1 of 20! 1965 Chevrolet Biscayne 409/400HP 4-Speed Test Drive

[@badgerbait8351]

That cold engine light brought back some great memories!!!

[@craigpennington1251]

A friend of mine had a 1965 Biscayne with a 283. We had a lot of fun in that car way back then.

[@gordocarbo]

Straight 6 and 283s seemed to be the most common on those cars. Love the styling of all the 60s mid and full sized cars. even the corvair! Why mfrs make cars and trucks that look blander and goofier ea yr is beyond me. One reason Ill never sell my 67 El. Cant replace it with stupid prices.

[@mikechasse1016]

Loved watching that vacuum gauge when I was a kid!

[@cbtbcd12]

DAMN the telephone poles are close to the road

[@brenthill3241]

Was driven by a little ol lady only on Sundays. And these window vents. Did I tell ya about these window vents? I love these 13 minute videos that are really just commercials.

[@MSClassicCars]

We were selling the car, thats the point. Advertising it for sale. Thanks.

[@gordocarbo]

Too much commentary for me. Im cool with nothing but engine sounds Love the wing windows for function and looks...I can never seem to get them to seal perfectly, always whistling a lil haha

[@markengel4254]

You can drive it on “cold” and it was a green light when on , no warm up was necessary in normal driving

[@gordocarbo]

True! Not sure what the facination is with all the cold start videos today Ones that feature EFI cars make no sense to me. Not sure what the big deal is like its a miracle an old car with a choke could start immediately?haha

[@rossman1377]

My first car was a hand me down 4 door 1965 Biscayne that came with a 327, 2.02 heads, a 4bbl carb and a three on the tree shifter. The interior had police and taxi seats that could handle all beverage and body fluid issues a high schooler might encounter. My parents didn't order any high performance add ons but maybe the high altitude where it was delivered had something to do with that (7,000 feet). I went though many clutches and transmissions and the local home boy trans shop would throw in whatever gears they had laying around so the speedometer could not be trusted. Where the Impala had a tach, my Biscayne had a factory vacuum gauge. The factory AC was very cold. I did have a pushrod knock a hole in a rocker arm and get stuck there. It still ran but had a loud backfire. The pushrod didn't even touch the valve cover. I took the rocker arm with the pushrod wedged on it to the local Chevy parts counter and said, "I need a new one of these". Everybody in the shop came to look at it.

[@gordocarbo]

Never seen that tach, wow that is so cool. Not worth selling, keep it! Never geeked out about specs, numbers match etc. If the car is real or a clone dont matter to me. Beauty of a BB is even with a cam you can get away with taller gears for fwy driving and it STILL pulls hard. Sticky tires, deep gears for Fri night hell yeah!

[@sgtyork9330]

Who cares about the guy driving the car? We needed to see the engine and a good walk around the four sides of the car.

[@MSClassicCars]

We have a walk around video of the car also, and over 200 photos on our website. This car has been sold. Thanks.

[@gordocarbo]

​@@MSClassicCars Understand enthuiasm and bringing up strong points..but. Little less talk more engine noise would be ideal Super cool car wish I could afford...these stupid auction houses ruined the hobby.

[@Everette-wz8hj]

I'd like to see the rest of car. Outside inside underbody. Inside trunk

[@MSClassicCars]

We have a walk around of this car and have over 200 photos on our website. This car has been sold for several months now.

[@karstenramcke498]

Der absolute Traumwagen👍👍👍😊

[@jerrykorman7770]

If I win the lottery, this would be my dream car. Only changes I would make: a Silver Sport Tremec 6 speed, hydraulic clutch, and Wilwood four wheel disk brakes

[@bobsherman3407]

I like your additions! Also a Borla exhaust, K&N air induction, iridium spark plugs. Man, what a ride!

[@gordocarbo]

Id either keep 3.31 4 spd can still fwy drive or go 411 and close ratio 5 speed Front disc, dual pot master for safety and vintage AC, tunes. Id daily drive it anywhere every day. Why guys refuse to drive their cars, being all paranoid dont realize...there is no "next guy" to pay a lot for these...plus being at the end of the ICE car era...get your fun in while ya can!

[@jerrykorman7770]

@@gordocarbo agreed especially your last part.

[@davidszakacs6888]

Dang, that tach sure would be hard to watch!

[@gordocarbo]

It would...but even then tachs were more of a novelty like hood scoops, dont really need em. But they are cool like this one

[@M21L35]

My friend Jim owned this. Still can't believe Jim let it go....

[@jml251]

Did he buy this car as a daily driver or to drag on the weekend?

[@gordocarbo]

did he ever explain why? I couldnt let go of this car no matter how bad $ things got. Better than any drug on the planet

[@tonycolca2241]

The 400 hp 409 has 11 to1 compression in stock form may I ask what you are using for fuel?

[@gene978]

Damn COLD Light lol. I remember waiting in the freezing cold with mom waiting for that light to go out. Meanwhile I suffered through the COLD and about 3 cigarettes.

[@bikdav]

I’ve gotten so use to temperature gauges. So, lights don’t help me anymore. I need to have advanced warning if something is going wrong.

[@gordocarbo]

Remember every new car having cig lighters and ashtrays even where us kids sat. Now its no ashtrays a zillion useless gizmos and cupholders

[@gordocarbo]

@@bikdav Same here. Those idiot lights, when they come on its too late. Oil pressure and temps I have to know. Dont care about tachs

[@koyokai91]

1 is at manipur(India) at manipur museum

[@noelwinslow6899]

i want this car so bad im weeping like a little girl, no fair. I will have a vintage Impala , please send my positive wishes, I need some cheering up, thanks, all the best.

[@michaeldelio1870]

Noel, if I ever win Powerball, I will track this car down, and ship it to you!

[@noelwinslow6899]

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

Why your whole bio on somebody else's car video?

[@8632tony]

No exterior view of the car? And it's eT cetera, not eK cetera.

[@amyh3223]

I noticed that. How he could he not show the outside

[@MSClassicCars]

Watch the other video presentation of this car, thanks. This was only for the mechanical presentation and driving video.

Yankee's are silly but he doesn't know ALOT about cars. I say cut him some slack he seems nice to me.

[@GregZentTrumpetMan]

Yeah, the 454 wasn’t king of v8’s, not even at GM. The Buick 455 was lightest and most torque.

[@georgelevin6134]

Need to take it to the track not public highways dude.

I got $500 cash and I will take that headache off your hands 😜

[@Everette-wz8hj]

And motor

[@davidr5340]

Why would someone dog out a car and then ask you to pay high dollar for it ?

[@ottertail1997]

It's a collector because I didn't make many of them. They're worth Much more now than they were when they were new

[@gordocarbo]

All older cars are. People are starting to wake up and realize the last 20 yrs cars are garbage, designed for short lifespan. Better to throw plenty at anything older and drive that "new" car for another 50 yrs.

[@charledsalvato7592]

Please sell me your 64 Cadillac.

[@MSClassicCars]

We don't have any 1964 Cadillacs. We have a 74 available currently.

[@ottertail1997]

Low mileage. Only driven on Sunday, 1/4 mile at a time😂
