I have had all the models of the 65s but a Impala. Still have the Chevelle. 
These pictures are from 1970 of me building a new engine (327) for my 62 Impala, you will notice in picture #3 the high tech coil bracket (2 coils taped together with masking tape) as I was running a Grant Spaulding Flamethrower distributor LOL. Also in the lower left of picture #3 in-between the core support and the grill support you can see my high tech cool can (2# coffee can and copper tubbing), as always I tried hard to stay abreast of state of the art fabrication, HA
Oh yea I was a little skinnier back then!!!

Guess you weren't eating on "The Hill" back then 
LOL, actually I was, back then I could not gain weight no matter how much I ate. They use to have a festival every summer down there called Hill Days, I think the last year they had it was 1974, it ended due to a huge fireworks accident they all fell over and went horizontal across the ball field into the crowd. I was there with a couple of friends and we still talk about it.Guess you weren't eating on "The Hill" back then

I think 65 and 69 are my favorites...... for the Chevelle.....!!!
LOL those are the 2 years I didn't have, I had a 64,66,67, & a 68.
1967 is my favorite for the Chevelle.
I agree!!, although 66's are nice also. I actually like the big block hood on a 66 better than a 67.
Deb and I bought a 66 Chevelle for another project a couple of weeks ago. It's a true SS, bench seat powerglide with power steering, brakes and air. It doesn't have the original engine, it's a 69 pick up motor. Another cool thing we like is it's Artesian Turquoise, the same as our 65.
I had a 66 SS 396 4 speed with power windows car.
