RedThis 1961 Chevrolet Biscayne is a classic drag racing car, meticulously maintained and retrofitted with a powerful performance engine. The vehicle houses a 409 block expertly bored and stroked to a remarkable 482 cubic inches, delivering approximately 700 horsepower. The Turbo 400 transmission, coupled with a 5000-stall converter, ensures impressive power delivery on the track.
Engineered for competitive racing, the Biscayne boasts a 12 Bolt rear end with 4.88 gears and Strange axles, designed for optimal strength and performance. The all-steel body and race modifications, including secure race seats and a roll bar, enable the car to pull the wheels off the ground, showcasing its formidable drag racing capabilities.
This California-origin vehicular marvel has been pampered in the dry climate of Arizona for the past 30 years. With only a couple of dozen runs and a mere 40-50 miles driven on the newly built engine, it remains in pristine condition. The owner has invested $20,000 into the engine, capable of running impressive 10-second quarter-mile times.
Alongside its racing build, the car includes a completely rebuilt original stock 409-425 HP engine, which maintains a rare and valuable piece of automotive history.
Finally, the Chevrolet Biscayne comes with a clean title, ensuring peace of mind regarding its history and ownership.
