People like Mark will never get the credit they deserve not just for being so good at what they do but the jobs they create with all the corporate part stores that can't give you a quart of oil without the year make model. Thank you Mark from all of us that don't have parts men anymore.
That Biscayne is probably one of the top 5 cleanest cars I have ever seen. I bet the videos doesn’t do it justice. Thanks for another amazing video Bill. I watch everyone of your videos from start to finish and I have to say. You do some great voice overs. Good luck and hope you all have fun in Florida.
Heavy yes. It would fit me very good though. My first car was a 68 GTO that a friend gave me when he went to Florida for a job. It didn't run and I was 18. What a fun car it was
Bill I’m 69 and you are dead on about how cars were a source of freedom for us back in the day. The biggest day of our young lives was the day we got our drivers license. To be able to get away from our parents house (and siblings) and go out on our own was something special. And cars were another thing for us. They were how we connected with our friends. We didn’t have the internet or social media. There were only two ways to connect with peers (outside of at school) back then. The telephone or in person. I get that cars are just not very important to young people today. They have so many new ways to connect. Thanks for the trip down memory lane today.
Im 54 and couldnt wait to get my license it was a right of passage first our yard, then the sidewalk to the end of the block either north of east of our house, then bicycle and north end of town, then whole town, moped = greater range, and finally a car greater range and freedom for the tyranny of my dad. Kids today dont seem to really give a crap about that freedom no drive or thirst for it just happy to sit in the parents basement and text their friends. Sad world.
I'm 78 and everything you say was how it was for us in small town Oregon the early 1960's. The movie American Graffiti was how it was for us too. Friday and Saturday nights spent 'Drag'n tha Gut' up and down the main streets looking to see who was parked at closed for the day gas stations and grocery stores (even though gas was $.20 a gallon we didn't have a lot to spare), pulling in to shoot tha sh*t with whomever was there and watch to see who else was doing the same.
I’m only 38 and same. I grew up in a rural area and 5 miles from town. No internet. Had a phone but my parents didn’t let us use it very much. The day we could drive was a huge deal we looked forward to for years. I’ve often felt bothered that younger people don’t have the car bug but never really thought of it this way. They’re able to connect anyone, anytime, anywhere with an internet connection so cars are just a thing to them. Huh
I give a personal vote yes on the Biscayne! That old girl is clean! Like wow! Either way I love the content Bill from you and your kids! I'm subscribed to all of them! Stay warm and stay blessed!
Bill, I am 70 years old and owned a 1968 Biscayne. It was an original 427/425HP, 4 speed, 4.56 posi with a police suspension under it. It had no options when it was ordered. When I got it had a 283, three speed and 3.73. It was the best tow vehicle I ever owned. It ran 15s. That trunk was so huge, you could sleep in it or take whatever tools you needed. Also plenty of room inside also. I agree with you that it would be a great starter drag and drive car. I loved the sleeper look it had. I put Chevy stock rallye wheels on it. I am so glad you have found the love of Drag and Drive. I remember seeing Tony and Tess at Rocky Mountain Race Week in 2023 and told Tess if you can just get Bill to a Drag and Drive he will love it and find a way to do one. I was so glad to get to talk with you at Drag Week this year at National Trails and at the Christmas Tree Race, I am the YooHoo guy. Continue doing what you are doing and for the reasons that you do it because God will continue to bless you. I will be at Sick Week this year and hope to be able to talk with you again.
My first “hotrod” was a 1968 Caprice, 396/th400/12 bolt, black on black. Bought in 1991 from the 2nd owner. I owned it 17 years and spent its life as a driver/drag race car. Owned it 17 years and a friend has owned it since. This Biscayne is perfect! Do it!
Thank you Mr Hoskinson. Your videos do more than you know. I have a father that is in the process of losing his battle with cancer. It makes me scared and mad most days. It's a struggle to try and stay positive. But your videos distract me for a spell and honestly I'm a happier person after I watch it. It's so helpful to have something that just makes a person feel better
You’re absolutely about hot rodding in general, and your feeling on drag n’ drive excitement is widely shared. Sick week has personally reinvigorated my interest in drag racing as well as my dad’s. We’re working hard trying to get our cars (64 Chevelle and 72 Monte Carlo) ready to do a drag n’ drive event together someday after many years of disinterest in the drag racing scene. I think a lot of families have the desire to participate and would get really excited about a drag n’ drive focused giveaway no matter what car it is!
