I have never actually seen a factory 425hp '65 in all the years of going to shows, etc. Of the 1,838 built, I wonder how many actually survived? Wonder if anyone campaigned one of these cars in NHRA stock eliminator back in the day? For some reason I have a fascination with 61-69 hi-po full size Chevys.

Pete Russell, of Elkhart Indiana, raced a black 425 horse 65 Biscayne two door post back when it was new. Along with Osceola Dragway, he also ran NHRA and AHRA tracks around the area. Far as I know, he still lives in the Elkhart area. Car of course is ancient history.
