I wasn't able to attend this year's show much to my disappointment, my interest lies with the early muscle cars so I was very excited about the 409 display. Tonight is the first time that I have had a chance to look at the photos from the show. Having studied the photos and remembering back that these cars had to be correct factory built 409 cars I can not help but question the 65 Impala that is shown with the group. A 65 Impala with a 425 hp engine and a/c??? Come on, Chevrolet never offered a/c with a solid lifter 409 motor and only the 340 and 400 horse engines were offered in 65. I see that the car is displayed with some paperwork which I'm not able make out but I have never seen any factory documentation that would support this equipment.
