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?

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

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.

The red marker light was for high performance 427 usually 425 h.p., It was not uncommon to have different emblems from the factory. My car is a red badge 427.

The early cars had the foil inserts. There is No ryme or reason to the color. The red Did Not indicate Horsepower. There were several vendors for the markers and later in the year the cast emblem each carried a specific part number on the back side. Flip one over and You will find numbers for the different displacements on it. Attached is the cast 427 emblem

Jim - - that is the EXACT combo that mine is !

YES - the red foil 427 badges are *typically* found on early cars. My L-72 '68 'Scayne has red foil and was a January build.
