Imagine it’s 1960. Everybody’s doing The Twist thanks to the hit song by the same name, nobody had color TVs and you could buy a brand new, full-size Chevrolet Biscayne for $2,000 provided you didn’t check offa n y options.
Here we have a time capsule example of a 1960 Biscayne 2-door. This is an all-original car with only 20,420 miles on it. The only thing on this car that wasn’t there during the Kennedy administration is the set of tires.
Back in 1984, plastic seat covers were installed to preserve the upholstery. The owners back
then evidently recognized how special the carwas given its amazing original condition at (then) 24 years old. And now, nearly four decades after that, it’s still in amazing condition. The car’s documentation even includes the original bill of sale indicating that $2,000 purchase price.
Take a close look at the body and you’ll notice it’s rock solid, arrow straight and sports chrome and stainless-steel trim that still gleams brightly. The original paint may not be quite as shiny as when new, but it’s still in impressive overall condition for a finish that’s 63 years old.
Inside, the seats are in incredible condition thanks to caring owners, the low mileage and the custom protective clear covers. The dash, door panels and vinyl floor covering (no carpet f o r the Biscayne) are all inexcellent shapewith only the headlinerhaving some age-related yellowing.
Under the hood the tried-and-true inline six is as dependable as an anvil and runs smoothly. It firesu p quickly andpurrs whether idling orunderway. Manual steering and brakes are typical of base trim levels back then, as is the “3-on-the-tree” manual transmission. But all that unfiltered interaction between car and driver makes it surprisingly fun to wheel around town, while out on the highway it cruises quietly at higher speeds.
