I knew somebody that had this exact combo in a '65 Chevy II, 12 bolt posi, street gears and skinny tires... I don't think it was ever pointed straight, lol!

If they only could have kept them from rusting here up north. I had a 4spd. 283 SS Nova in HS. It was only 5 years old and needed two quarters due to rust!

That was around 74 or 75 and the car's sheetmetal was good. However my family had a 63 Chevy II SW that was bought used in 65 and rusted through in 69 when it got replaced.

I had a red 64 SS Nova with that exact drive train. (327/365 4 speed, 373 gear)

I once owned a 1968 Plymouth Fury III Fast Top, so I would love one with the same build specs as the '68 Hemi Dart & Cuda Super Stock package.

Or, since my '89 Olds 88 Royale sedan came from the factory with the 3.8L Buick V6 in it, it should be easy to swap in a complete T-Type or Grand National turbo setup.
