I had a hardtop 1965 SS 396/350HP with Saginaw 4 speed from 1970 to 1974. White with a black leatherette interior. The wife drove it and I drove my 1969 SS 396/375HP Camaro. Gas was cheaper then! The ‘65 and ‘66 were very similar with 3 taillights per side on ‘65 and a solid lens on ‘66. Heavy car but had a great ride. I would welcome a return of either of them for Christmas!
I owned a ‘66 Caprice with the 396/425 horse motor. Big cam, solid lifters, but the exterior looked civilian with full hub caps and whitewalls.
The big GM mills didn’t like winding tight. The 425 blew just a year after I got it.
