The 1965 Chevelle 300 station wagon only came as a 2dr model while the 300 Deluxe and Malibu were 4dr models. I know as I owned one of the '65 2dr wagons in the early 70's. Wish I still had it today as they are extremely rare with only 1668 units built.

In '64, the 327 250 hp.had the #520 or the 896 heads, and the Rochester 4GC with the small intake manifold. The 300 horse 327 had the same short block, cam, and had #461 heads and the 459 intake with the AFB. The carb looks almost identical to the rear carb on a 409.In '65, the 327 250 was equipped with the #461 heads. It had the same smll intake, and a 4GC with a Powerglide, and a WCFB if a stick.The 300/327 had the 459 intake and the AFB.The L-79 327/350 engine came out then, and was an option in the Chevelle and the Nova. It would have been possible to order out a '65 2 door 300 series wagon with the 327/350 engine and a 4 speed. How many of those do you think were made?

It came with rumber floors, tinted windows, A/C, and a electric powered rear tailgate window which still works. I'm not real good at figuring out class rules or weights but I ran if in a few D4 events in the mid 80's in O/S with an wide ratio Muncie. It's still a fun ride with a glide at locat bracket events but nothing like it was banging the gears. Of coarse this was back in time when there were more stick cars than automatics.
