1965 Chevrolet Chevelle

Vehicle Overview

I bought it at Fasenmyer Chevrolet, Raytown, Missouri after returning home from Vietnam in September, 1969 for $1800.00 cash. I saved it while in Vietnam using the U.S. Army savings program. I enter it here posthumously due to it being stolen from in front of my parent's house, stripped of parts, & burned up in the nearby woods adjacent to the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex property (Chiefs & Royals) in 1971. 300 h.p. 327 c.i., 4 barrel carb., complete engine overhaul in 1970 with 3/4 racing cam added, Muncie 4-speed trans., Hurst shifter handle, factory dual exhaust, Fenton wheels, Firestone Wide Ovals on front, Mickey Thompsons on rear, factory stock shocks on front, air shocks with double extensions on rear, rubber spacers in rear coil springs, factory Artesian Turquoise paint, white vinyl interior with Artesian Turquoise dashboard & carpet, AM radio.
