67 Biscayne Info

[sixtiesmuscle]

Sounds like a neat project, Chris. Baldwin/Motion offered these cars, and , dubbed them their "Street Fighter Special". They appear in the early B/M catalogs along with the transplant cars. Nickey also sold quite a few, but, any dealer could order them. I think that the 427-425 was an RPO not a COPO from '66-'69 for the big cars. If not, somebody will correct that notion. The big block swap should be pretty easy, but hopefully it's a stick car, not a powerglide. Good luck & have fun.

This isn't a '67, but here is the June 2000 feature car, a Baldwin-Motion Biscayne: https://www.yenko.net/features/June2000.htm

Thank you all for the information regarding my Biscayne. It is really wonderful having a place like this to ask and discuss the things us car lovers enjoy. i am thinking of having it painted calypso blue with black interior. I have a set of rally wheels, did the Motion cars use this type of wheel? Most of the Motion cars I have seen run a Mag style wheel.

Chris,
I like your idea of building a replica of a "Street Fighter Special". I have a friend that has a 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne:Black Exterior with Red Interior, factory 427, 4 speed. I also know a gentleman that has a 1968 "formal roofline" Impala 427 car. Neither are Motion Cars. I will try to post some photos for you. Good luck, I hope that your project works out the way that you would like it to.
