1967 Chevrolet Biscayne

  This 67 Biscayne is a  beautiful car that drives like a dream.

Documentation  

It is a 2nd owner car with a lot of paper work. Paper work

including but not limited to the Title, the original 1967 DMV registration,

1967 custom feature booklet, Chassis Broadcast copy, Sun / Air

and wheels booklet, Owner Protection plan and warranty book,

The original sale contract, lots of service invoice including fluids,

tire rotations, EGR, as well as smog device.

    Engine and Drive train 

This 67 Biscayne is 100% Matching Numbers car.

Although it is no muscle car it has no problem going down the road

with its stock 275 horse power  327 cubic inch v8 engine and the always

popular automatic powerglide transmission. What this car lacks in power it makes

up for it in the ride. With its long body and wide stance this thing rides beautifully. 

Odometer

The odometer reads 11,515 miles. I was told that at one time the speedometer

cable had broke and was drove like that for about a year before it got replaced.

However, there is no documentation of that anywhere. I personally don't think that

there is any way this car has over 100,000 miles. Everything is tight with no

slack or play in the steering or the front end. In my opinion there may be 35,000

miles on the car at the most. 

Body and trim

This Biscayne has not been restored and is not being listed as perfect. I have had it painted a little over a year ago. It is currently a glacier white pearl. I did provide a picture to try to capture the green pearl to give you an idea of the color. The only rust that  I know about is located in the left rear quarter panel. If you look at the pictures I tried to show it the best I could. I believe that it was caused from the back windshield leaking, which I got cut out and reinstalled by a local shop owner and in return I let put his shop logo on the glass for advertisement. (Just to explain the sticker) All the body gaps look really good. I also included pictures of the underside to show the quality of the floor pans, trunk pans, and frame. Take notice to how good of shape the inner quarter panels and the whole under side of the car looks. It amazes everyone that looks at it. This would be an awesome start to a restore.  The only parts that I have put on this car is a new chrome strip across the hood, new GM back up light covers, wheels and tires(I still got the factory set with the hub caps also in the pictures),and a am/fm radio and cassette player(and you guessed it I still got the factory radio as well).  

Keys

I have two sets of keys to this car both have one key that fits the ignition and door locks. The other key fits the glove compartment and trunk. It has only one key that fits the gas cap. All locks are in good working condition. 

Payment and Shipping    

Their will be $500.00 deposit that will need to be made with in 48hrs. of agreement. The remainder of the payment will need to be made in cash before the car will leave my possession. I will not ship or deliver. If a deposit is made it will not be refunded for any reason.

History Lesson  

At its introduction in 1958, the Biscayne was available as a 2- or 4-door popst sedan. A Biscayne station wagon was available from 1962 to 1968.  The 2-door sedan was dropped after 1969, and consequently from 1970 to 1972 the only Biscayne model available was the 4 door.

Biscaynes were produced primarily for the fleet market, though they were also available to the general public, mainly  to those who wanted low-cost transportation with the convenience, room and power of a full-size automobile. While most Biscaynes were sold with a six-cylinder engine through the late 1960s, the V8 engine became the more popular engine by the early 1970s.1. Power steering and power brakes were made standard in 1970, while the TurboHydramatic transmission was standard on all cars ordered with a V8 engine starting midway through the 1971 model year.

Like the slightly upscale Bel Air, Biscaynes were easily identified by the use of two taillights per side. The only difference in the was in 1959 and 1972. The more expensive Impala  had three taillights per side. The Biscayne was largely devoid of exterior chrome trim and was normally fitted with small hubcaps, though several exterior trim pieces and upgraded wheel covers were available at extra cost. Interior trim was lower grade cloth and vinyl or all-vinyl upholstery trim, a standard steering wheel with center horn button, and rubber floor mats. Slight upgrades were made throughout the life of the series. For instance the 1964 models came standard with deluxe steering wheel with horn ring, deep-twist carpeting and foam-cushioned front seats.

Many of the luxury options  were made available on the more expensive full size Chevrolet models, like power windows , were not available on the Biscayne. However, customers could purchase a Biscayne with any of Chevrolet's big-block V8 engines and performance transmissions, like the floor-mounted 4-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter and low ratio final drive. Original production numbers of cars built this way were very low, and examples of these high-performance cars are highly sought after by collectors today. Notably, Baldwin Chevrolet of Long Island, New York, became famous for offering the "Street Racer Special," a 1968 Biscayne coupe with dealer-fitted high-performance 427 cubic-inch V8, and heavy duty suspension components, turning the Biscayne into a serious drag car. Biscaynes with high-performance equipment were often nicknamed "Bisquick" by enthusiasts.

The 1965-1970 GM B platform is the fourth best selling automobile platform in history after the Volkswagen Beetle, Ford Model T and the Lada Riva.

