'65 #s L79 Malibu SS
 

Rare car with the original engine, allegedly. Stamp and broach marks look good to me, with the crazy partial VIN character spacing that seems typical of the '65-'66 cars.

----Ray Skillman has a Chevy dealer in Indiana. Goes to a lot of auctions and buys and sells a bunch of vintage stuff. He restores nothing as far as I know. You would think someone could have wiped the dust off though. Am I wrong thinking that the trunks on 65 Chevelle's were not splatter painted?......Bill S

WRONG is a STRONG word ( insert Rhyme here )

Incorrect is a politically correct sir :)
