Default Re: 65 Biscayne 409/400 4 speed

My kinda car and quite rare with only 6 months of production of 1965 409's and also the ONLY year that combined the 409 with the excellent 12-Bolt rear axle! It's a shame that the dual quads were gone from the option sheet but 409/400 HP 1x4BBL engines DID still come with the radical Z-11 solid lifter camshaft that had .325 duration/.555 lift. That's a thumpin' camshaft! I've always loved that particular single thin strip of brightwork on top of the rear quarter panel body line that was exclusive to the Biscaynes that year. Any photos of the rare in-dash, high RPM tachometer? Great car and thanks for showing.
