Everyone wants a cheap hot rod right? Well the name brand/popular year cars are hard to find and extremely pricey. I wanted to do a build series on a CHEAP, off year car. This allows anyone to dip their toes in the car world before re mortgaging the house.

Yeah all the really famous popular cars have all been bought up, restored, customized, whatever.... Then the trucks got snatched up, then they got around to the four doors and wagons, now the late 70s and 80s stuff is getting got, even the less popular stuff that can be made into something is getting gone. I started looking for a 70s Corolla because they make cool little Japanese sports cars with a little suspension work and wheels they look and handle great along with plenty of room for performance in those 4 cylinders. Now that stuff is getting gone too, prices on them is insane, what was a $500 car in the early 2000 is now $5000

Other than replacing what needs to be and a bit of a tune-up on the 6 banger I wouldn't change a damn thing. Nothing wrong with having a reliable cruiser, not everything has to have 500 horsepower to be fun. I mean it doesn't hurt, but this thing would be a great road trip rig as is. I'd love to find something like this, get some friends together and take a trip down to Speed Week in August.

100% agree. There's too much fun to be had with a reliable "old car". I did a 64 Chevy II 4 door in the late 90s. Rebilt the 230, left the powerglide and drums on it and drove it every day. An outfit named Kanter Auto Parts sold kits mail order (remember that) a complete front end kit and a brake kit and it was good to go. $1500 total spent, 10 years and 70k miles of fun.

I appreciate what you are saying! I've been a hot rodder since the early 70's, and watched prices go totally nuts. I've belonged to various car clubs in the past, where members looked down on 4-door or 'other' makes....I've known some young couples with limited funds, but wanted to have fun in a unique car, but none of the $$$ to step into a big-engine car with all the chrome ---- I go out of my way to applaud them,...that 4 door is really special to them...that's what it's all about. If it's a 4-door or basic car ''and'' available, at a good price, go for it!!! There is definately a 'bonus' to 4 doors, with a family, or getting a bit stiff in middle-age. Hot rodding is what each person makes of it!!! Thank you for your insight on this very important matter!!!

As for buying out of town, 1000% agree! The caddy was almost literally in my back yard. However, I just bought a big block Chevy pickup for $1400 that was an hour and a half into banjo country. No rust, blue on blue, excellent interior, extended cab with overdrive and a 454. Drove it home flawlessly.

But in 2022-I bought a '73 Imperial LeBaron 4 door hardtop with the power vent windows. Why?

Anything 60's chevys, if you can get them as a fairly complete car, they are easy to work on, plenty of parts available and they are sooooooo fun to drive!

My brother bought a 1966 four door Biscayne back around 1970 or so. It was the car that started my love affair with the Bow Tie cars. It was special ordered by a doctor and he bought it as a trade in from a dealership. What was under the hood made it special. A 375hp 396 with a TH400 and posi rear end. The car screamed! He took off the 396 badges and replaced them with 283 emblems, and then went on to win a lot of street races. I still have one of the 396 emblems.

The good thing about these big old 4 doors. Ease of access! Since many of us in the hobby have passed our skinny nimble spring rooster years, the open rear portal and the shorter front doors make entry and exit a whole lot easier than those long wide two doors. There is a reason new 2 door family cars no longer exist.

One of the things that make these cars attractive is the base models were decanted on chrome trim. If you have noticed, it’s a thing people do with old cars. They remove the “extra” trim for a cleaner look. So the base cars have the more modern cool look.

One of the most fun cars I’ve had was my 70 Impala 4 door hoopty lowrider on air ride. So much fun! I also had a 67 Biscayne 427 4 speed I bought at an estate sale cheap 25 years ago. Had it for about 5-6 months and sold it for $15k many times what I paid for it. The same car showed up for sale last year and went for $120k 🤦‍♂️ If the 2door post conversion is possible go for it. There’s nothing tougher than a 2 dr post , big block, Biscayne. Even if it stays 4 door doing a big block with a 4 speed and keeping the bench seat interior would be cool AF

If you've never had a slightly hopped-up 6cyl you're missing out on something you might dig. Grind out the one barrel manifold and put a 2bbl on it, a 3" exhaust with a decent muffler, a header if you're into it and you have something that sounds great, is torquey and gets good mileage. If you want more, find a used head cheap, have it cut for a compression bump, port match it, a 4 angle valve job and you've spent $300. It's like a pitbike compared to a Hyabusa but even the 'Busa jockey's love pitbikes

