My 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne W code 421ci BIG block with MASSIVE spec.
THE CAR
In 2006 the previous owner began making it what it is today. I am the 4th owner, the car itself has only covered 44k miles, rock solid underneath, never been welded, the body is totally solid everywhere and still wears about 90% of its original paint! The doors and boot still shut like a new car, absolutely perfect and really satisfying.
There's one small filled dent in the front wing which I've lightly sprayed rusted colours
Inside has been re-trimmed in the correct Biscayne low-line fashion, all in fantastic condition. It has an aftermarket Alpine stereo fitted with amp, a great sound for an old car.
Blue lit Autometer gauges are fitted in the original holes in the dash and look great, the original speedo is still in place. Wipers and heaters both work perfectly. Has the huge bench-seat Hurst 4 speed shifter which looks awesome in the car with line lock button attached.

To summarise, this is a very well built car, rock solid and is an absolute riot on the road, extremely fast!
The chrome and stainless trim are in fantastic original condition but the paint does have a patina, personally, I love it the way it is, can be enjoyed without worrying, I wouldn’t change it one bit!
I love the performance, sound, and look of this car and the fact it’s a 4 door with this engine and transmission combination makes it a real sleeper.
I have folder full of receipts for all of the work carried out by the previous owner, a fortune has been spent, I even have all of the engines internal tolerance specs here, this has been a well executed build.
