This 1961 Chevrolet Biscayne is for sale in our Houston showroom.
For one year only, in 1961, the Biscaynes sported the infamous
FlatTop roof. What made the FlatTop more special was that it was
not available on the Impala or the Belaire lines, making these
sought-after by custom car builders. This Biscayne received a full
frame-off restoration, including countless man-hours being spent on
just the gorgeous show-quality paintwork that adorns its HUGE (and
perfectly straight) original body panels! The custom (and subtle)
White over Columbia Blue color scheme really make it special, and
pops in any light. Its show-quality, period correct interior is
extremely comfortable and more than large enough for the whole
family. Under the hood of this Ultimate Sleeper is Chevy's Ultimate
Big Block: a recently built 427 CID V-8 with LS6 heads on it making
a stout 600+ HP. This magic 427 sends its spent hydrocarbons
through a great sounding Custom Stainless Steel Magnaflow side exit
exhaust system. Keeping the big block beast cooled sufficiently for
daily driving is its custom built Radiator and XL Derale electric
fan setup. She's driving that power through a custom prepped, built
TCI 700R4 transmission, controlled by a B&M electronic
controller. The rear end wasn't left untouched, as it needs to be
able to transfer that twist without breaking, so it has Heavy Duty
strange axles and PosiTrac rear end with 3.73 gears. This Biscayne
is a true Driver! This big car slows down using its Race inspired
brake system, with Wilwood 6 piston calipers grabbing its two-piece
14" drilled and slotted rotors up front, and corresponding Wilwood
4 piston calipers snaring the 12" drilled and slotted rear rotors.
It stops better than a modern day sports car! Don't assume this is
a straight line-only car - you can zip through the twisties pretty
hard on its built Hotchkis-equipped suspension. With the perfect
stance in the front and super smooth AirRide system in the rear, it
has no problem tucking its custom Billet Specialties Mags within
the wheel wells. Using a True staggered setup, with specially built
and etched Billet Specialties wheels made specifically for this car
(20" x 12" rear / 18" x 9" front) wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber,
this car has the right look for sure. A true cruiser that was built
for, and should be, driven daily! Options on the car include; power
brakes, power steering, vinyl & cloth interior, seat belts,
additional gauge clusters, all exterior blubs have been changed to
LED including the headlights, custom wheels, & more. For more
