1966 Chevrolet Biscayne L72 For Sale- Believed To Be 1 of 200
Biscaynes Built With L72 LMC is very proud to offer for sale this
1966 Chevrolet Biscayne L72 By 1966 GM's intermediates, with near
400-cu in engines crammed between their fender wells, were rising
in popularity faster than the hemlines of the day. The muscle car
era had arrived. Race tracks across the country were serving as the
proving grounds for myriad new high-performance powertrain combos
from the Big Three. While Chevrolet had made the high-performance
427 available across the full-size car line, the division didn't
assemble a drag-strip-dedicated packaging of those elements the way
some other manufacturers were doing at the time. So, it was up to
racers to figure out that the hot setup was the base-model Biscayne
two-door pillared sedan with the L72 engine checked off. A handful
of savvy Chevy faithful did just that and were rewarded with a
potent engine package wrapped in a large car that was both lighter
and more rigid than an Impala hardtop. Base price on a Biscayne
two-door sedan with a V-8 (not the 427) was $2,484, positioning it
$100 less than Bel Air, $305 less than Impala, $463 less than
Impala SS and $516 less than Caprice. Simply put, though the L72
could be ordered in any big Chevy--four-doors and wagons
included--the Biscayne was the lightest, cheapest, and potentially
quickest option. At just under $450, this 427 instantly transformed
Chevy's low-cost sedate sedan into a competitive drag racer. This
1966 Biscayne was built on June 21 st ,1966 and delivered new to
Gorrie's Chevrolet Oldsmobile in Toronto, Canada. It was ordered
with the L72 engine package backed by a M20 4-Speed transmission.
This car is powered by a matching numbers engine and has the
correct 7000 RPM in-dash tach, Gardiner Exhaust System, exhaust
manifolds, heads, intake, carb, air cleaner, deep groove pulleys
and very rare idler pulley. It has been frame off restored to a
concours style level and factory finished in its correct as
delivered Aztec Bronze Metallic exterior. It is fully documented
with GM of Canada Documentation, Protect-O-Plate and Owner's
Manual. There's nothing that compares to driving a full-size
Chevrolet with a high performance 427 big block. This high
horsepower stripper model was the perfect package for any drag
racer in 1966. Don't miss this opportunity to own a truly�rare,
highly collectible and desirable Bow-Tie. This vehicle is offered
by Legendary Motorcar Company on consignment.� Additional Details:
