1968 biscayne info

[lange74]

Here's the story: My dad passed away a few months ago. And he always told me a car he had in the 60s. A Biscayne with a 427 engine, from what I've seen with a pic, a 1968. He loved this car, and now, I'd like to clone one as close as possible as the one he had.

He told me that the police departement in his home town in canada had ordered 2 biscaynes Police package. When they received them, they were 2-door. So the local dealer took them and sold them to the public. (It was like brick red).

My dad always told me how quick it was and it could beat anything. Without being able to say which 427 it was, he always said it was the one from the corvette. Once, I showed him a car with 427-385 and looking at it he said it was not his engine. He said with his, the air filter was much larger and it said something like: "super-high output" or something like that. Not sure about what was written on it but maybe something like that.

would you have any idea on the engine used it that? Is it a L-72 or a special different 427 could have been used exclusively for police packages?

Did you ever see a car like the one I am describing? Do you think it is something I can find or will I need to clone it starting with a basic biscayne with 327?

If you have any other links or info on these biscaynes or know people who could help me, that would be nice, thanks a lot
