1962 409/409 Biscayne
Total frame off restored 409/409 Biscayne, original red/red, totally rust free, I mean zero body repairs. California one piece bumpers, When I bought the car it came with all the original 409 parts except the engine. 1962 dated 068 casting block, 690 heads, correct carbs dual points etc. Borg Warner trans, 4:56 P case posi. I wasn't able to get pictures of the undercarriage today due to weather and moving cars around to get on the lift but I will add them later. I can tell you the under side is every bit as nice as the rest. Red oxide floors, correct exhaust with resinators as it should be. Every nut and bolt clip and cable is new or replated. Even the steering wheel is NOS. I won't say it is the best biscayne I will let you be the judge of that. No expense was spared on the restoration $79,000.

I forgot to add I couldn't find a replacement rubber floor mat for a red interior so I had no choice but to use the carpet. If anyone here should know of a set I would be very interested to hear from you.

Re: 1962 409/409 Biscayne
That is sick, wow. Congrats on a beautiful Biscayne.
Just curious, what's the price difference between a 409 Biscayne and 409 Impala? GLWS.

Re: 1962 409/409 Biscayne
If you mean what was the price difference when new I can't answer that for sure, I am sure Verne can answer this more accurately than I. If you were to ask me what is the price diff in todays market I feel the biscayne done right verses an Impala done right the biscayne will bring significantly more that the Impala. I am aware that this is entirely up to the buyers but if you look at what is hot in todays muscle car world it would be hard to argue that the fewer comfort options the higher the price.
