Does anyone have any more information on this car? It is mentioned in Alan Colvin's 1965-69 book as engine suffix "IY" which is Special High Perf COPO. This is supposed to be the 396-425HP engine and not the hydraulic camshaft version that came in the standard Z-16 chevelle. Supposedly this engine came in one 65 Chevelle 2 Dr sedan and Alan has stated that the car and engine have been recovered separately with the history and original selling dealer known. Jim Mattison even made mention of an aluminum bodied 65 Chevelle in his Car Review interview several years ago. Could this be the same car? These two well respected men in the hobby can't be wrong about this.
