This 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne 409 is an absolutely stunning 2 door sedan that was professional frame-off restored and has extensive documented history. In 1962, Chevrolet was the worlds largest automaker and produced over 2 million vehicles. Chevys product offerings were divided into 5 distinct categories, the compact Corvair, the slightly larger Chevy II, the sporty Corvette, utilitarian trucks, and full-size passenger cars. Chevrolets full-size passenger cars were divided into 3 separate sub-series, the entry-level Biscayne, the intermediate Bel Air, and the premium Impala. While Chevys passenger cars retained the same wheelbase, door panels, and major components from the previous year, the 1962 Chevrolets received all new sheetmetal. The new 1962 body was longer, boxier, and looked more modern than Chevys previous designs. The Biscaynes were the plainest 62 Chevys but were appointed with an anodized grille flanked by a pair of headlights on each side, a thin anodized rocker body molding down the side, and finished with 4 taillights in the rear. The Biscaynes interiors were also fairly plain trimmed in vinyl with cloth inserts, along with vinyl side coverings. Standard options for the Biscayne included items such as dual sun visors, turn signals, front door armrests, an ashtray, and a few additional items. In total, Chevrolet produced approximately 166,000 Biscaynes roughly half that of the Bel Air and a quarter of Impala production. This particular 62 Biscayne is highly documented and comes to us from a private collector who oversaw its professional frame-off restoration completed less than 10 years ago and kept great care of the car while under their stewardship. This 1962 Biscayne was also a local racing legend of sorts holding all sorts of records at its local drag strip. Under the hood is an upgraded 409 Cubic Inch V8 engine fed by dual 4 barrel carburetors that together produce 425 horsepower. The 409 V8 is mated to a 4 speed manual transmission that makes this classic Chevy a total blast to drive. Exhaust exits the 409 powerplant via dual exhaust setup that gives this Biscayne a nice throaty sound out the rear. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a positraction axle so that you can be sure that youll keep the rubber to the pavement. Riding on a set of 8.00-14 blackwall bias-ply tires wrapped around painted steel wheels and accented by chrome hubcaps, this 62 Biscayne has a classic period look going down the road. The chrome and brightwork around the exterior of this 1962 Chevy is in superb, show quality condition. The exterior has been correctly refinished in a beautiful Nassau Blue, completing the exterior look of this 1962 Biscayne 409. The interior on this Biscayne is top-notch! The front and rear bench seats have been beautifully reupholstered in correct Fawn vinyl with matching cloth inserts. The matching fawn dash, matching upholstered door panels, headliner, carpeting and steering wheel are all in excellent show-worthy condition and appear to be in their stock configuration. With its extensive racing history, its no surprise seeing period-type racing upgrades including a single drivers seat belt, 7,000 RPM column-mounted tachometer, and a pair of Stewart Warner under-dash gauges including a temperature gauge and oil pressure gauge. Stock instrumentation is still in place and consists of a 120 MPH speedometer and fuel gauge, along with an indicator light for engine temperature. Whether youre buying your very first classic car or youre adding to your existing blue bowtie collection, this 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne 409 would make an excellent choice.
