Looks original. Toning on circulated coins has a more limited pellet of colors.
Would a 1965 Chevy Impala in this condition have this question asked about it? Probably not. Someone would think it had been in a demolition derby.

Looks like San Francisco. In that condition, worth 4 Quarters, 10 Dimes, 20 Nickels...
Wouldn't that be the Widow Maker?
