I have it on the lift for storage. I'm babysitting a friend's '66 Chevelle Restomod and felt like the Biscayne should sleep in the upper bunk. See pic.

I live on the east side to "the river" as the long-timers call it. Just north of Mooresville, near Lake Norman State Park. It's common to see NASCAR-folk around town. Martin Truax evidently lives across the Lake form me.

Beautiful cars and glad you joined this group it needs a few more sane like us. There's a few (Junky, Jeff, Phil) here needing either more or less medication... not naming names. Your friend called and wants me to come get his '66 Chevelle to check the tires for adhesion. We have a motorcycle thread here if you have bikes to show.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to learning about these cars. This car is a F&SO vehicle. I was told it was a police car when new but .

Here's a few photos...

If you post a picture of the data plate on the firewall, I'll bet that Carl or Paul will be able to tell you for sure. If it was a police car, they came with 15" rims, foam padded seats, rubber floor mat, but all of those things could have been removed and upgraded sometime in its previous life. Either way, it is still a beautiful car!

So many helpful people on here. I'll just mention your friend called me first and Wristpin is the back up incase I can't make it. My schedule is clear! LOL!

VERY nice car Interesting that someone put a Bel Air interior in it. I'm guessing it had the 'fawn' interior, code 860 originally and someone liked blue better... Biscaynes were only available with Aqua, Fawn, or Red interiors in 63.

Welcome aboard

 

[Biscayne409]

As a matter of fact, the trim tag does call for the interior to be Fawn. I like the change and hope others do too. This car, being in North Carolina has the perfect color - Carolina Blue. Am I right in thinking the carpet was a non-Biscayne thing too?

I like every thing about your car. Wouldn’t have done anything different.