I LOVE ❣️ THE OLD MAN'S COOL FRIENDS! Mark from A-1 Auto, that's supported by Napa, is the coolest one of the bunch, in my opinion. He's always there to help out the Old Man with whatever he needs, especially with that warm smile 😁 to brighten the day. Always positive and upbeat that others can appreciate. He's also a very good Boss that supports his crew. He's an amazing person. Thanks for having him in your episodes! Keep up the good work 👍. Great video 📸. Have a good day today 😎🌞. Thanks.
Hello Bill,I’m 67 this month and totally relate to what you are saying about the freedom of an automobile. I’m in for the ‘68,love the butternut yellow. Uncle Terry is another one of the dying breed of parts professional’s. Keep the awesome videos coming.
Bill, that smirk looks like you already pulled the trigger! Hell ya, That car is the reason most guys tinker at night so that their car some day will look that good. I would leave the wheels, sleeper outside, business under the hood! Just my.02. Reliable is the name of the game, bling does not win the race. Fabulous video!
Completely agree, do not even think about changing wheels!!!! The old steels is where it’s at for sure! I grew up in a ‘68 Biscayne and a 68 Bel Air. I have always wanted to find a decent ‘68 2 door but the prices for a good one have just gone crazy. My buddy found one a few years ago with the original big block and it’s actually the same color as this and I’ve been drooling over it for a few years now so this would be a real treat and I’ll probably bankrupt myself trying to win but at least I’ll have a lifetime supply of hoodies when I lose, lol 😂, but seriously tho, that is one gorgeous car!
Bill, you know racing, you know how to race and how to promote a race and do a good job. I hope you dont get burned out on it and continue to make it all possible for the normal guys to continue watching and even participating. Thank you sir.
As a fella that's run his '68 Biscayne in two Drag Weeks (2016, 2019) - also with a stout SBC/200-4R combo, I can tell you the trunk holds a full set of Pro Stars, a full size floor jack, all the tools, and some spare parts perfectly. Luggage goes in the back seat. Plenty of room for a navigator up front.
It’s about the price you can get it for and what you can make in sales for the giveaway. I think you will do just fine. Your content is amazing and your knowledge is second to none
Terry from Jegs gets a gold star ⭐ for outstanding customer service! He cares about the customers and tries his best to help with whatever you need for your classic car or racer. He's the reason why I would choose to buy from this company. Great work Terry on outstanding professionalism and for the work that you do. Keep up the good work 👍. Great video 📸. Thanks for having Terry in this episode, it's appreciated. Have a good day today 😎🌞. Thanks.
Bill thanks for another great video. Wyatt had a ball riding in the tractor with you. I see him being with you all the was he gets older. Going to Florida for some sun warmth and racing therapy is the best medicine for us northern guys. The Biscayne is sweet and you can tell how straight it is by the door closing. Thanks again for sharing your experience and adventure in life with us
Beautiful car Bill. I say leave it the color it is now. That paint job is so nice I would leave it alone. If it needed a paint job I would do it the blue on Billy's drag and drive car. If it's not broken don't fix it, as the old saying goes. You found a true GEM!!! Anyone would/should be beyond proud to own such a nice car.
That biscayne is a once in a life time opportunity, don't hesitate to long. Keep the awesome content coming, hope to see that 68 in the stable real soon.
My wife and daughter and I will be there for sickward we all can’t wait it’s a bucket list for US long drive for US Canadians but will be there.. Cheers
Bill, I'm in on the Biscayne for sure. I have a sentimental soft spot for those cars and I'dlove to have this one. My only suggestion would be to let the winner make the choice on changes like wheels, intake, etc. I don't mind the mechanical changes so much as I know it's performance related, but I would personally prefer the paint matched steel wheels on the car. Yes, I realize I'm probably the minority vote there lol. The only thing that could make it better is if it was a 66!
