- When I first saw this Impala driving onto the paddock, I thought to myself 'What a clean looking classic car!'. Fresh paintjob, no rust and awesome steelies. However, little did I know, it had a 700+hp setup under the hood.
This 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS is powered by a boosted (procharged) 400cui small block V8.

I'll take that old Chevy over the rest of those cars!
💯
@You Tube I guess you didn't see the part where the 57 year old "junk chevy" is still in great shape and whipped everyone's ass all day that day???
@@rrip1 he just jealous he can't afford one
You fool🤦🤪
Anytime.
My 2nd car as a kid was a 65 Impala 327 4speed. What a sweet ride. Wish I still had it today. I was 17 and am now 71. Sweet memories
I know what you mean .i had one in 70 .I was 17 IAM 69 now
I don't care win or lose I would take the Impala over any of them. Because it looks like a nicer car and it's got a better body style
Yeah. That’s a real car right there. I’d take it over every other one here.
I Agree oldschool classic muscle
65 to 69 Chevy front clips were the best years. El Camino, Chevelle, Impala and 67 and 68 pickups.
I like the Impala as well but I wouldn't take it over the Hellcat redeye. That was rare breed and will be worth lots of money.
Yes sir all day long
You see that Impala reminds me of a time where Chevy wasn't so full of shit and realized what a real car is supposed to look like and do on top of that with a real car supposed to be made out of
Curious thought what Impala body do you prefer 77 or the slim models like the 71 I personally am more partial to the 71 but 77 is in supernatural gotta give them props for that
@@brucepraska7781 Honestly I prefer any other bodies with the 6 lights in the back in the back I just thought it was so cool how The body was long and sleek yet still could perform, Dad owned a 67 Chevelle SS green with black stripes big block 454, Yeah wherever you saw that car that's where you knew he was
@@brucepraska7781 I think you mean 67 and 61, since the supernatural car is a 67. I have a 67 Impala SS fastback, so it's my favorite.
When this Impala was built, most of America only bought American made cars. Wasnt till the early 70s when imports, the EPA and resting on their laurels came into play. Went down hill from there.
GM and Dodge owned the muscle car days
My friend had a 65 SS impala that he upgraded from a 327 2bbl powerglide to a 454 turbo 400. The seat belts were perfect bottle openers back then.
@Mark rapacki
It did come with a 283 two barrel and several different configurations of 327 four barrels
Base V8
283 ci , 195 hp with Rochester (7024101) 2-barrel, code #GA or GC
Optional V8
283 ci , 220 hp with Rochester (7024024) 4-barrel, code #GK or GL (NOT SURE IF THE SS HAD THIS ENGINE, AS THE BOOK ONLY SHOWS CHEVROLET NOT SS. ALL OTHERS ARE LISTED AS THEY WERE USED ON THE SS)
327 ci , 250 hp with Carter (3846247) 4-barrel, code #HA or HC
327 ci , 300 hp with Dual exhaust and Carter (3851761) 4-barrel, code #HB or HD
Great idea! I’ll think I’ll try the bottle openers on my dads 69 laurentian
The Impala was holding it’s own against some heavy hitters of new day Hotrod’s !!!
Muscle cars! Not hot rods
Not only that, it did it with Whitewalls on! Seems gramps still has a few tricks up his sleeves the young'uns don't know about yet ;)
@@richjustrich8043 Actually they are performance Sedans. A Muscle car is a bare bones torque monster with almost zero luxury features. The newer cars are Luxed out to the max with all the extras no one askes for. And that plus all of the governmental required parts. And the Impala weights less too.
Driver really wasn't all that great on the tree
@@stevegillis5297 Which driver, which race?
you dont mess with land yacht you made my day
One of my favorite cars in terms of styling was the 65 Impala. A great work of art along with other early 60s Impalas
Love that sleeper look. Especially the white walls.
The ultimate sleeper
Once it cranks up its obvious it ain't no sleeper.
In 1965, and again in 1966, Chevy Impala as a single car model sold over one million units. Never done before, and never done since. I had a red one like this with a 283 automatic & it was one of the best cars I've ever owned. I'd take this Impala over anything it raced in this video.
