Re: 427 biscayne
So if I could pick it up for 5 or 6k would that be a good deal?
It sounds like a cool car, I looked at pics of some online, and there's a restored one coming up in the next BJ auction, they have a cool look to them.

Re: 427 biscayne
Depends on how good/bad/missing it is...if its not a rusted out rat trap it would be a great buy..

Re: 427 biscayne
Hey Mark,
I am currently looking at buying a '68 SS 427 Impala. It has been sitting for many years and is in rough shape. The good news is that is has the original drive line. I will post pics of it now. The down side is that the seller is looking to get around $15K for it. I don't think that is reasonable for the condition of the car. Good luck with the Biscayne! Russ...

Re: 427 biscayne
Its not the 425 hp version ,its factory set up is the 385 or (he says..390hp) with an m20(wide ratio muncie) and 373 12 bolt.
floors and trunk are mint as is rest, rear quarters around wheel lips shot, but comes with a rust free back half from another biscayne. comes with a spare 12 bolt, and 2 more doors, extra glass, extra interior parts, extra grill and bumpers and tail lights. Its a "built in Canada" car. has tach and guages. Tach appears to be about 5700 redline. has 1 red foil 427 marker and 1 black one?..? What else did these cars have that would be different than other biscaynes?

Re: 427 biscayne
Neat cars, I have a 68 Yellow Bisquick 427-425,M22,4:88 F41 car that was built just to be raced. Until You have seen one turn sideways and row the gears it all changes. Big cars aren't supposed to do that. Good Luck with Your Purchase

Re: 427 biscayne
If you don't buy it pass the info on, I'll take it. Ive had and L-72 Biscayne for many years, Of course mine is an alterd wheelbase car, There's nothing better than throwing the gears in a big block 4 speed Biscayne.

My L-72 '68 'Scayne has red foil and was a January build.
