1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

Did Baldwin Motion ever sell any 1966 Biscaynes with 427 motors? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

The Street Racer Special. See page 38 in Marty's book. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

1966? Nope. Maybe one modified through Motion as a used car, but not a new one through Baldwin Chev. The program did not get started until 1967 model year.

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

I agree, BM conversions did not start until 1967. Baldwin Chevrolet may have sold stock L-72 biscaynes through their retail dealership prior to their relationship with Motion.

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

I have a picture of Joel and Bill Thomas tuning a 66 fullsize car on the dyno circa 1968, cool picture! Motion modified yes, Motion built, no.

Steve can you post that pic of the B-M 66 Chevy? Would love to see it...

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

I mean Motion-modified 66 Chevy...

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

I emailed Marty and he said that pic in the book is 1968. Probably the same car you speak of. He recalls some lettering on the front fenders, no other info. Is that the one you have Steve?

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

I'll have to post a picture tomorrow. I don't recall what picture was in the book.

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

I think I have an article or pictures of Motion working on a '65 Impala.... I recall them putting a ram-air type setup on it removing 2 of the headlights for air ducts. I can't remember if Joel was under the hood or not. Been awhile since I seen the pics. I'll post them later on if I have them.

I would scan it if it were some other old pic, but since it's a book that just came out I'd rather not infringe until everyone I know has bought at least two copies https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Thanks Steve!That could be an Impala...You sure the guy on the left is Bill Thomas?Looks like Billy Mitchell

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

Yes, Mr. Thunderbug himself. Bill Mitchell.

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

Oops, mixed the two last names up. I just learned from a guy on another message board that his father owned this car new and raced it frequently. It was a blue factory L72 Biscayne sold out of Bast.

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

Sadly, Bast Chevrolet recently went out of business. My friend's Mom worked there for over 30 years. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

Here is the '65 Impala I remembered. Looks like it has Motion work done under the hood. Never seen anything else about this car.

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

There was another article done using a picture of this car and you can read some letters on the front fender

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

The '65 Impala or the '66 Biscayne?

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

The 65.

When I first saw this picture I new exactly what car it was. It's my fathers factory 427/425 Biscayne. Motion installed a new engine after the original one broke. I put a video on you tube of the car at West Hampton in 68. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZc97wK0keM" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZc97wK0keM[/url]</a>

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

Very cool; "The Blue Buggy". Any idea of the cars whereabouts now?

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

Bryan this is very cool, do you still have the car below?

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

I still have this Biscayne. It's a back halved race car that run's 10.30's [image]http://http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/q...ayneisland.jpg[/image]

I scanned a couple of pictures of the Biscayne that Motion modified. Not the best quality.

My fathers Motion modified Biscayne at the track. My father won both trophys in this picture. One with the Biscayne and the other with his friends 67 Firebird.

Re: 1966 BM Biscayne....???
 

I'm getting closer to the recreation of my fathers Motion modified Biscayne. Sano's Custom Paint in Dayton New Jersey just painted it Marina Blue and Glen Weisgerber painted The Blue Buggy on the fenders. If anyone has a Bast Chevrolet emblem laying please let me know.

Looks nice. One of our club members had his El Camino painted there and he is very happy with it. (and it's Black!) The place is just up the road from me.

Dave Sano does great work.

Getting a little closer to getting it done. Original blue interior material is on the way and I got the Bast Chevrolet emblem I've been searching for. Just need to get it replated.
