Re: Biscayne Resto Project
 

You know after looking at this car some more, I think I have seen it in person before. If not one almost identical at a show here around Pittsburgh. Do you know if this car was ever around this area?

As far as I know......the car was originally from North Carolina.......and ended up in New York State....not too far from Tom Williams (Wilmasboy)......I have been in contact with a prior owner who had it before it was owned by the guy I bought it from......Still gathering Info...

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
 

I've been looking for the correct Fan Shroud for the Biscayne as it didn't come with one......been looking on eBay and thru the repo catalogs.......
As I was cleaning out the garage today......look what I found......exactly what I needed.....it was off one of the other projects.......see..it pays to keep all that "Stuff"...lol

Now it down to removing the Bumpers, Grill,Inner wheel wells, etc so the car can go the body shop for paint....it's gonna be hard to paint it that same color....thinking of Sandalwood or Madeira Maroon, either of which will go good with the Fawn Interior.....any Opinions..........

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
 

Ken:
This car in any colour including just primer will look great. My last remaining 66 impala is Madeira Maroon so my vote does not count.However the 66 I received the most complements/ comments on over the years was a 66 biscayne with a fawn interior and I think the paint was called tropic turquoise.
That was a nice combo also

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
 

Here's the Madiera Maroon...(I think)

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
 

Ken.....Mark Webster's car is Madiera Maroon and it looks awesome. I think it would look awesome on your car too but I'll have to agree with Bruce, you have to paint it the color you like.... don't do it the way you think others will like.....if you like it, that's all that matters! Personally, I don't think you could paint that car in the wrong color......it will be stunning no mater what color you paint it and I can't wait to see it in Lombard!!!
