1964 Chevelle 2 dr.or 4dr. wagon......

[W J]

Wouldn't that be a sweet little combo.....WJ

My first run down the 1/4 mile was behind the wheel of a 64 chevelle 2 dr wagon 327 and it probably won't be a big surprise to most that it was a 4 speed. 1971 or 72 at lebanon valley. The neighbor and friend that started me going to the drags when i was 13 or 14 had 2 of those 2 dr wagons,both 64's.

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.

Travis,
I have a 65 2 dr wagon black w/red int. 300 w/a 300/327 glide (supposedly legit.) I also have a 65 Chevelle Brochure that shows both the 300 and 300 deluxe as available as a 2 dr. wagon. I think the only difference was carpet, fabric seats and a different outer side molding..
my 2 cents..

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?

not very damn many!
they only made 5 or 600 65 2dr wagons total.
around 1500 in 64...
all 300's or 300 deluxes, no malibus that I'VE ever hear of....
always wanted one...
i ain't dead yet, i may STILL snag one

I bought my 1965 300 Deluxe 2dr wagon in early 1973 for $150.00 and he would have thrown in two more cars for $300 bucks. 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.

Bimbo, there are many on here who would love to own that car......me being one of them. Best wishes. WJ

BTW, does anyone here know of a '65 327/350hp 2 OR 4dr.wagon that is currently being NHRA campaigned in stock OR superstock? Thanks. WJ

This is a little out of the way,but I have a '68 Chevelle 300 deluxe 2 door hardtop. Most of these were post cars, but a few hardtops were built.I built it into a stocker a few years ago. A picture of it is in the pages that Tony Janes put up from the Finals at Pomona last week. He and I were next to each other at the front of the lanes.The red Chevelle wagon is ours,too. There's still some 64-65 Chevelle 300 and Malibu wagons and hardtops in Stock and Super Stock.Neat to see!! The 327/350 is pretty rare, and it's a 4 speed only combination.

I haven`t seen it for a couple of years now, but Washington state racer Pat Brooks owns 2 64 Chevelle 2 dr station Wagons, one is a 283 M & N/SA racer. There should be a pic or 2 of it on Auto Imagery, I would imagine. He has owned these wagons for quite a few years, I recall when they were both street cars, the vanity plates read "HIS2dr" & HER2dr."