As an old school die hard Mopar guy, I love the 65/66 Impala , always thought is was great underrated car, I had a 65 and and then had a 69 , Loved the 65 more then the 69.....Much respect for those 65/66 Imps
I had a buddy who had a 66 with a 337 it would haul the mail It didn’t take no time for it to peg that needle !!!
💯🤜🏼🤛🏼Agreed Homie
@@rodneychapman1506 Did you mean a 327, or was it bored .032 over spec?
@You Tube I had a 338 ci. It was better.
65 Chevrolet being that heavy is surly impressive....
That 65 Chevy really made my day
I hate 1/8th mile tracks...can't tell much in a 1/8th mile.
My God the styling of these cars. Two of my favorites. That menacing hulk of the Challenger with it's sinister headlight stare, and the iconic realness of the Impala's low profile and creamy burgundy paint that just waves at you....as it goes by....DAMN
My 6 round taillights and bowtie just said "you lose"!😜
My Dad bought a new 65 Impala,9 passenger station wagon with the 327, 4 barrel, 3 speed on the column. After we started pulling a tent trailer he decided to put a Muncie 4 speed with a Hurst Competition Plus linkage on the floor. My Mom would do a little drag racing while we went to get groceries, lol. Never had any problems with it. Thanks for the memories
Nice 65. The wheel / tire combo really makes the look.
True that! Very cool
Makes a look alright, but not a look that is my taste. I would rather have deep dish reverse Cragars and some Goodrich TA Radials. But then, I was around when this Impala was ordered new. My guess is you were not born yet?
Not fond of the rim and tire set up. Cragar's and Micky Thompson's or Hoosiers and He would have beaten the Hellcats everytime. Yeah, I was around the too. Also when my father bought our '63 Impala wagon.
My Dad drove on the road with a 1967 Chevy Caprice that had a 427 four speed. He reworked the heads and intake and that thing was a beast.
Quite a few took big block chevys off road as well.
Old cars are awesome ! You can fix just about anything on em ! No damn check engine lights ! Ever ! 😁
Love that Impala be nice to know engine details
That's one stupid looking Impala. My parents had a '65 Impala Wagon. I took the wheels off of my '55 Nomad and put them on the Impala. 5 spoke Torque Thrusts, looked cool. In 2000, I built a '65 Biscayne 2 door with a 550hp 454, 6 speed. I used Rally Wheels and caps. Real Hot Rods have 3 pedals.
Perfect car. Classic, unassuming and fast as hell.
I had a 1966 Chevy Caprice, 3 speed on column, full seat, black on black. Only problem was the heavy car with no special equipment with a factory 327/275 horse. I still miss that car and bought it in 1969. But that red SS looks fantastic and runs as it looks.
Ain't nothing better than old school muscle!!!!!
Quick Look under the hood in beginning revealed the secret of the sleeper. Supercharged, injected, explains great performance coming out of the hole. This Beast has all the right numbers. I'm sure the gearbox is a Turbo-400. Best Trans ever, just a bit heavy. What a great display of Old school put together just right. Great Build!!!
Absolutely right about the Turbo 400. After that, Chevy lost their minds
My brother had a black 65 SS 4 speed with a 327 that thing ran 105 @ 13.85 not bad for a boat.
always amazed how popular American cars are in Netherlands and Nordic countries. must look huge on the roads. good looking Imp, but thinking its geared too high cause of the lazy launches
Hes not stalling it, you can see it just blos tires off, he hits it at 50 60 it gets spin. I'd say 700 hp easy. Nasty sleeper.
Side by side with the other cars in the vid, I'm guessing the big Imp will throw down a 1.5ish to maybe 1.6ish 60 foot times.
That is Not lazy my friend! Sure the launch could be improved on but doing so at this level of performance starts to really take away from the overall streetability of any car.
***Chevy---Best car made! '65 Impala---Best Chevy ever!***Period!***
67 is better
@@thunderbird4778 nope
65s are awesome my dad had a 65 ss 327 4 speed before I was born oh well. I love the 61 bubble top too!
@@Notcminecraft '68
@@musclebone7875 thats the worst looking 60s impala according to me. The 65 is the best looking one to me
Looks bad ass with the WW tires and black rims.