I'm 55 and just went 2 months without a vehicle due to it being totaled while parked on Main Street. Thankfully, I wasn't in it. I realized that that was the longest I've gone without a vehicle since I was 14. We take a lot for granted these days. I had a 79 Monte Carlo back in 87 (Senior Year) and I can't wait to see more of your Monte. If you come out with some Monte merch, I'll be waiting. Keep the videos coming, they help me deal with the New England winters.
Pull the trigger Bill cars like that don't come around very often Definitely a unicorn Would be an awesome ride with a few of your touches I think that you might regret it if you don't
As I set here port and polishing my 781 heads for my motor in hopes to get some extra power to beable to compete at a small level ...I listen to your video and the passion you have for the sport is what has made me want to be part of it more ....hope you find someone that will put it to good use ....keep up the great work 💪
Oh my. When you opened that door and I saw the "Body by Fisher" emblem I instantly went back to the early 70s. Mom's cars all had that and in my mind it signified attention to detail and quality. That Biscayne is the perfect drag and drive. Pull the trigger, but please don't paint it. I for one would love to have it. Slap an old Grumps Garage plate on the front of it and start filling the calendar w drag and drive events.
New cars got efficiency, but to me at almost 70yo they lack.......soul😢 That Biscayne is a sweet ride. If i were in the USA 🇺🇸 i would definately take a run at it. Me thinks its an awsome starter kit........and a keeper. You dont see the older cars in that condition too often..... I think the people would support you on that decision Only if its YES though......
I am so glad you found Drag n Drive, I love how the whole family is so into it already!! Thanks for all you do for the community my friend! See you in Florida!
I think it’s an awesome idea and i love how you genuinely care and how passionate you are for the sport of racing and want to better it and bring others in it! Your awesome Mr. Bill!
Love the Biscayne. I always liked the bigger cars better than the pony cars. Keep doing what your are doing Bill. Love all the content from all the channels. 👍
Yes… it first starts with your family..!! Then you take it to the street..!! And if you have a couple of extra dollars and you’re able to go to the track..!! But it will always reverse itself back to your family and the togetherness of the four wheel spinning on the black asphalt..!!🙏🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦🙏🏻🦊😎😎
After watching a Reaper rant .....this is refreshing for a old guy who likes whiskey doing wood carving and raising my mutts...oh.....and toping off my day with a Colorado cig.....this comment passes I hope😅
Bill, I spoke to you last year at Bradenton during sick week. You were wiping down the Malibu. I appreciate what you do for the hot rodding community. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me, and I cant wait to see you in a few weeks.
You’re right Bill. Cars were a big deal back in the “day”. I’m almost 74 and graduated from high school in ‘69. We had some awesome cars back then. Used to go cruising in our Novas, Camaros and Cuda every weekend. Did some street racing. It was a blast. And you’re right about the freedom thing for sure. Man those were good days. And I’m still a car head playing with my 70 Nova I’ve had since ‘72.
Absolutely beautiful car. I love the fact that you are looking into buying a car and working on it to give somebody the experience of a drag and drive event or something similar to it who would never have the means to do it otherwise. You and your family are great people with huge hearts and a ton of love for other people. I wish there were more people like you out there..
That Biscayne is CLEAN!! We did a 65k mile, 65 BelAir 2dr post, as the Biscayne. It was medium blue met., and flawless! Out of S.D, 2nd owner car, put a crate 502 in it, went high 11's and easily could've held some boost! 4130lbs, with a 6pt and all parts! Awesome car, do not pass it up!
Nice looking "68" ........BUT as far as wheels either stay with the steel or cragers. But I'd go with a 8" on the back. And the fact that I'm gonna be 70 in June so I gotta go old school on the wheels.
Pull The Trigger Bill love your slight mod ideas too and love your description of why cars meant more back then. LOL, I thought for sure when Mark got in your truck he was gonna break your glove box handle
I told you Old Man. That Baby was gonna change everything. My 4 are the Light of my life. Especially little Gracelynn. We Are Blessed Beyond Measure Bill. 😎🤙🇺🇲
I came home from Vietnam and didn't want to drive my 69 SS Camaro in the Michigan winter. So I found a 68 4 door Biscayne and installed a 427 and turbo 400. We street raced it all winter and made enough money to buy a new 75 Camaro. Pull the trigger on the car and I'll participate in your giveaway. Good luck.
