Wow! That really is a great car! I've always been a fan of 327-300 4-SPD cars. Although 409's were considered top dog, many people still didn't like them and often wanted the 327-300HP motors in their cars instead. I grew up around many of these cars, but mostly '62-63's. In fact, my mother had a factory Black '65 Impala Wagon that was a factory 327-300 3-SPD column shift car.

----I cant tell you guys how many of my buddies back in the day took 327/300s and stuck a 350hp or 365hp cam in them along with an aluminum manifold and Holley. Those cars were everywhere around Medina, Ohio back then and would almost always surprize the uninitiated!.....Bill S

I have the original build sheet (which I found stuck in the springs in the passenger bucket seat), owner's manual, warranty book with protect-o-plate, and a paper tag on the back of the front carpet (dated 1/7/65). No window sticker or sales invoice, unfortunately. </div></div>

That's great!!!

Yeah, Welcome. Sweet '65! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

I have a friend here in town who still has his Red/Black gut SS 4 speed. Only difference from yours is the engine. His was a base 396. Although the original engine is long gone, the current engine is an LS-6 that he bought across the counter at Fred Gibb. (He still has the sales slip for that engine, ...... signed by &quot;Bob&quot;. Most likely Bob Lionberger.)

I've been hounding him for the past few years to get it back on the road but he tells me, &quot;No one wants to see those big old cars.&quot; What? Really? Hmmmmm. I'm sending him a link to this page! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Very nice car. My best friend received a 65 &quot;409&quot; 4-speed convert as a high school graduation gift in 65. It was blue with a white top. I got a hunting dog. Just didn't seem fair.

Yes, they are great cars. Good drivers, too (except when they try to drive past gas stations). I think it's impossible to fill one up while it's running.
