Picked Up A 61 Biscayne 2 Dr Sedan Today

[THE PETE-STA]

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT, I NEED SOME METAL FOR MY 61 CONV. BUT I WOULD REALLY HATE TO CHOP THIS CAR UP I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE BUILD IT AND GIVE IT THE PROPER RESTORATION IT DESERVES. ANY OFFERS?

A very, very cool car. Would seem a shame to part it out.

Maybe a built 409 stroker Hemi eater.

Great looking car. 10 times better than anything I ever start with. Hope someone spends time with it. A great find

THANKS GUYS, I'VE OWNED IT ONLY A FEW HOURS AND IT'S REALLY GROWING ON ME, I'M THINKING ABOUT THROWING AND NICE ENGINE IN IT AND ADDING 18"/20" WHEELS AND JUST DRIVE IT, BUT I'M REALLY FOCUSING ON MY CONV. RIGHT NOW, HERE ARE THE "COUSINS"

You gotta remember he is from the other coast.
That car is a solid east coast car.
Look at some of the other cars those east coaster consider and use as a restoration and that one is pretty solid,,dq

Well, I'm not standing there in person so I could be seeing things. But in the picture I see the horizontal middle line (qtr panel) crooked/wavey indicating bondo and the lower qtr edge looks to be bumpy from rust bubbles. There appears to be a hole in the wheel well upper lip as well. Maybe it's just the picture? The door looks equally wavey with bondo. Primer is usually a "red flag" for hidden treasure, so to speak!

The car does have body filler, but certainly nothing a good body filler guy could not fix. There are many who prefer a rust-free , no dent body, so this would not be a great car for them. For me , personally, I would love to have it. Once again, different people have different opinions of the same vehicle. Just a matter of how you look at it.

YOU'RE CORRECT, IT APPEARS TO HAVE HAD SOME BODY WORK DONE TO IT IN THE PAST AND IT DOES HAVE A RUST HOLE IN THE UPPER LIP, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT WHATS UNDER THERE , BUT THAT QUARTER PANEL IS VERY SOLID. GOOD EYE 58

What ever turns you on is OK by me. The nice ones are out there, you just have to step up in price.

Parts Car????

I only wish my 61 Biscayne was that good!:eek: I'd trade mine for that one, if I could swap the mising parts from mine first

In Indiana you can only see those on carriers and ebay out west:
That nearly rust free here:
