That's not a rumor.
A total of 201 1965 Chevelles were assembled with the RPO Z-16 package,which among other things included the L-37 396/375HP hydraulic lifter engine.
A total of 221 L-37 396/375 engines were produced from Tonawanda,with 20 of them being available for OTC service.The remaining went into the so optioned Chevelles.
These are all facts which have been religiously documented through Chevrolet and Tonawanda records.
The fact that at least one of those was a convertible has yet to be substantially proven.
