Re: 1965 Impala SS Convertible L78 396/425 Production?
What's the dealership name in Glendale that it came from? Allen Gwynn maybe?

1965 Impala SS Convertible L78 396/425 Production?

Way cool car, love to see/hear more of it! I was going to ask about Allen Gwynn too, note the plate frame on eBay at this link... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glendale-Califor...e-/121061452682 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete -  -

Re: 1965 Impala SS Convertible L78 396/425 Production?
Anyone ever heard of a 1965 L-78 Impala wagon? The above ad states that either motor was available in any Impala model.
I realize that the L-78 found its way into 4 doors, but it does bring up the question about a wagon being built with the big L-78 motor.

Re: 1965 Impala SS Convertible L78 396/425 Production?
I don't think I've ever heard of one in a wagon, but it certainly could have been ordered in one. The ad is misleading because that engine was available in any full size model.

In an email I received from the widow of the original owner she says they bought it new at Allen Gwynn. However, the Protection Plan booklet says Bob Wondries Chevrolet (also in Glendale). Did they change ownership around that time?

Ha! The mechanic liberated them from the burden of the L78 engine! Probably wound up in his play car or he sold it.

Seems a common story unfortunately.
