I'm getting excited I know a little bit of history on a two-door 60 Biscayne that I just picked up well I paid for it I haven't picked it up yet but anyway there's a lot of Buzz around my town here in Edmonton that it's an Edmonton car and it came from the dawn Wheaton dealership which is well known here and it had originally a 348 in it does anybody know production numbers for this year of the two door Biscayne and what one of the 348 were put in them

There MIGHT be some records for those cars that were produced in Canada,but no records are available for the US cars.Chevrolet didn't keep records as to the numbers of the various engines produced by the body line,or so I've been told.

Post some pictures of your 60 Biscayne. I looked for 3 years too find one too install my 63 409/425 hp and just couldn't find the right car.

So what did I end up with a 63 Biscayne. Congratulations on your find and HAPPY MOTORING :drinking

I am very fortunate, somehow the luck is on my side. I just paid for it yesterday and she should be home by next weekend.

I have a spare 348 from a 60 car. My plan was to machine it and get it back to life and throw it in the Biscayne until...

Long story....I made an ad looking for offers to tow her and the 60 4 door Biscayne parts car. I had one guy send me a message asking about some of the particulars on this 2 door. I relied.

It turns out...he and his son knows the 1st owner of the car! They customized it to drag race it. It had a 396 in it.

That happened on Tuesday.

Yesterday, my husband went to our tire shop to pick up 2 skins for our 60 impala, anyway, it so happens, he was talking about my car I just bought and the owner of the shop happens to also know the original owner of the car! Apparently this car was quite popular here in Edmonton back in the day.

He gave hubby his number to get more info.

Now...I have to, for the sake of the history of this car, try to make it great again, as it used to be. I wouldnt be happy of I tried to conform back to what it was when it came off the line.

Here she is, as she stands at the moment. Her name was and will remain "the Gobbler" lolad_1578620888661.jpg

Here I am today, swapping out the tires on the parts car, I grabbed a few pics of the interior and vin. It was indeed a V8 and hubby had an old racing acquaintance confirm it came with the 348 3-2bbl.

Each day that passes more info is coming up and I just keep getting more and more stoked about this baby!
