Another beautiful Basil Classic... this one-family owned 1963
Chevrolet Biscayne has been handpicked and meets Joe Basil's
standards of excellence and tradition of fine automobiles since
1951. This vehicle is truly one of a kind and one of the cleanest,
most well taken care of, most original 63 Biscaynes that you will
find! Buy with confidence!!
This Biscayne is a one-family owned car that has spent its life
local to us in the Depew NY area! When new, this car was purchased
from Tunkey Chevrolet on Broadway in Depew by a mother who got the
car for her son. She purchased it for him because he was not old
enough to buy a car yet. The car sat from 1975- 1998 because the
son went into the service. In 2000, he came back and began to
modify the car! The exterior is finished in red The all-original
red cloth/ vinyl interior features a bench layout, and the seats
are nicely patterned giving it that classic look! The car has been
fitted with a GM Gen IV 454ci/ 425 horse Big Block backed by a GM
Muncie M20 4-speed! This car is a blast to drive, and it really
moves with all that power! The 454 is a GM crate motor out of a
2002 performance parts catalog! The power is put down through a GM
4:11 posi rear end with posi "O" case! Engine statistics are listed
in the catalog which can be seen in the photo gallery, but what's
most important is that it makes 425hp and 500lb ft of torque!
Original documents are included with the car such as the original
selling dealer invoice, where the car sold for a whopping $1,648!
In addition to that is the original passenger car shipping order,
broadcast copy, build sheet, parts catalog, parts list, and even 2
match boxes from the original selling dealer we found in the ash
tray! On the match boxes it states, "We will beat your best deal
or...buy you 2 steak dinners at a restaurant of your choice" ...
how cool! Where do you find a car of this age with this kind of
documentation! The exterior of this car has a mean look with
widened factory wheels giving it a more aggressive stance and is in
excellent condition especially considering the originality of the
car! Take a look at the photo gallery to see the paint, chrome-
stainless trim and bumpers, glass, lighting, and all! The interior
is impressively clean... look at the carpet, seats, door panels,
dashboard, headliner and everything else... practically as good as
new... and don't forget the fact that it's all original! This
interior makes for a nice comfortable ride and also features a GM
dash tachometer, and factory radio delete! The trunk also has its
factory finish with a mat and houses the spare tire and equipment!
Also included are 2 factory wheels for if you wanted to swap out
the custom rears! The engine bay housing the 454 is clean as can be
and looks great with stylish valve covers, proper air cleaner with
dual intakes, a GM 800 CFM carb, a GM 4 core radiator, and it
sounds great with Hooker super-comp header and a dual exhaust! In
order to give the car a nice ride, it features GM genuine parts
such as heavy-duty drive shaft-carrier bearing and U-joints, dual
rear-axel control arms and rear anti sway bar! This is your
opportunity to own a great example of a 60's Biscayne that has been
very well taken care of with great history... it would be hard to
find another one like it!
Just look and you can tell that this vehicle was very well cared
for by its owners and kept in show condition! When you drive this
vehicle, it has the feel that you're looking for...runs and drives
just like new! This is a no excuse vehicle. This car will make a
fine collector's piece for you and your family for years to come!
