Interesting 396 on eBay (color & M22)

[Wayne M.]

1965 BB # 15564 shows St.Louis trim tag code "900JJ", which seller claims is one of five in this color, per Chev documentation (?). Looking in my 1965 Dupont color chip sheets, I see code "J" is Chevrolet 'Cypress Green', which appears almost identical to Glenn Green.

As a bonus, this car is said to have an M22. VIN points to an April 20th car which is only days after the first batch of M22's were assembled at Muncie IN (April 15-19).

Any opinions ? Don't spend too much effort on the obviously wrong items under the hood .

Hi Wayne At first glance it looks a little familiar ! but i could use the alternatot bracket . they could use a pick of the trans stamps and catsing numbers if they are going to claim an M 22 car, wouldnt you think...Don.

I didn't see descriptive text claiming the car to be a factory original M22 build vehicle... All I see is a statement to the effect that it has an M22 tranny in it.

It is an interesting car. Relatively close to me (MN), but way up north.
