Re: 1965 Chevelle L79
I absolutely love this 65 L-79 Malibu SS.
I regret selling my 68 L-79 Malibu.

Late in the 64 model year, the 300hp 327 became available on the Chevelle. There have been occasional rumors about the existence of higher hp versions of the 327 in the 64 Chevelle, but to my knowledge there has been no substantive proof of same. EDIT: oops, I see Tory has already linked some of the many discussions on Team Chevelle about this subject.

Re: 1965 Chevelle L79
I didn't read the links to the Chevelle site, so this might be a repeat. The Chevy production records I have indicate there were 1737 300hp 327s built in the '64 Chevelle. (a few more for export) There is no production record of any L-76 produced. It was obviously "planned" though because Chevrolet's Finger Tip Facts book for '64 (which every salesman used for ordering information & specs) does the list the L-76 as available in the Chevelle. So, it's confusing but I'd go with the actual production records published by Chevy which state none were built.