I think that car is just too nice to alter. I would like to see you do up an 80s Cutlas or something along that line where you can get a little crazy with it. But it is your money and time after all and support will always be there. Stay safe.
Love my gbody cars eventually I'll have me another one but maybe not a 80's Oldsmobile cutlass that stung a bit trying to hold onto that car for so long only for it to get totalled
I think you need a giveaway Malibu just like your car. Nothing about that biscain says drag and drive. It says Sunday dinner with the grandkids. And that’s your mind set right now.
To find an unmolested 1968 Chevy is rare. Although somewhat massaged, love the color. If you're going to flip a car, that's the one. Then build another Malibu like a matching wagon. Anyway your going to step up to own it, but your grandson will love going for ice cream with his pop pop. Peace
Couple of things. First that little Wyatt is so cute, I broke out in laughter seeing him wear a Gen 2 Garage knit hat. He is beautiful and so happy all the time. Second Mark and Uncle Terry together doesn't hardly get better than that. Two great guys. Third, Biscayne YES! However leave the steel wheels on it with the dog dish hub caps. Looks mean as hell that way. Fourth Thanks for the flash back to the snow clearing origins. Take Care, be safe at SICK WEEK!
Love it! I had a S/S 65 Impala 327/glide combo. Do it! Do a 454/ overdrive automatic capable of a 200 nitrous hit, it'll be a absolute winner. I'll be in on that! Dang, I take it back! Too clean!
The Biscaynes were the ultimate sleeper. Back when I was a kid running my '69 Nova , my friend picked up a beautiful ''68 Biscayne with a factory 427 and 4 speed, black on black. What an awesome car that was. If the price is right, pull that trigger young fella.
Yeah Buy it for the therapy and joy of the project and the spread of joy I'm 50yeaarsold and have the same passion I got from my Grandparents Both of my Granddad's were mechanics.I have been building 4x4 trucks and Hot rods for over 28years I have a Chevrolet 56 truck going to resto-mod it with LSX 427CI PROCHARGED engine 1,800+ HORSEPOWER WITH 4l80 transmission with Transbrake.
I think the Biscayne will have tons of support. It’s big, heavy, stable car. Which is great for entry level drivers. It’s not gonna be crazy fast which is the point. Put some sticky tires in the trunk, swap them at the track make some rips and hit the street. Later if the winner wants to do a big block and cage for like an 9.50 or 8.50 certificate even it’s great for that. I’ll definitely buy of merch to try and win it. Odds are won’t win but I really enjoy supporting your family. I’m not a rich man but I love supporting the people I trust on social media. Thanks Bill.
It's awesome Mark was able to go with you and hang out with Uncle Terry, but also get his clutch. It's sad that the parts guy business is dwindling down. I'd bet to say you already bought the Biscayne. It'll do great as a give away!
That is a nice car for sure. No idea what the price would be, but I think something cheaper and rougher would be a better chance for you to at least break even. It wouldn't need much to be a good ride. That 66-67 blue Nova you had for a little while would have been my choice. I think you need to get caught up with what is on your plate currently before taking on a whole new build to prevent the stress of a new deadline to meet. Whatever you choose to do I will be onboard with. Good luck!
BYE TOMMY HOPE YOU FIND YOUR DAD .. bruhh
Someone just recently watched the movie Elf lol
Tommy is going on the MAURY SHOW 😮
Lmao
LMAO 🤣😂
Tomcat Gunner get it boy get it
People like Mark will never get the credit they deserve not just for being so good at what they do but the jobs they create with all the corporate part stores that can't give you a quart of oil without the year make model. Thank you Mark from all of us that don't have parts men anymore.
Well said. I like how he has been getting out a little bit more, well deserved. Can't wait to see him ripping around in his 55 when it is ready.
He’s gotten PLENTY of “credit/money” for what he does. He didn’t start that business yesterday🥴
@@Edizzle15 Spoken perfect for someone who went to school and never signed a check on the front.
That aint no shit brother, those days are gone!

And heaviest

@@kylestephenson3004
It's definitely heavy but at least it's easy to make horsepower these days
Absolutely 100% yes on the biscayne. No question about it, that thing is mint and gorgeous.
