1967 Chevrolet Biscayne

  This 67 Biscayne is a  beautiful car that drives like a dream.

Documentation  

It is a 2nd owner car with a lot of paper work. Paper work

including but not limited to the Title, the original 1967 DMV registration,

1967 custom feature booklet, Chassis Broadcast copy, Sun / Air

and wheels booklet, Owner Protection plan and warranty book,

The original sale contract, lots of service invoice including fluids,

tire rotations, EGR, as well as smog device.

    Engine and Drive train 

This 67 Biscayne is 100% Matching Numbers car.

Although it is no muscle car it has no problem going down the road

with its stock 275 horse power  327 cubic inch v8 engine and the always

popular automatic powerglide transmission. What this car lacks in power it makes

up for it in the ride. With its long body and wide stance this thing rides beautifully. 

Odometer

The odometer reads 11,515 miles. I was told that at one time the speedometer

cable had broke and was drove like that for about a year before it got replaced.

However, there is no documentation of that anywhere. I personally don't think that

there is any way this car has over 100,000 miles. Everything is tight with no

slack or play in the steering or the front end. In my opinion there may be 35,000

miles on the car at the most. 

Body and trim

This Biscayne has not been restored and is not being listed as perfect. I have had it painted a little over a year ago. It is currently a glacier white pearl. I did provide a picture to try to capture the green pearl to give you an idea of the color. The only rust that  I know about is located in the left rear quarter panel. If you look at the pictures I tried to show it the best I could. I believe that it was caused from the back windshield leaking, which I got cut out and reinstalled by a local shop owner and in return I let put his shop logo on the glass for advertisement. (Just to explain the sticker) All the body gaps look really good. I also included pictures of the underside to show the quality of the floor pans, trunk pans, and frame. Take notice to how good of shape the inner quarter panels and the whole under side of the car looks. It amazes everyone that looks at it. This would be an awesome start to a restore.  The only parts that I have put on this car is a new chrome strip across the hood, new GM back up light covers, wheels and tires(I still got the factory set with the hub caps also in the pictures),and a am/fm radio and cassette player(and you guessed it I still got the factory radio as well).  

Keys

I have two sets of keys to this car both have one key that fits the ignition and door locks. The other key fits the glove compartment and trunk. It has only one key that fits the gas cap. All locks are in good working condition. 

Payment and Shipping    

Their will be $500.00 deposit that will need to be made with in 48hrs. of agreement. The remainder of the payment will need to be made in cash before the car will leave my possession. I will not ship or deliver. If a deposit is made it will not be refunded for any reason.

History Lesson  

At its introduction in 1958, the Biscayne was available as a 2- or 4-door popst sedan. A Biscayne station wagon was available from 1962 to 1968.  The 2-door sedan was dropped after 1969, and consequently from 1970 to 1972 the only Biscayne model available was the 4 door.

Biscaynes were produced primarily for the fleet market, though they were also available to the general public, mainly  to those who wanted low-cost transportation with the convenience, room and power of a full-size automobile. While most Biscaynes were sold with a six-cylinder engine through the late 1960s, the V8 engine became the more popular engine by the early 1970s.1. Power steering and power brakes were made standard in 1970, while the TurboHydramatic transmission was standard on all cars ordered with a V8 engine starting midway through the 1971 model year.

Like the slightly upscale Bel Air, Biscaynes were easily identified by the use of two taillights per side. The only difference in the was in 1959 and 1972. The more expensive Impala  had three taillights per side. The Biscayne was largely devoid of exterior chrome trim and was normally fitted with small hubcaps, though several exterior trim pieces and upgraded wheel covers were available at extra cost. Interior trim was lower grade cloth and vinyl or all-vinyl upholstery trim, a standard steering wheel with center horn button, and rubber floor mats. Slight upgrades were made throughout the life of the series. For instance the 1964 models came standard with deluxe steering wheel with horn ring, deep-twist carpeting and foam-cushioned front seats.

Many of the luxury options  were made available on the more expensive full size Chevrolet models, like power windows , were not available on the Biscayne. However, customers could purchase a Biscayne with any of Chevrolet's big-block V8 engines and performance transmissions, like the floor-mounted 4-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter and low ratio final drive. Original production numbers of cars built this way were very low, and examples of these high-performance cars are highly sought after by collectors today. Notably, Baldwin Chevrolet of Long Island, New York, became famous for offering the "Street Racer Special," a 1968 Biscayne coupe with dealer-fitted high-performance 427 cubic-inch V8, and heavy duty suspension components, turning the Biscayne into a serious drag car. Biscaynes with high-performance equipment were often nicknamed "Bisquick" by enthusiasts.

The 1965-1970 GM B platform is the fourth best selling automobile platform in history after the Volkswagen Beetle, Ford Model T and the Lada Riva.

2015 Chevy Volt will be available with 4G LTE

Tue, Jan 14 2014

General Motors teased consumers two years ago when it showed off a Chevrolet Volt decked out with 4G LTE connectivity. More details were finally unveiled this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: the 2015 Chevy Volt will have a 4G LTE option and will offer consumers an as-yet-unpriced option with much faster wireless internet connection and more smartphone apps. GM's OnStar has teamed up with AT&T to come up with several mobile apps alongside the roadside assistance. The Volt joins the 2015 Corvette, Impala and Malibuz models that will debut with a 4G LTE option this year. The first four 4G ChevroLTE models will be released this summer and will be joined by the Spark (EV and gas versions), Equinox, Silverado and Silverado HD. GM has yet to announce whether any Cadillac or Buick models will get the 4G option. Chevrolet Accelerates to 4G LTE Speeds in 2014 Bowtie brand models in U.S. and Canada to get OnStar 4G LTE by summer LAS VEGAS – Starting this summer, Chevrolet will have some of the fastest vehicles on the roads, and that has nothing to do with horsepower. Chevrolet drivers will be enjoying high-speed data - made possible by a new OnStar 4G LTE connection in the vehicle, running on AT&T's network, the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. Chevrolet today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt would be the first General Motors' vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. They will be followed by the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV. In the Canadian market, OnStar with 4G LTE will be introduced on the Chevrolet Trax as well. The majority of the 2015 Chevrolet lineup in the U.S and Canada will have a 4G LTE connection built-in at vehicle launch. More models will be announced later this year. "Chevrolet is expected to implement the broadest deployment of 4G LTE in the automotive industry," said Alan Batey, senior vice president of Global Chevrolet. "The fact that OnStar with 4G LTE will be available in models that range from the Chevrolet Spark to the Silverado to the Corvette, is indicative of our broad commitment to deliver more value and convenience through smart technology applications.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city

Sat, Aug 16 2014

Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
