Perfect!

May 6th build date. 1-5-6

Red R

4 speed M20

I have to run and check to make sure 919 is black interior but like you say, it appears it was. Your car was built 2 weeks after mine.

that's the first PROVEN factory 4 speed 65 Sport Deluxe I've ever seen.

I got interested in them when I bought my first Sport Deluxe at 16 in 1974.

I wonder if GM would tell you how many 4 speed SD's were made if you got the documents for it?

I am betting less than 25.

My cousin in Sackville had a 65 SD 283 4 speed..(Black red guts)  I drove it....   I'll try to get pictures

So that's a Lethbridge car... Hmmm. There is a site member here who is from Lethbridge and he has a 65 Sport Deluxe, although I don't think he's logged in for a while. At least, if he has, I haven't seen him posting here. I think his name is Mike. He has a pretty nice 65 SD project car.

That really is cool what you have. I knew sooner or later I'd come across one that is a factory 4 speed but it took almost 40 years! I've likely seen in person or in ads about 20 SD cars ever and all automatics until now.

Try TinMan in BC for pedals. I got a set from him for my nephew's 65 Sport Deluxe a year or so ago. He may have more. If not, let me know. I think I can likely find a set if I ask around. The 4 speed is the same as any other Chevy from 64 to 74 (with a couple of minor variations) as long as it's a Muncie (they are all aluminum case, not cast iron like a Saginaw)

Thanks a million Carl. If you can start your quest for some pedals that would be great!! sounds like the gear box wont be too hard to find. The hard part with such limited numbers will be finding a STD console! thank goodness I am not building an original car! A 4 gear would be sweet in this beast!!

Yes, I will poke around for pedals. I know my neighbour did have a set last year and I have to run over to his place sine day soon to pay him for some sockets I pulled out of a wrecked Beaumont he has.

They will have come from a 66 Nova. I am going to check but I am pretty sure it's 62-66 that all fit. I know 67 is different.
