1965 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop 396 V8 very high standard Turquoise paintwork
Many are familiar with the incredible story of Lambrecht Chevrolet, specifically the huge 'Field of Dreams' survivor auction held there in 2013 that sold off over 500 incredibly preserved vehicles. Lambrecht Chevrolet was a small "Mom-and-Pop" dealership run by a literal Mom-and-Pop (Ray Lambrecht and his wife) and one mechanic from 1946-1996. Mr. Lambrecht was a proud American from "The Greatest Generation" and among his eccentricities was an axiom from which he never swayed – to only sell brand new cars. That meant that every trade-in, every new car that went unsold when the calendar turned over, and any new car that Mr. Lambrecht didn't feel like selling was stored out of sight, and never offered for sale. That's until 2013 when they decided to reopen the dealership to have the world bid on what was probably the largest collection of survivor-grade cars, most of which were collector-grade Chevrolets, ever assembled. That's exactly where this incredibly special 1965 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop hails from. In 2013, this '65 Impala was sold from the Lambrecht collection still on its factory M.S.O. and with only 5 original miles on the clock, after which it was then sold to the current owner with a scant 16.2 miles. After a mishap with a car cover rendered the original finish damage beyond repair, the current owner elected to professionally repaint this time capsule and upgrade a few crucial components – mostly suspension, brakes, and steering – completing the work in 2022 in time to offer the vehicle for sale with only 96 miles on the odometer. The original Code K Artesian Turquoise was faithfully refinished with basecoat/clearcoat urethane paint that shines better than it did in 1965, ostensibly giving this 'new' car a whole new lease on life. The paintwork was finished to a very high standard, darn near perfect if not for a couple of very minor imperfections – most of which could easily be remedied with a professional cut-and-buff.