I am glad I still have my 65 Impala SS. The sad part is how different body shops wants to overcharged me $25,000 just to do body work and paint job when my car is rust free and all it need is a few body work and a paint job. Even some body shop wants to do a frame off restoration when I don't need it because I bought the car with sand blasted and coated frame. It's sads how these people just want to make money out of your classic car.
Yeah with classic cars it’s best to do work your self or someone you know won’t rip you off
@@karen_boomer8603 you nailed it!
@@karen_boomer8603 that pretty much goes for all types of automotive work
My Mom had a 1965 impala 327 sky blue with buckets and the floor shift, I loved that car she did not know what she had. I came back from my first year of college she had traded it for a 1970 4 door Caprice. I wanted that car.
The old Chevy Impala has the old school engine idle and the raw rumble without the additives. Love how it can hang with the Hell Cat and Red Eye. And won some!! Thanks for sharing.
I too once owned a 65 ss but let it go sure wish i had it back now,ended up with a 69 chevelle ss 396 ,still wish i had never let that 65 impala ss go.😣
1965, That girl has the most awesomest body lines. Long live the full size!
My uncle has an 85 K10 twin turbo ran 7s-8s. Was beyond fast and loud as hell.
Dean Is Creaming Himself Rn
When I was a kid , a friend of mine’s dad had a 65 impala SS396! Red with white interior, it was a beautiful car and has always been my favorite of all time!
Rode in the back of one, never been in a ride w that kind of power since
Can't really tell which is ahead by the time they're halfway down the track.🤷
That ss is a beast !
In 1965 that Impala was the finest looking style ever.
That and the '65 Corvair. Truly classic styling lines that have survived for over 50 years.
Gottta love those bullet tail lights!
My first car was a 1966 Impala SS 396. This video brings back memories.
Back in 1965 I had a 63 Impala 283 two barrel powerglide! Put a four barrel, and a 4.56 posi, and it ran pretty decent for what it was!! It really was a smooth riding car!
Brings back memories...My Dad had a 63 Impala 327 4 barrel and a 67 Merc Cougar 289 4 barrel at the same time when i was growing up....At 16 i bought the Cougar from him for $1k...Those were the days...
fastest car id ever rode in was a 65 ss my friend had just put an engine he and his dad built ,we were 16 and he was in a hurry to take it for a run so he installed a duel "rain gutter downspout " exhaust and hillbilly as f we took it out and the telephone poles were flashing by so fast it was a blur -probably got it to 140
That's hell of slow turbo all the way now day's 😂🤣😔🙄🤔😁😤😤🤧
Beautiful Impala. It won before the race even started.
Im supposed to believe a Paxton supechaged ,327_350 Impala can beat a Hellcat ? But I like the white walls .
Should show us the finish line, and then after the racing, give the final tally for all the cars...
An old man like myself, would side with the SS Impala all the way, against those new toys!
I had a 65 with a 283 power pack heads bored out .030 dual s.s. exhaust with hush thrush turbo mufflers and headers, that car would move and that Chevy engine sound tops it off, oh yeah it had a power glide transmission, it was fast.
65 Impala SS All Day Everyday, Fuck The Dodge Challenger Hellcat,
Deans ride never fails.
Deans was a 67 impala 4 door
@@reymarquez4645 ya I know I posted that comment before I knew the real year, I had heard it from a lot of people so I commented without confirming, my bad 😂
Dean ride still pretty. I love my 65.
Yeah 60s Impalas Will Beat These Today's New Muscle Car's Now,
Even if the Impala was not a sleeper I would choose it over the Hellcat, it's a no-brainer.
4.400 lbs, and smokin all these 75-k 707 h.p. hellcats, slowpars! LOVIN IT! MOPAR NO CAR,, MY ASS!
Well those Dodges are pretty fat too. I think they go 4,500lbs if I recall. You have enough money, anything can go fast.
I'm not a huge challenger fan but I promise you that impala is nowhere near 4400 pounds! My guess is around 3750, but maybe just maybe a max 4050lbs
những chiếc xe huyền thoại rất đẹp ,cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ
Fkg Groovy 😎👍
Thx for sharing
That was awesome!!!!!!!!!
Ditch the gigantic white walls
The Chevy Impala was a good car because my Dad had one it was beast!
