Saw this while cruising Craig's List,
Dare to be different ? I love different and this vehicle speaks to me !! stop and think about how this vehicle is equipped how few of this combination were probably produced,
First of all it's a 2 door sedan (I'm the sedan man) second of all it's a lowly Biscayne not a Impala or BelAir, third it has factory air in a Biscayne !! and forth it's a 3 on the tree !! also some one was willing to spring for the A/C but not power brakes ?
I know that rare doesn't always equate to valuable but ya gotta admit there cant be many of these out there !! https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/c...499919126.html
Take that thing and leave it exactly as it is with the exception of putting a 427 and a 4-speed in it. The AC is really unusual but it looks like the car was sold in Tuscon and that might explain the AC. Looks like the only options the car has are AC and a radio. I love it.
They speak to me too. It would make a great BB granny sleeper if it were just a bit less expensive.
I agree what a great candidate for a full restoration !! or as another poster stated just leave it as is , I agree the price is a bit steep but what a great start for a project !! , If I had the time, the money and the space I would be interested !
This is similar to my first car, a 66 Impala coupe, 283 2bbl w/ powerglide. I'd preserve and enjoy it just the way it is. I hope it finds a good home. Why does every old car have to be made into an unoriginal hot rod? Just buy a new car if you want to fly.

I can't agree more. This is one of those cars that we all wish we knew what was in the head of the original owner. You lived in Arizona so you Had to have air conditioning. Other than that. Nothing.
For those that have never driven a three on the tree. It is something that you absolutely have to follow the pattern calmly. It would lock you up big time if you missed a shift. One of my brothers had a 68 Chevelle. Turquoise white interior bench seat. 327 and Three on the tree. He literally broke the shifter off the column one night. He also went four speed after that.
If I bought this car I would change nothing. Build that motor strong but leave it just as it is. Cool cool car.

1969, finally talked Mom and Dad into a '66 Impala, 283, 2 bbl w/powerglide, white with red interior after years, years and years of Rambler and Nash. Being a junior in high school I thought it was so special--and it WAS!
Love the 65-69 Imps, Belair's, Biscayne's. Dad had a 65 SS 327 red/white vert. Scool mate still has a 65 409 stick car.
In my top 3 cars to own is a 68 SS427 stick with T83 hide-a-way headlights...triple black of course.
As I said I am the sedan man !! once I got my license the first car I was allowed to drive on a regular basis was my dads work car, you guessed it ,it was a 1963 Chevy Biscayne 2 door sedan !! 230 6 cyl, radio delete, power slide trans, vinyl floor, power steering but no power brakes
it had a mint green Earl Schieb paint job with dog dish hub caps, The first night that the old man let me take it to work I had to call him at 10pm to come and pick me up !! some one stole the battery while it sat in the parking lot of the department store I worked at !! he wasn't real happy but he obviously knew it wasn't my fault.
My 1965 Corvette was bought new from King Chevrolet in Tyler, Texas. It has Factory air conditioning, Powerglide transmission, No power steering, No power brakes.
Being a Texas car, air conditioning is a necessity.

Pretty cool car, for a Ch#$y. I wonder how this car compared in price to a 66 Oldsmobile 88. Wouldn't that be the car competing with this Biscyane at the time? I bet the Olds was quite a bit more expensive. Did they even have B body Oldsmobiles with 3 on the tree?
Digging this car too. My grandparents purchased a pair of '66 Impalas new, one was a 4-door w/ 283-2bbl (195HP) / PG, PS, PB, AM, the other was a wagon w/ 327-4bbl (275HP) / PG, PS, PB, AM. The wagon wound its way through my family (Dad owned it for a while before selling it to my older sister who moved to NV, last time I saw that car). The sedan was owned by my oldest sister who moved to Phoenix for ~10 yrs before moving back to Indy. That car wouldn't start one time they were up for a visit and they ended up taking grandpa's '67 Coupe DeVille home to Indy. I got the Impala running and wanted to buy it as my first car, but dad thought I was too young and sold it to my best friend instead (just to **** me off). I rode it it numerous times through HS, we loved the way it would chirp the tire when kicking it down to "passing gear". My buddy sold it while I was away at college and never saw it since.