I have just bought my first American car - a 73 Scamp slant 6 and I love it. I would build the Biscayne as is Dan - you have ALL V8 cars and ALL 2 door cars. Nowadays a 60s 70s car looks cool, regardless of the size of the engine or the number of doors. 😉

Looking forward to the Biscayne restoration, Dan. I'd like to see the engine cleaned up and rebuilt. That's a pretty solid engine and you can get a lot of power out of it just by adding double y headers, an Offenhouser aluminum intake, 4 barrel carb and an MSD ignition. You could maybe pull the head and clean up the valves, add hardened seats, new springs and rockers?- Balance the crank and pistons, etc. The body is pretty clean and you can handle welding new patch panels. A floor shifter would look nice, steering wheel and a dash pad. Take the hydraulic system out of the 47 and put it on the Biscayne, too, would look cool-a very nice low-rider! Can't wait to see this. Take care!

I like that year of Biscayne. Seen em all my life and this one is nice. 65 Parisienne is a beauty as well. Same drive trains. Old Canadian Ponches have Chevy frames and drive trains.

My sons first car is a 4 litre Barra Ford Falcon. Everyone has to tell him it must use alot of fuel. Actually the three sets of back tires in the first month were expensive, but he discovered if he drove sensibly, even around town, mileage was surprisingly good. I had told him this next bit, but he didn't quite get it. Someone at work told him how much they spent on cigarettes and off course alcohol comes with it. He now wants to build a ute with a bigblock because its still heaps cheaper than a habit that will kill you. You know that a BB will end up in it.

Great car. A lot of these get looked past because it's a 4 door. They are usually the ones that haven't been beaten to death, like this example you have. And the price is right. Cheers!

Don't get in over your head because then it becomes "unfun"! Great advice, I failed a few times selling cars that I realized I didn't have the resources to do when I was a teenager, but became very discerning recently when I decided to semi restore a truck my buddy was selling. I had the time to really look at what I was buying in depth before I put my cash down.

I remember my folks having a dark blue 66 4door hardtop. One cool car. Now if you can build a 2 door post car out of that. Way Cooler. I love those style cars. My folks were drivers. No going to movies or football games. We took long drives and ended up who knows where. Talk about a fun time with 3 kids n 2 adults.

Two door conversion! Keep the six. Put multiple carbs and headers on it. Give it some shiny stuff under the hood. And enjoy it for what it is.

1957 Pontiac 4 door hardtop enigma. Bought new in state. I'm the third owner. Car is titled (a lot aren't but that's another issue). Previous owner used it for a work car before deciding to hop it up a bit. Had the mill machined and rebuilt, shot the car in shit-brown primer then parked it for almost 30 years before I got it. Mostly solid. And of course it runs like new. Two issues I'm working on, one you didn't cover: wiring (old cars are notorious for having wiring issues and ppl need to take care. Rodents can make a mess under your dash). The other is relocating the master cylinder from beneath the floor up to the firewall. Then she'll be close to road worthy. It even came with vintage old Cragars and nos tires that were never on the road.

I bought a '62 Impala once, no motor /tranny but good interior and straight body for $95. Paid $50 for a complete '69 4dr Plymouth Satellite as a parts car for my 2dr. Spent $400 on the transmission and drove it for a year and 10k miles. I miss those days.

I wouldn’t change the car at all. Drive it as it is, and when you get bored with it, move it on to someone new to the hobby. Maybe if a young local kid is looking to get into it, you could be a sort of mentor. I think guys like you have a lot to pass on to the next gen of hot rodders. Hot Rods used to be all about taking what you had, and making it better/ faster with whatever you could find . I was reading some comments on the H.A.M.B site just the other day about how in some peoples eyes, the car scene has become too “cookie cutter”. Cars like this Biscayne are the way forward. Something different, done differently. Great vid as usual.👍👍

20 years ago I would have said keep the six bagger. But finding parts for a 6 cylinder can be a little spotty these days. So I don't think anyone would fault you for dropping in an LS. As far as the two-door four-door thing goes that argument's been around forever two door cooler for sure but you can't deny the convenience of four doors.

Totally agreed, Dan. I have had quite a number of cars, 2 door hardtops and even a few 4 door sedans. They actually all drive the same which is cool. Fun fact for me, I have a 68 Mustang built quite nicely, 347 4 speed yahdee dawdee do. It sits in my shop barely turning a couple hundred miles a year. I also have a decently redone, not nicely redone 76 F150 4x4 redone to totally stock. Guess which one I drive all the time. Why? Because it starts, runs and drives like it did out of the factory. So what am I saying? Just find a good car and make it drive so it’s fun and relaxing. People tend to relate better to the everyday cars than to the super rods. Enjoy!!
