This car was previously listed and it did sell. Unfortunately, it was going to the bay area, and, the week it was to leave, the area was hit hard by an earthquake. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and deals fall through. This car is the real deal! I personally purchased this from Reggie Jackson's personal collection. Ordered new by Texaco oil as a field executive car. Researched using Alan L. Colvin’s book “Chevrolet By The Numbers”. The only book of previously-unreleased materials from Chevrolet archives. True numbers matching, documented history including the original broadcast sheet. This bench seat Biscayne rolled off the assembly line with the high performance , solid lifter, single 4-barrel, 380 horsepower 409 cubic inch engine with a Borg-warner T-10 “Turkey Leg” 4-speed shifter. The car has factory installed heavy-duty sway bar suspension, posi-traction rear, 15 inch wheels, “Sun” tachometer unit, metallic brakes, and “Unity” spotlight. The car features its obsessively maintained original factory installed upholstery including door panels, rubber flooring/mats, headliner and sun visors. Of the 15,073 409 cubic inch cars Chevrolet built for 1962, it remains undetermined exactly how many Biscayne models were built in this rare configuration. Some say less than 6, other experts have indicated this may be the only one. Throughout the course of its life, this un-restored car has been preserved as sympathetically as possible keeping utmost restraint in mind not to destroy its original character and dignity. This is an extremely rare, historically important and truly unique example of an American muscle car. A true piece of Chevrolet history. For the true collector of rare autos.This car draws a crowd at every cruise in and sparks controversy from "they never made one" to "DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE AND WHAT THIS CAR IS WORTH?" It's a lot of fun pulling into a cruise because they all think "oh a four door probably a six cyl. and then usually someone spots the 409 badges or hear's the solid lifter cam and then the crowd follows. I've owned this car for approx. 8 years and now its time to move on any questions don't be afraid to ask and thanks for lookin.
