Remember that story about Goldilocks and the three bears? The same seems to happen when one is hunting for a project car: Many are over-restored, and hence, too expensive, while an equal number seem to be beyond the point of financially prudent salvation. Finding one that’s “just right,” in terms of price and condition, can be a challenge, but this 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS, for sale on Hemmings.com, may be just the ride Goldilocks was looking for. The current owner claims that the 19,000 miles showing on the car are original, and from the photos provided, it would hard to dispute that claim. Yes, this Impala has a few scratches, dents and superficial rust spots, but all appear to be easily remediated, and none would prevent the car from being enjoyed as a weekend driver. If the car checks out as advertised, it may make the perfect driveable dream or serve as a solid candidate for a full restoration, depending upon the next owner’s preferences.