It's time for Corvette to attack Porsche

Fri, Jun 26 2015

For most of its existence, Porsche was a smug little sports car company with a fairly limited lineup and small but steady sales. Any time the company strayed from its air-cooled, rear engine formula, the purists would turn their noses. The 944? The 948? "Not a proper Porsche," they'd sniff. And then came the greatest sin of them all: the Cayenne. To the purists, this was treason. Porsche making an SUV? Horrors! Of course, you all know how it turned out. Porsche grew to be a profit-generating juggernaut within the Volkswagen Group. And since one SUV wasn't enough they added another, the Macan. By the end of the decade Porsche will have quadrupled its global sales. You have to wonder what else it has up its sleeve. Couldn't this be a lesson for General Motors? It has a terrific sports car brand in Corvette. In fact, it's arguably the most iconic brand within GM's full-line portfolio. But for its entire existence that brand has been locked up within Chevrolet. Maybe it's time for GM to treat Corvette as a stand-alone company. Maybe it's time for GM to unlock that brand and treat Corvette as a stand-alone company. A Corvette SUV could be a killer first step. Since Porsche only makes two SUVs, maybe Corvette could make three. Small, medium, and large. And just as Porsche has the Panamera, an executive sedan from team Corvette could become an instant "gotta-have" for the yacht-buying jet set. Of course, the Corvette purists will cringe. And the biggest hue and cry will come from Chevrolet's US dealers. That's why the best place to launch the new Corvette brand would be far away from those franchisees: in China. Chinese consumers have no pre-conceived ideas that 'Vettes can only be sold in Chevy stores. And Chinese enthusiasts very much admire Corvette's historic pedigree. You've no doubt read about how Chinese authorities are cracking down on conspicuous consumption. That makes the timing even better. Corvette's selling point has always been that it is an amazing bargain for the performance you get. What a perfect way to undercut Porsche. In fact, pairing the Corvette brand with Cadillac in China could be just the shot in the arm that Cadillac's Chinese dealers need. Despite having very competitive cars, Cadillac lags far behind Audi, Mercedes, and BMW. What Cadillac dealers need is a lot more showroom traffic. And a jaw dropping lineup of Corvette-branded vehicles could bring in throngs of buyers.

2017 Honda Ridgeline enters the landscape block war

Sun, Jun 12 2016

In the test of pickup truck beds, if steel is apples and aluminum is oranges, Honda wants you to know that composites are pineapples. Chevy recently performed a test in which its own Silverado was pitted against its most obvious competitor, the Ford F-150. A loader dropped over 800 pounds of landscaping blocks into the two truck beds, and Ford's aluminum bed ended up with more damage than Chevy's steel bed. Check that test out right here. Honda apparently wasn't content to let Chevy throw stones alone. In a new test, the Japanese automaker replicated the block-drop test using its brand-new Ridgeline truck, which features a composite bed. As you'll see in the video above, there was very little damage to the high-strength plastic bed of the Ridgeline after a similar load of landscaping blocks were dropped from a loader. Without being on hand at any of these tests, we can't say with any degree of certainty that they match up in severity. But they all look pretty similar, and this is actually a test that Honda performed in front of journalists ( ourselves included) earlier this year. We visually inspected the composite bed of a Ridgeline after a demonstration just like the one on video above, and can confirm that there was basically no damage to Honda's truck. Chevy went an extra step by flinging a heavy toolbox into the Silverado and F-150; Honda didn't match that particular test. Does any of this matter? That's up to truck buyers and owners to decide, naturally, but we doubt anyone would actually dump a load like this into their own truck. And it's also worth noting that a heavy-duty spray-on bedliner would probably minimize damage to the metal surface below, whether steel or aluminum. If nothing else, it's memorable marketing.

Leveling kit now available for Chevy Colorado, but not yet for GMC Canyon

Thu, May 14 2020

In various bits of news this year concerning the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups, we kept hearing about a front leveling kit. GM Authority found a few details in early order guides in January. In February, the kit came up in relation to the Canyon's AT4 Off-Road Performance Package, and again with AEV's upgraded Colorado Bison. After three months of waiting, GMA has more info. The kit eliminates the trucks' raked stance by raising the front by one inch, using an electro-coated upper spacer and a polyurethane lower spacer in order to maintain the proper suspension geometry. Installation is a bolt-on job with low-profile nuts, but the task will require a spring compressor. Fitted properly, the kit doesn't void GM's new vehicle warranty on the Colorado. Why do we only mention the Colorado? Because for some reason, the kit isn't available for the Canyon yet as a standalone component; the GMC stays raked without one of the aforementioned option packages. For Chevy, the leveling kit is compatible with any trim in four-wheel drive except the ZR2. It cannot be installed on two-wheel-drive trucks, nor any truck wearing wheels that are 20 inches or above. The kit is available now, ordered through any Chevy dealer for $150. There is a treat in store for GMC buyers, though, but it requires spending a lot more money. GM Authority discovered that the 2021 Yukon will offer the brand's first illuminated emblem. Priced at $475 as a dealer-installed option, a backlit glow will show off the GMC logo in the grille. The brand makes the logo in red and black, it's thought the red logo will get the nod, at least at first. Only the front logo earns the spotlight, not the one on the tailgate. GMA says the tchotchke will be available on all four trims when the new full-size crossover goes on sale in a few months.
