Re: 1965 Z16 Chevelle production dates?

On a similar note, isn't Feb. '65 the same time Mark 1V production was replacing 409s in full size units? ~ Pete

Pete,
The L35 (396/325hp), M40 (Turbo 400) and the Z18 (Caprice Custom Sedan option) all entered production in February 1965. Colvin's book mentions February 15th as the day the 396's went in production.
The option list I have also shows totals for the L78's (396/425hp) but doesn't state when it went into production. I don't see a listing for the L37 that the Z16's had. I would assume all 396's started about the same time.
