[427425]

Thanks for all the kind words guys, and to you Mike for the post. The car was delivered to Success Motors in Tahlequah, OK in late July 1965. Car took so long to come in, the man that ordered it gave up and took a 65 442 instead.
Story should read the biggest 65 Chevelle engine was a 327/300, and they couldn't keep up with GTO's etc., so later in the model year they came up with the approval to put the L79 Corvette motor in as the top option.

In 65, my buddy's older brother had a 65 Chevelle 300 deluxe sedan with the l79, digger gears and no radio. I always wanted to get one of these things, and finally had to settle for the SS and did a frame off to get it the way I wanted it.
