1966 Chevrolet Biscayne

AMCM's Jerry Frye covers the collections 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne. We recently had this car out for annual maintenance, where it also received an engine rebuild among other more typical maintenance. Jerry talks a bit about the L72 history and things unique to this car.

My grand mother gave me one as my first car. I was 15. It was maroon in color , but had the tame 283 in it and a power glide tranny.but i still love. Its in a tobacco barn in Rocky Bottom S.C. now. Rusting away my cousin owns it and he is 66 years old.

Awesome!

That's the perfect Chevy enthusiast car for me. It would be fun to build a clone car.

Nice

[@CJLinOHIO]

this was my first car when I was 16, well not this car but a 66 Chevy Biscayne, it was well used and inexpensive but it was a great car, not an automatic, the shifter was on the column. Was good my first car I learned to drive with a clutch. there was a switch on the left hand corner floor that you tapped with your foot to turn your bright lights on and off. am only radio.

Beautiful! Would this be considered a COPO?

[@marchicago]

I believe the 427 was a RPO for the 1966 Biscayne, in both the L36 and L72 versions, so no, not a COPO. Unlike the later Camaro (where the 427 was only available via COPO ordering), anyone could order one of these from your local Chevrolet dealer.
