the description you gave, I'm below Mike at 12-15k in today's market.

it really depends on who wants it and how far he is willing to reach in his pocket
i would say 10k by your description

65 Impala in decent condition, 327, blue. Mecum auction: 7K ! I thought it was cheap.

I would say under 15k for a nice one. 327 PG cars are fairly plentiful.

agreed, powerglide cars = mneah
8k or so, up to 10k depending on condition
10-12k for a 4spd

My first car was a '65 4spd 327 SS, sold it about 10 years ago

Where did Mike come up with that price? I agree $8 to $10k is realistic. The powerglide hurts a lot. Ac can bring it back up some but even at the above price with this economy nobody will be beating down the door to get there. Yellow and white is a good combination.

There was a '65 SS 409 Impala in Auto Trader Classics a year or so ago that was asking around 25K IIRC.

Agree, the Powerglide just kills the value. 283 with original 4-speed would almost be more desireable. Yellow w/white is one of my favorites for that year Impala.

I saw a similar car sell a yr or so ago at an auction. It may or may not have been nicer than this one but it brought a tick over 20k. Bone stock, Chevy version of Maifair Maize paint [Candlelight Cream ?], Numbers, 327, auto ,a/c p/s,p/b,bucket seats, console with clock,guages, NICE ride.


The above car may have been a fluke but that was the final price and it sold.

There was a very nice 66 Impala SS for $7500 on Craigslist in NC about 3 - 4 months ago. I saw photos of the car, but never saw it in person, and it appeared to be very nice. It was a 327 automatic car.

Just to let you know
 

Abe, if that's the Impala listed in February Hemmings for $13,500, it came down from $16,500 in June 2009 Hemmings.

It's got a couple rare options, but that doesn't off-set the P/G, in my opinion.

On the other hand, if the paint and bodywork are nice, That would cost anywhere from $8-12K, depending on how much prep work was done. An expense you don't have to add on later.

A friend of mine has a 65 SS 396 PG. with AC. Currently has a 454/350 turbo. It might be for sale? Still has the original engine/tranny.

Ummm, I thought all 65 Big Chevies with the 396 got turbo 400's when you had an automatic instead of the PG. I know the 409 got the PG, and I know that we bought the very first 396 65 Impala that our Chevy dealer got in and it had the turbo 400.

Jerry, all big block autos I've seen have the TH400. With Chevrolet never say never tho.

Difficult to say based on the info provided. 20K might be the upper limit. Where is it? I'm looking for one to replace the "rust bucket" I sold in 1973 for $200.

If that doesn't work our for you I may know a guy who still has one or two he'd part with locally.

As much as I hate to admit it, 65 Impala is one Chevy I would be happy to own. One of the best looking big Chevies ever made IMHO.

I had a chance to buy one a few years back from a friend. It was a factory 396 4spd car, red over black buckets, console. Really solid driver that I regret passing up but I was determined to get a GTO. I think I could have gotten it for a very good price at the time...

By the way Mike, that color was called Butternut IIRC.

Back in 1977 when I met my now wife....her father had a 1965 Impala SS with a 396/325 hp with a 4 speed in the garage! All original with a small Holley carb, single exhaust, spinner hub caps and the dealer installed tie down on the drivers side to keep from breaking the motor mount! Paperwork was in the car stating price of $4,011 new.
