Anyone ever heard of a 1965 L-78 Impala wagon? The above ad states that either motor was available in any Impala model.

I realize that the L-78 found its way into 4 doors, but it does bring up the question about a wagon being built with the big L-78 motor.

I don't think I've ever heard of one in a wagon, but it certainly could have been ordered in one. The ad is misleading because that engine was available in any full size model.

i'm sure there where a few 425horse wagons in 65..too cool not too....race teams used a bunch of 66 427 wagons as team cars...and several have rock clad documentation too

Ha! The mechanic liberated them from the burden of the L78 engine! Probably wound up in his play car or he sold it.

Seems a common story unfortunately.

Think of all the police L78s that went missing from the police maintenance shops!
