The transmission in the car is not a 1965 M22.  Its a 1965 M20 or M21.

There were VERY limited numbers of M22s in 1965.

Probably an option with the 396/375 hp engine...  (In the Impala/BelAir/Biscayne line.   I DO remember 396 engines with 4 speeds being available in the '65 Impala...)

You are correct Gary.  Full size (L78 only) and Corvette where the only vehicles that COULD get an M22 in 1965. Production was very low, 57 total units. Source, Alan Colvin.

There are those who think M22s were only available in 65 Corvettes.

There are none known to exist in 65 full size. No full size cars have been verified as original M22 cars. Not saying they were never produced, but none are known to exist today.

Jerry has not looked at the car.

Anyone interested should look the car over very closely.

Bob Harris at Camaro specialties 716-652-7086 has a beautiful original 1968 Z28 for sale. The car is extremely clean (floors and trunk are perfect”, original turquoise car with black stripes, RS, original black deluxe interior, 456 gears, original trans,  I am not sure if the engine is original.  If I was not working on one already, I would be buying it!
