Wow! That really is a great car! I've always been a fan of 327-300 4-SPD cars. Although 409's were considered top dog, many people still didn't like them and often wanted the 327-300HP motors in their cars instead. I grew up around many of these cars, but mostly '62-63's. In fact, my mother had a factory Black '65 Impala Wagon that was a factory 327-300 3-SPD column shift car.

----I cant tell you guys how many of my buddies back in the day took 327/300s and stuck a 350hp or 365hp cam in them along with an aluminum manifold and Holley. Those cars were everywhere around Medina, Ohio back then and would almost always surprize the uninitiated!.....Bill S

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bajones</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I located and spoke to the original owner (he lives near me).... I have the original build sheet (which I found stuck in the springs in the passenger bucket seat), owner's manual, warranty book with protect-o-plate, and a paper tag on the back of the front carpet (dated 1/7/65). No window sticker or sales invoice, unfortunately. </div></div>

That's great!!!

Yeah, Welcome. Sweet '65! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

I have a friend here in town who still has his Red/Black gut SS 4 speed. Only difference from yours is the engine. His was a base 396. Although the original engine is long gone, the current engine is an LS-6 that he bought across the counter at Fred Gibb. (He still has the sales slip for that engine, ...... signed by "Bob". Most likely Bob Lionberger.)

I've been hounding him for the past few years to get it back on the road but he tells me, "No one wants to see those big old cars." What? Really? Hmmmmm. I'm sending him a link to this page! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Very nice car. My best friend received a 65 "409" 4-speed convert as a high school graduation gift in 65. It was blue with a white top. I got a hunting dog. Just didn't seem fair.

Yes, they are great cars. Good drivers, too (except when they try to drive past gas stations). I think it's impossible to fill one up while it's running.
