If you’re a fan of fullsize ’60s performance cars, the big-block Chevy Biscayne has to occupy a spot in your personal hot rod hall of fame. For their era, they were awesome sleepers. Stripper cars typically devoid of any real options and sporting dog dish hubcaps, their drivers would roll up on unsuspecting prey sitting on a bench seat with a four-speed handle coming through the floor. Q-Ships indeed!
As you’d imagine, these so-called “strippers” from back in the day now command lots of money in both the private sale and auction arena. This car that we found on eBay will bring some serious bucks if the right person finds the ad. The car is a well documented factory 427 piece and spent time as a drag car back in the day. The original 427 met its maker back in 1969, but a GM factory replacement motor was used to replace it.
Packing 4.56 gears, a fully tuned up 427, and a stout Muncie four-speed, this thing would be an absolute blast to drive. According to the seller, only 124 were produced with the 425hp version of the 427 under the hood and it is claimed that only three of them are still around today. Is that true? We have no idea. All we know is that we don’t have near the money necessary to buy this beast, but we want it badly!
