Haha! True that! Seeing my dad (57 year old retired high school teacher) riding dirty in the Impala with the 20's and custom paint / interior is just friggin hilarious! :lol: :ROFL:

my dad bought a 65 chevelle its ruff as hell but its all there, had a messed up built 305 in it but came with the original straight 6 and 2 speed trans. messed up 305 i mean it was built to the nines but weird lol, had 1 odd ball piston in it, where the lifters sit it was machined down and had a grove in the lifter hole i guess for more oil, but why on a 305 i have no idea, it has the double hump heads from a 327, and sounded really mean and snappy. but is now stripped down almost to a bare block.

It shows like 65,000 miles on the dash, the original engine looks almost like new. car sat in a storage unit for 13 years with a tarp on it so the body is rusty from the condensation, the body itself is solid, but the floors are bad and 1 spot at the back of the frame, im pretty sure dads going to fix it, i hope he does anyways, you can buy a hole floor pan new, and hes found a southern rust free frame already. would be pretty sweet to see it restored. its pretty much stripped right now and sitting out back of the shop for the winter.

looks like you got a 65 chevelle 300 or 300 deluxe 2 door sedan car, they are rare but the base model of chevelle like my 68, got a website for 300 series cars I love them because they are unique with diiferent emblems and interiors and trim than the Malibu and SS's and concours here's my site www.freewebs.com/chevelle300
