Default Re: 65 409 Impala on overhaulin'

Thanks Verne....I thought you meant for US plants but just wanted to clarify. .

I expect the '62 Tonawanda numbers you noted would include engines destined for Canadian plants too?

Next time we're talking w/ Geo. Z. of GM Canada Vintage Services, we'll have to ask if there's any possibility of Canadian RPO totals from any years?

Although not correct and sometimes way off, I've always used the approx. Canadian 10% population of US as a guide when figures are known from either side of our border.

I think export numbers from Canada would be a much higher percentage than US plants too as we exported a lot of Total or Partial Knock-down vehicles as well as complete units.

Back to the original topic of the thread, there's always been a '65 Biscayne 409 car on my want list. .
And as far as Overhaulin goes, aside from the broads and the obvious love of anything cars, I'm no fan of these 'car killer' type of shows.
