About this Current Vehicle:

I bought this vehicle my senior year. My parents promised me that if I got all A's in high school they would buy me a brand new WS6 Trans Am, they didnt. My dad bought me this car instead to reward me. But I still love her.
I was 18 years old to the day. The second time in my life that I got a car on my Birthday. They pretended that the loan wasnt approved and when I got home from school my mom was freaking out that there was a possum in the garage for me to get it out. So when I open the garage door there she was. My 65 Impala.

Factory Options:

330 HorsePower 327 ci V-8 A/C, 12 bolt rear end. It has the optional Muncie 4-speed transmission. SuperSport package. White Interior with Black accents. Sport Bucket seats with center console. Rally Gauges with optional Vacuum gauge. 14 inch wheels, with SS hubcaps. AM Radio with 2 count em 2 speakers

Exterior Modifications:

none, original paint color is not known, but recently I found out that Regal Red was an original color, go figure

Interior Modifications:

Tach mounted under the dash next to the a/c duct

Performance:

Headers. flowmaster mufflers that dump in front of the axle. 3.73 gears, I have lower gears, I just need to get around installing them, because trust me even with lower gears, freeway is hell.

I installed a Edelbrock Carb to replace the factory Carter 4 Barrel, I rebuilt it, but it was just too old and leaked too much, so I tried to find another one in better condition, but no luck, but the Edelbrock looks pretty much the same, so I got it.

Suspension/Chassis:

all stock

Drivetrain:

rebuilt the transmission and new clutch

Electronics:

none

To-Do List:

N/A
