Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 25th year in the
classic and muscle car business. The 1960's were some of the most
exciting years in the history of the automobile. Most enthusiasts
are aware that the 'muscle car' was born when Pontiac stuffed their
full-size 389 V8 into the intermediate Tempest for the 1964 model
year. But the lesser-known full-size performance cars also peaked
in the 1960's, only to vanish with the changing tastes of a new
decade. This slick Fathom Green 1969 Chevrolet Biscayne is a fine
example of a fascinating subset of the full-size genre; the
sleeper. There isn't much to distinguish this beast from Granny's
Biscayne with the 6-cylinder engine and 3-speed, except those small
427 callouts on the front fenders! That's right, this beauty is
sporting a correct 427 big block (BCN 3963512) topped with the
Winter's foundry high rise factory aluminum intake manifold, Holley
carburetor as well as a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, 12-bolt
rear end, front and rear sway bars, power steering, tilt steering
column, and radio block-off plate. This two ton terror was set up
to run, just as many racers did in the day, and it is an absolute
blast to be shifting a 4-speed in a car this large. This was the
last year that you could order a 4-speed manual transmission in
full-size Chevrolets, and by the early 1970's American
manufacturers had abandoned the idea of powerful behemoths. Our
classic features good paint, trim, chrome, glass, dash, upholstery,
headliner, and carpet. Helmet and slicks not included! Street
Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist
with worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
