.........Lastly, it is correct that there is also a 300 series 2-dr sedan, 396/425, M-22 (yes, a 65 M-22), 4.88 posi, boxed frame, Z16 suspension, Black with red guts. Still alive and well with the fellow who bought it way back in about 1968. He has the window sticker too !!!!!

Is this it? I never thought it was real, just a nice creation...

So the PST car is genuine and built w/ the '65 L78/425 not the L37?.
Deadly!!!

The one ragtop production is an old number I remember from at least 25 years ago...probably longer?.

The black 300 Deluxe in the pics above is gorgeous, but not the real car. The real one is a base 300 model, and is unrestored, original paint.

I would like to hear more about this car as well. I didn't think a car like this even existed in 65. I thought the only rides in 65 you could get the L-78 in was the Vette, Impala and Biscayne?.
