Probably because Chevrolet emasculated the 409, by limiting it to a single 4 BBL carb, before replacing the whole W series with the Mark IV.
It had great beginnings as what many feel was Chevrolet's first real muscle car - the 1961 409 Impala Super Sport. From there it became Chevy's first competitive NASCAR engine and drag strip terror - the Z11 427. It was imortalized by the Beach Boys' "409" song.
And once again . . . rare does not automatically mean valuable. Such is the case for the 1965 409 Chevrolet Full Size cars.
