My first car was a 65 SS L79 car. Bought it in 1970 from the original owner. Wish I had that one back. Currently, just bought an original SS, with the original 300 hp and 4 speed. Danube Blue. Needs paint badly but drives great and is very tight. That's my project for the next few months.

Thanks. I`m still undecided on the color. If I go back to a 327 it wont be the L79 version. Cant run 11:1 on the junk gas we got out here in california and I dont want that engine anyway. I want something that runs good, runs on the cheap stuff and is reliable. I wouldnt go with the ZZ383 though, my 427 makes more power than that engine and a performance engine isnt what I`m looking for anyway. Dont plan to race it, just drive it.
Make a thread about your 65, would love to check it out.
