'68 Biscayne question ??

[Chevy454]

Ohhh, Casey...another FOMOCO?! Has he lost his mind?! Oh well, those big cars are pretty cool...I really dig that wagon posted on the Pure Stock site.

Someone find Casey a Biscayne! I think he could give some guys some fits with one of those barges! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Casey,sorry I didn't read the part where you probably couldn't afford a real 427 biscayne.I looked on quite a few sites trying to fid one but no luck,where are you located so I can look in that areas close to you.I am retired and play on the computer a lot and would be glad to look around for you to see what I can find.I found some Impalas but only the one Biscayne! these things must be pretty hard to come by.Do you have to have only a 68 model or will 69 work also.Let me know and I will be looking

Thanks Bobby !

Yep - kinda stuck on the looks of the '68 Biscayne. I had run across that L89 car before, but there is some speculation whether or not it is real or not. I wouldn't mind a legit L72 car, but don't know what kinda of $$$ they command ?? Haven't seen a real one for sale ........

Like JoeC said, http://impalass427.com/ is where I would start. Contact the gentleman (Mark?) that runs the site, and tell him you are needing one, as a certain "full size FoMoCo" needs to be put in it's place! (Brian will get a kick out of that!)

The L72 was available in 67 Biscaynes. I remember seeing several run at Sioux City, Ia at the NHRA points meet in '68. One was called Ennis' Menace and another was called the Union Jack. I remember they ran in D stock and on 7" tires they ran in the low 12's. This engine car combination also appears in the current NHRA stock and super stock classification guide. Frank Payne

I have had several 67 Impalas and have never seen a legitimate L-72 built in 1967. Supposedly they built five or six but have never seen a real one. I have had this discussion with Jon Krogh and Ron Mroz about this very subject, these guys are the experts on 67s and they have never seen a real L-72 in a 1967 impala. It is possible they were legal for NHRA drag racing with this engine?

I agree, as long as I have been into the big cars, never seen a legit 67 L-72 car. Not saying there are not any ever made, but by now I figured I would have seen at least one

Micky, When and where was the picture of the 1968 taken?
