Did Chevrolet build any 1965 396/425hp Impalas?
 
I was at a Hooters Cruise Night last night and I saw a 1965 Impala SS 396 for sale. It said he had the build sheet showing it was an original 396/425 hp car. Were any of these ever built?

I think they built 1800 of 'em? In all full-size models, for the most part.

That dude in GA with all the cars (whose name escapes me) had a Biscayne 4-door with that engine.

Well, the car had an automatic in it so I don't know if it was a 325hp or 425 hp car originally. He was asking $7500 so if it was a real 425 car, I thought it would be worth more. The build date was 12A, is this too early for a 396 car? I read that the 396 wasn't available until Feb.

The trim tag had 65-16637 which shows it as an Impala SS with a V8. The TH400 leads me to believe it was a 396/325 hp car though.

65 impala 396 / 425hp were all manual trans engine codes should be IA-IC-IE or IF impala with an 396 with auto/trans were 325 /hp
not to say that some one did not convert it but no factory
396/425 auto/trans

The 396 did not come out until Feb 15, 1965. Before that you had to live with a 409! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]
