The question is in the Subject line and says it all, I suppose. :)
Many years ago (around 2003, I think) someone or some group was supposedly
working on such a mod.
Did it ever eventuate?

Wouldn't F65-F2 be roughly equivelant to the Tasman series?
See my too many mods dilutes the grids rant of a few days a go.
No, it wouldn't be.
And as I don't play online, I really have no concern about too many mods or
grid dilution.

I just read Bruce McLaren's biography and it sounds like most teams
simply shipped their F1 chassis down at the end of the european season,
maybe with a different (smaller) engine installed then flogged the now
obsolete cars to some backmarker at the end of the series.
Well that's not precicely true, Bruce made a special chassis that was
smaller because of the lower fuel requirement of the sprint race
format, but essentially the parts were interchangeable.
Some did, that's true.
Others (including Ferrari) either constructed specific chassis/engine combos
or modified existing F1 or F2 chassis to suit.

No, it wouldn't be much like 65 F2, the Tasman cars would be much
faster. The 65 F2's had 1600cc hi-rev engines afaik, but the 67/68
Tasman cars should have 2.5 litre powerplants.
Work on the 67/68 Tasman mod for GPL is still continuing afaik, I got a
mail about it not too long ago due to some cooperation work with our GPL
F2 Mod research :) So for the moment I'd say, keep your hopes up.
