Re: '68 Biscayne question ??
 

Ohhh, Casey...another FOMOCO?! Has he lost his mind?! Oh well, those big cars are pretty cool...I really dig that wagon posted on the Pure Stock site.

Someone find Casey a Biscayne! I think he could give some guys some fits with one of those barges! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: '68 Biscayne question ??
 

Casey,sorry I didn't read the part where you probably couldn't afford a real 427 biscayne.I looked on quite a few sites trying to fid one but no luck,where are you located so I can look in that areas close to you.I am retired and play on the computer a lot and would be glad to look around for you to see what I can find.I found some Impalas but only the one Biscayne! these things must be pretty hard to come by.Do you have to have only a 68 model or will 69 work also.Let me know and I will be looking

Thanks Bobby !

Yep - kinda stuck on the looks of the '68 Biscayne. I had run across that L89 car before, but there is some speculation whether or not it is real or not. I wouldn't mind a legit L72 car, but don't know what kinda of $$$ they command ?? Haven't seen a real one for sale ........

Like JoeC said, http://impalass427.com/ is where I would start. Contact the gentleman (Mark?) that runs the site, and tell him you are needing one, as a certain "full size FoMoCo" needs to be put in it's place! (Brian will get a kick out of that!)

Re: '68 Biscayne question ??
 

The L72 was available in 67 Biscaynes. I remember seeing several run at Sioux City, Ia at the NHRA points meet in '68. One was called Ennis' Menace and another was called the Union Jack. I remember they ran in D stock and on 7" tires they ran in the low 12's. This engine car combination also appears in the current NHRA stock and super stock classification guide. Frank Payne

Re: '68 Biscayne question ??
 

I have had several 67 Impalas and have never seen a legitimate L-72 built in 1967. Supposedly they built five or six but have never seen a real one. I have had this discussion with Jon Krogh and Ron Mroz about this very subject, these guys are the experts on 67s and they have never seen a real L-72 in a 1967 impala. It is possible they were legal for NHRA drag racing with this engine?

Re: '68 Biscayne question ??
 

I agree, as long as I have been into the big cars, never seen a legit 67 L-72 car. Not saying there are not any ever made, but by now I figured I would have seen at least one

Micky, When and where was the picture of the 1968 taken?