I had in highschool a 1967 Chevelle with a 283 2 barrel :( took it out and got a SS396 turbo 400 out of a 1967 Impala that was getting a 6 straight :) i became one of the coolest kids in Yuma highschool circa 1970s class of 78 . We lived the fast times at ridgemont high in real life :)
The amazing thing is the hell cat is probably stock thats the truly amazing thing
impala is a bad ass car jack!!
Where are the times. Who cares. Nobody knows who took who. We can’t see who won. Video sucks. And the track sucks with No times. Waste of time. Nice Chevy tho.
You must be fun at parties
You're supposed to still be spinning your wheels when you leave the burnout box, otherwise you launch with wet tires.
Yeah, can see the wet tracks up to the launch, but somehow the Impala still hooked...
@@1pigpen7 Looked like it spun well past the tree to me. Dude didn't know how to do a burnout at all.
@4:00 that's the slowest reaction time that I've ever seen, ever!! OMG!
I had a '56 Belair and a '65 Impala.........dropped a 428 HO into the older car. Good times.
My 1st car was a 1965 SS Impala 283. I got it in 1968 I was 16 at the time.
Love the 65 Impala. When I was 15 dad got a new 65 gold Impala. What was funny it had a 283 insignia on the left fender and 327 insignia on the right😂😂😂 It actually only had a 283. Great memories learning to drive with it.
I had a brand new 1967 Impala SS 396. The sticker price was $3,978. The only cars that gave it a run were a Chevelle or a Vette. I wish I had been smart enough to keep it, but to prove my stupidity, I kept it until 1973 and traded it fie a Hatchback Vega GT. It embarrasses me to admit it. The engine in that POS melted with the outside temp of -14 degrees F on NewYear’s eve six moths later. The engine was replaced, and I traded it for a Pontiac Grand Prix. Beautiful metallic blue with a white vinyl top and white interior, but it was no SS 396.
I've got a 1959 GMC 292 six cylinder Pickup & a 1959 Impala 327 V8...I was born in 1959 so they are keepers
Without seeing them cross the line, how do we know who won?
I think this video is a bunch of BS. If you notice the Impala is not stock by far. And the other cars are pretty much stock motor with a stock transmission. Let's say you have that same exact race with that Impala being bone stock from General Motors it would be a different story. People get so wrapped up in appearance that they don't look at the whole picture. As far as I'm concerned that is not a 1965 Impala Super Sport. That is nothing more than a 1965 Impala Frankenstein.
65 impala with a forced induction 400 sbc. I guess the driver states put that in your pipe and smoke it!
@TM26 Get over it.
That impala would be really tough with a pair of turbo and Holley Efi.
Could u put the trucks engine or the cats in the chevy?
I think this one had the big dog engine in it!
I'm speachless😢BEAUTIFUL!!! A,,Classic done the right way. No flakes, No 13 inch wheels, no rodeo 🐂 Hoping up and Down.
Is it possible,,, to do a closer interview of the car's owner/builder
And closer look,at the car?🙏
Next time I see this car at an event I'll try to get some more in depth content!
Agreed
Your done right is the next guy’s done wrong, I love all Impala’s Hot Rods, Lowriders and all Original.
That impala is a Monster. Good job to all involved on that car .👍
Most of these other cars weight way more than the Impala, which stock is under 3,500 pounds.
Nice graphics! Which game is it?
Tha Heartbeat of America!!!🗣🗣🗣
old school rules forever
Impalas we’re great cars off the tracks too. Nice smooth ride. No squeaks and rattles like other sports cars.
now if you don't love that....well.....
Dude, they're all sleeping at the tree, wtf?!?
You can improve this video by showing the clock the run time and a camera at the end of the race. Most of the races it was difficult to see who won.
So cool with the blower!
I had a 1965 Impala with the L78 396ci, 425hp, 4 speed, black/black, that I bought off a dealer's floor (after I talked my dad into co-signing and convincing my wife how sole crushing driving around in a Chevy Vega would be). It would have been a real sleeper except for the raised flags badges. Unfortunately, the 425hp was very tough on a family car chassis and other components like transmissions and rear ends. Or maybe it was me that was too rough?
Many moons ago I owned a '65 SS Impala. If I had I kept it my powertrain upgrades were nearly identical to this one. I had designs to run an ATI Procharger like this one but on a 383 Chevy rather than 400. While I owned it, I swapped out the Powerglide trans for a TH350, bolted on Vette "fuelie" heads to the 327, added a Performer RPM intake, Holly Double Pumper, Mallory ignition, Hooker headers and Flowmasters dumped at the rear axle, rebuilt the suspension and dropped it by 2 inches. It wasn't a strip monster but a fantastic road car and a hell of a lot of fun. I miss that car every day… but I still have some fun toys.
What happened with ur impala
Im planning getting one soon
@@fernandovillegas7722 Sold it 20 years ago to buy something more practical due to a job that required a substantial commute. Adulting sux sometimes.
Remember when vortec was the go to centrifugal 'charger? I know they are still around but Procharger really stepped up their game about 15 years ago and kinda took over as far as centrifugal's go.
Nowdays it seems the biggest worry about building a boosted anything is the decision to go turbo or centrifugal? Does one want to step up to a more complex twin turbo setup or fight with belt issues on a big single Procharger?
What a connundrum... LoL
Nice Impala, I hate to say it but it doesn't look like it tracks straight. Seems like the frame could be bent or weak floors, etc. These cars rot terribly, although so cool. The old school wheels make it...Wish it was mine...
I love the Hellcat and all those but I LOVE The old classic cars forever!
Absolute beauty! Nicely restored close to original with the whitewalls and steel wheels. And there’s nothing like a cast iron big block!!
People kill me thinking stock vehicles shouldn’t be losing to built hot rods.....🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
My first car was a used "65 Impala SS 327. Tan with black bucket interior. Great car, but as a kid I wanted more and sold it for a new '71 Chevelle SS 396. First year of the lower compression engines. The Impala was the better vehicle. Should have taken my money and tricked out the Impala
HELLCAT?..More Like a MELLOW Cat!🐈
You've got to realize that Impala is a TANK compared to those Chrysler TIN CANS...
I know that none of these (from any era) are "stock"; but it is fun watching 60 year old iron with WHITE WALL TIRES (!) hand modern plastic it's lunch. ;-p
Sweet... I'll get some pics on my phone tomorrow of my 5 ss it's getting a heart transplant any second . Small block needs a lung transplant lol you know 😢 but the new 7.4 litter with the 6:71 should do it justice. Rock on b body
I have 65-66-67-68-and looking to buy 69 all then super sport...im not a pro they was my late fathers and he left them ready to drive to hell and back to pick him up .....beautiful cars ....nothing like an impala ss
That Impala has the perfect stance. It's the car you take in an open highway. It's gorgeous. I admire these people for loving the classics. I'm sure parts are harder to get to maintain them overseas. Big respects to everyone of them.
My dream car is a 1965 Chevy Impala, Misty Blue Metallic two door. I even have a model of it on my desk!¡! They're the best 💙💙💙 love the sound of it
Do you know what most people want to see at a 1/4 mile race?
Any guesses?
A: The race times and top speed. 0-60 would be nice, too.
Did I miss it? I checked the description and didn't see it there either. That's what drag racing is all about for me, not just about who crossed the line first.
And the new progressive greenies want to get rid of all the awesome gas powered dragging classics with their humming EV’s! What a joke! Who cares how fast the EV’s are getting! Who would go to a EV drag race without the sound of a thousand horse powered “427 classic” doing burnouts and then covering your ears when the lights turned green! NO ONE!
My 1967 impala ss 427 l88 second design 4spd rag top would for and for sure smokes the hell outa new muscle , it’s my fair weather lady and right now is slaying time , blk on blk ,
One of my favorite cars ever. If I were offered the choice between a white 2-door 66 Caprice with blue interior or a Ferrari, I’d have to think long and hard. (Probably go with the Caprice).
I was Lucky to be born in the early 60's,father drove Impalas,mother drove Novas&Chevelles....I started with LeMans
i love that IMPALA!...beautiful piece of Americana!...that car makes me drool! lol...
My brother bought a new '65 Chevy Impala 396 4-speed. It was a cool car. Obviously, this one is built up.
