1961 Chevrolet Biscayne Restomod

Vehicle Description 1961 Chevrolet Biscayne $76,998 "INTRODUCTION: Old school looks, new school performance! Powered by a fuel injected LS1, this striking restomod provides a turnkey platform that is known for its unmatched reliability. Pair that engine with a modern overdrive automatic transmission and air conditioning then you have a bonafied all day cruiser. This car comes with a big stack of receipts and literature to document the build, which includes pictures. Turn the key, hit the gas, and never look back! EXTERIOR: Classic and classy! I love the fact that the builder kept everything stock looking but added modern larger staggered wheels for a real slick look. The air ride lets you slam it down for a real cool stance. Gazing down the side of the nice and straight body is satisfying with its smooth contours and sharp lines. The Ravishung Red paint was applied with great attention to detail then polished to a reflective finish. The panels were nicely aligned with good gaps that are better than average. All the glass including rubber seals and fuzzy strips are new. All the brightwork is nice and sparkly. The front grill was refinished and the headlights were upgraded to halogen. The stylish ""bullet"" rear taillights look like new, as well as all the emblems. It is rolling on a gorgeous set of chrome wheels by US Mags that are 17x7s up front and 18x8s out back. They are wrapped in a good set of performance radials. INTERIOR: Fresh and clean! The entire interior was refurbished using lots of new parts. I love the fact that the builder used the original style upholstery for a ""factory"" look at first glance. The headliner, sun visors, kick panels, door panels, and carpeting were also replaced. It has new seatbelts front and back. The rear shelf was also redone and JL audio 6x9 speakers were added. The dash and exposed metal was painted red with a satin finish, providing a very clean look. It was upgraded with a nice set of VHX Dakota Digital gauges that look great. Additional air vents were added under the dash for the modern air conditioning system that works with the original climate control. All the chrome is nice and shiny. The controller for the air ride system is easily accessible. It was also upgraded with a new polished tilt column and steering wheel too. The rear view mirror is new and it has a nice set of embroidered floor mats as well. The aftermarket center console has a very practical storage compartment and cup holders, but could be easily removed if you want. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Custom and contemporary! The 5.7 liter LS1 engine is rated at 355 horsepower. It is also fuel injected for turnkey reliability. Being equipped with power steering, power brakes, and modern air conditioning makes cruising a breeze. The serpentine belt drive system really cleans up the clutter in the bay. And the custom covers over the intake and valve covers really dresses things up. An upgraded aluminum radiator with electric fan keeps the powerplant cool. Everything was rewired using a Howell engine wiring harness. It has practical and pretty strut assisted billet aluminum hood hinges. The underside of the hood and fender wells are neatly painted black. The firewall is painted Ravishing Red just like the exterior. The latch mechanism was even chrome plated for an extra custom look. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced. Inside is nicely finished with custom cut carpet that matches the interior and also has bound edges. The air tank for the air ride suspension is mounted out of the way on the shelf and the lines are neatly routed. UNDERSIDE: Totally restored! The front end was gone through and rebuilt with lots of new parts, bushings, and hardware. 2"" drop spindles were added for a nice rake and ideal stance. The upgraded airbag system allows you to adjust the ride height with the push of a button and slam it almost to the ground when parking. It also has upgraded Ridetech Fox HQ shocks plus front and rear swaybars as well. Very nice Wilwood disc brakes at all 4 wheels with slotted & drilled rotors and new lines too. The dual exhaust system was totally redone with o2 sensors and Glaspack style mufflers. Looking up at the engine everything is nice and clean with an aluminum oil pan. The 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission also looks fresh and has a tubular cross member and a new mount. The rebuilt and balanced driveshaft leads back to a Ford 9"" rear end with panhard bar. The floors are solid and rust free with neatly applied satin black paint. SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason. CONCLUSION: I'm really liking this one! With its pre-muscle car aesthetic and modern drivetrain you truly have the best of both worlds. If you want to be cool on another level, this is the ride for you! Vehicles are displayed in a museum setting.
