For Sale: 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1966 Chevrolet Biscayne 2 Door Sedan

"Biscayne's three budgeteers give buyers plenty to go for without going out on a limb in price. Outside, bold new styling of fenders, bumpers and grille; distinctive ornamentation and nameplates. Inside, new instrument panel cluster and ornamentation, new steering wheel and handsome new pattern cloth and vinyl trim. Roomy passenger compartment has foam cushioned front seat, color keyed deep twist carpeting, padded instrument panel and sun visors, seat belts and ashtrays for the front and rear." From the 1966 sales brochure.

For consignment, a 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne 2 door sedan showing 84,486 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a VA title exemption. This big bodied beauty got our attention right away and then delivered a dynamic exhaust tone denoting the 550 horsepower it now packs under the hood.

Exterior
Receiving a repaint in 2025, the owner chose to keep the original color, Willow Green, this time in modern two stage application and the fantastic, period color highlights the subtle body bends and contouring sheet metal nicely. In profile, it's one long panel after another and the rear quarter and overhang are considerable, capped by conservative tail lights and a clean, straight bumper. Up front, the grille is immaculate and this bumper contours to the fenders and wraps around giving the front a strong presence. Staggered size tires give the car a slight rake and they're mounted on 15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels which hint at the muscle under the skin. The body, paint and metalwork are near perfect but our illustrious photographer finds some minor flaws. Inclusions, some obvious filler at the C-pillar, a few chips, small filler craters, and scuffs and dullness on the front bumper apron.

Interior
Fawn vinyl and straight lined chrome trim dresses the inner doors and both show nicely with some flaking of the chrome film on the trim noted. Period style material was found in Oregon by our consignor and the plaid design is exactly how we remember it! Clean, linear fawn vinyl frames it and other than a few small scuffs, both the front split and rear bench look great. Not much veers from 1966 up front with proper patina on the steering wheel and a horizontal speedometer in front along with an AM radio. A tach now lives on the column and a twin gauge pod is suspended from the dash. A Hurst shifter rises from the tunnel over tan twist carpet, all under a very nice tan headliner. The trunk is barren and wears the proper spatter paint.

Drivetrain
Go big or go home, and that's just what our consignor did with a 496ci V8 which is a Blueprint motor putting out 479 dyno proven horsepower. It has an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and Quickfuel 4-barrel carburetor feed the fuel and a Tremec TR3550 5-speed manual sends power to the 12 bolt rear with 3.42 gears and Positraction. Headers and power brakes are on board and a Borgeson Quick Ratio power steering box makes turning this behemoth a piece of cake!

Undercarriage
Clean underneath with typical patina and a dry environment. The dual exhaust runs through Turbo mufflers and then dump under the car. Power disc brakes are up front and power drums are out back. Suspension includes coil springs at both ends with a 4 link and a panhard bar helping in back. Our consignor notes heavy duty U-joints can be found here as well.

Drive-Ability
This green machine rolls with authority onto the test loop and demonstrates obvious power underfoot, but we won't be flogging it because our rear tires, the ones most likely to spin, are 20 years old. In the meantime, she tracks straight, brakes well, and handles like butter. And bonus, all functions operate as they should as we roar back to the mall to find a showroom spot. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Oh sure, some will yearn for a Caprice or Impala, but one look at this Biscayne and all your dreams will come true as it's essentially the same body style, this time with a color keyed post, and a nice build that will absolutely impress. Yes, they will be green with envy!
