Nope, I just seen them when I was at Jody Andersons house one night paging through all the old ones that Dennis wrote.

According to the wife of the original owner of Barry's L72 M22 Biscayne (one of the 6-10 M22 Biscaynes produced in 69) the car ran 11.70's . It was a Saturday night special that would gladly show you it's tailights if you had a minimum of $200. It saw track duty at places like Lapeer and across the border at St. Thomas. Someone must remember being suckered by a 4000 pound Burnished Brown two door Biscayne sedan with dog dish hubcaps?

In the words of James Taylor in Two Lane Blacktop, "Make it two yards MOF and you got yourself an auto mobile race"

There is, or was, a blue 69 L72/M22 Biscayne owned by a guy here in Kansas. Sold new from Van-T in Topeka.

The blue one was written up in a magazine too. I picked up a copy of the magazine off ebay a few years back. I'm trying to make mine a spitting image of that one. I love the way it looks.

Dennis Naasz, former owner of the National Impala Assoc. has a Glacier blue L72 Biscayne which was completed a few years ago. I have pictures of the done car as well a few pictures I took the day he got the car out of Rapid City with a 70 front clip and rear bumper!

I don't think he would mind at all. Here they are, sorry for the poor quality of the old ones..I was a 12 year old with a 35mm disposable camera lol:

Thanks for posting those pics Steve! I see this car (like mine) also has no power steering or power brakes.
