Vehicle Description
The 50s and the 60s were a time of beautifully styled cars with
lots of chrome. Its almost counter intuitive, but if you take away
most of that chrome jewelry, you can see the clean lines and
styling of the car even better. Check out the clean look of this
awesome Red Biscayne.
The side view of the car is stunning in its red paint. The lines
start high in the front, with the line dividing the top and side
staying straight, carrying through to the very back of the car. The
line down the side tapers down gradually, staying just above the
fender wells. The rear fender cuts down low over those massive rear
wheels and tapers back from there for a really great look. A curved
front windshield seems to flow right around the edge along with the
body, and the rear window does the same thing, only more
dramatically. Of course, there is some chrome on this car. The
front and rear bumpers shine like new and some polished metal
appears on the door handles, mirrors, and tail light surrounds.
Finish off the look with Chevrolet script on the hood, Biscayne
script on the rear fenders, and crossed flags on the trunk for a
great, and definitely clean look.
Open the door and you will find black and white houndstooth
dressing out the door panels with the top and bottoms trimmed in
black. The split bench seat in the front gets the same houndstooth
treatment with the black dividing the sides and along the top. Red
paint carries through from the outside of the car to the dashboard
which gives it a nice polished look. The steering column is also
red until it gets to the shifter for the automatic trans and the
three spoke black and chrome steering wheel. The speedometer and
basic gauges are set in the upper dash and a Straight Line Tuning
Am radio sits off to the right with a CD player mounted in the
glove box. A set of Equus white faced gauges are mounted under the
dash to more accurately monitor oil, temp, and battery functions to
make sure your ride stays running strong. And don't hesitate to
invite your friends along for the ride on cruise night, because the
back seat is as big and comfortable as the front. The more the
merrier!
Pop the hood on this car and you will find a neat and clean engine
compartment too. It houses a 350-cubic inch engine that has been
warmed over with a Performer EPS intake manifold and Holley 4-bbl
carburetor. That is topped off with a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner
housing, and there is also a set of chrome valve covers adding a
splash of flash to the engine bay. There is an aluminum radiator
with electric fans to keep things running cool, along with new
belts and hoses. The engine breathes out through cherry bomb style
mufflers, and power flows back through a 2 speed Powerglide
transmission. The rear suspension is a trailing link set up with
coil springs and a nice sway bar to keep things under control when
you cut that engine loose through those massive Coys alloy wheels
and 275/45R20 rear tires. Up front, 215/55R17 wheels and tires give
the car that awesome staggered look.
Fast Biscaynes have been affectionately referred to as "Bisquick"
by enthusiasts. Come on down and pick up this Bisquick and cook up
