We were tipped off to this totally awesome 1965 Chevy Impala stock car by BangShift.com forum member Blazerteam (who lives in Norway!) and immediately fell in lust with this cruddy hulk of a former NASCAR racer. Located in Georgia, the car supposedly saw racing action back in 1965 and 1966. The seller claims that it was run at “all the major NASCAR tracks.”
Details are a bit light, but the photos really seem to show a car that was raced and put away in a barn, not to see the light of day for 30 years. Going back to the seller’s ad, he claims that the car was run with a 409 engine, which is certainly cool all in itself.
Rolling on huge meats, packing a rudimentary roll cage, window tabs, tape wrapped steering wheel, and simply perfect hand lettering, hopefully the buyer takes it back to the original shape it was in when the car raced.
According to some online research, the car’s driver Roy Mayne finished 4th at Darlington in 1965. Did he do it in this car?
