Hey Ken,

Sounds like it's going to be a cool car. We are in the process of restoring a White/red 65 Biscyane 2 door 409/400 right now. We are planning to paint it around the end of February and have it all done around May also. The 409 is all done and I just tore the M21 apart today for rebuilding. I'll look forward to seeing your car when it is done!

Now you know damn well you aren't getting away with just a teaser...is it a real 65 409 Biscayne ? Show us more...that is too cool.

Ken,
Thought you might get a kick out of these. I stopped at a guys shop this weekend and looked at some of his "drivers". Bel Air with a converted 396 4-speed with low mileage and in very good shape. Check out the Ramble which would make a killer Pro Touring car. Both cars are for sale BTW.
