1965 New Cars and NHRA Classes

The 1965 Chevelle 4-Door Station Wagons (#3420 lbs.) started to become popular
at the drag strips in 1968, when the NHRA re-set the class breaks.

I believe the 327/300 HP 'automatic' cars fell nicely into (11.00 - 11.49 Wt/Hp) 1968.

1968.......G/SA
1969........H/SA
1970........ I/SA
1971.........I/SA

Then the later NHRA Horsepower Changes

* 283/220........235 HP.......SS/PA
* 327/250........265 HP.......SS/NA
* 327/300........280 HP.......SS/MA
