1965 Chevrolet Impala 409-340 HP Station Wagon

• One of 82 built and the last year for the 409 engine.
• Very rare, unrestored survivor with massive documentation.
• Factory original, #s matching, born-with drivetrain.
• Same family-owned vehicle for 59 years.
• Arguably the most documented factory 409 wagon in existence.
• Five (5) original build sheets found in various locations between April 21, 2025 and May 14, 2025.
• Original Protect-O-Plate and Protection Plan booklet, owners manual, accessory booklet, AM-FM radio pocket guide with operating instructions, insurance book with records and registrations ending in 1983.
• The original owner was Raymond Plociniak who owned and operated an auto repair shop and fueling station in Moscow, PA. He purchased the wagon new at “Bus Kelly Chevrolet”, also in Moscow, PA on February 13, 1965.
• After Raymond passed away in June 1982, the wagon was stored for nearly 42 years in the family barn.

• The carburetor, distributor, alternator, A/C compressor, water pump, Harrison radiator, clutch fan, brake booster, power steering assembly, etc., are all original components that were on this car when it was new. Replacement items include the fuel pump, master cylinder, gas tank, battery, brakes and rubber lines, rebuilt original carburetor and new exhaust.
• There are some moderate rust issues appearing in the typical areas: extreme lower front fenders, small pimples at the rear wheel openings and no shortage of surface scaling where the paint has deteriorated. The worst I have found is the center frame rails that were reinforced decades ago. Amazingly, all the floor pans and lower rocker panels appear to be very solid including the rear storage compartment floor (see photos).
• The wagon has been driven approximately 300 miles since being woken from its long nap with no concerning issues.