Oh they'll tear it apart and do stuff to it and ruin it from what it is.

It’s wild how just seeing a new video come up from old man’s garage makes me smile immediately
Ricky is the best! He has been a brother of mine all of our life and always will be. You're in good hands with the Gibson family!

As a fella that's run his '68 Biscayne in two Drag Weeks (2016, 2019) - also with a stout SBC/200-4R combo, I can tell you the trunk holds a full set of Pro Stars, a full size floor jack, all the tools, and some spare parts perfectly.

This sounds like a great plan, you hit on a winner 🏆 I know this is a journey we all will enjoy!! Do it Bill!!
The give away would be great, I’m in when you get started!!
I love watching you race. Glad to hear you're going to do more of it.

Exactly my tought, don't ruin it!
Because it to nice and orginal..
Most definitely would do it. Even if someone wins it and can just enjoy it on a Saturday that would probably make someone really happy.
I'm 55 and just went 2 months without a vehicle due to it being totaled while parked on Main Street. Thankfully, I wasn't in it.
I realized that that was the longest I've gone without a vehicle since I was 14.

Definitely a unicorn
Would be an awesome ride with a few of your touches
I think that you might regret it if you don't
NOOO !!! Changing those orange valve covers and intake would be a sin and those wheels look absolutely incredible. Yess vintage air
Another great video from the best channel on UA-cam! Thanks, Bill!

The Biscayne looks amazing, I say go for it. This giveaway will attract a lot of attention.
Oh my. When you opened that door and I saw the "Body by Fisher" emblem I instantly went back to the early 70s. Mom's cars all had that and in my mind it signified attention to detail and quality. That Biscayne is the perfect drag and drive. Pull the trigger, but please don't paint it. I for one would love to have it. Slap an old Grumps Garage plate on the front of it and start filling the calendar w drag and drive events.
New cars got efficiency, but to me at almost 70yo they lack.......soul😢
That Biscayne is a sweet ride. If i were in the USA 🇺🇸 i would definately take a run at it.
Me thinks its an awsome starter kit........and a keeper. You dont see the older cars in that condition too often.....
I think the people would support you on that decision
Only if its YES though......
I am so glad you found Drag n Drive, I love how the whole family is so into it already!! Thanks for all you do for the community my friend! See you in Florida!
that little man Wyatt sure puts a smile on your face, which is refreshing
I think it’s an awesome idea and i love how you genuinely care and how passionate you are for the sport of racing and want to better it and bring others in it! Your awesome Mr. Bill!
That 68 is perfect, the color, the steelies with dog dish caps!!
Steelies with dog dish hubcaps sweet!!
Absolutely pull the trigger, what a beautiful car. Love the channel more and more with each video you produce Bill.
Its always a good night when Bill puts out a video! Cheers
Love the Biscayne. I always liked the bigger cars better than the pony cars. Keep doing what your are doing Bill. Love all the content from all the channels. 👍
Please leave the aesthetic just the way it is. That’s amazing!
Another great video Bill, the idea is awesome, figure it out ,im definitely in,that car is beautiful!!!
MY FAVORITE GARAGE CHANNEL !!!
👍🏼😁👍🏼
Yes… it first starts with your family..!! Then you take it to the street..!! And if you have a couple of extra dollars and you’re able to go to the track..!! But it will always reverse itself back to your family and the togetherness of the four wheel spinning on the black asphalt..!!🙏🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦🙏🏻🦊😎😎
The factory appearance under the hood is great dont change a thing. Not all cars are suppose to look like race cars
Love--This Silver Retirement Ohio show..!! You boys Rock..!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🦊….!!!
Another week, another set of videos from the family, can’t wait till sick week!
Yes! Count me in! I’ve had 3 ‘68s over the years & would love to have another
After watching a Reaper rant .....this is refreshing for a old guy who likes whiskey doing wood carving and raising my mutts...oh.....and toping off my day with a Colorado cig.....this comment passes I hope😅
I feel ya ol' bud, I'm doing almost the same thing right now.. enjoying my fresh Colorado cigar myself..
Is a "Colorado cigar" one of those that smoke from the "left-handed" variety?
@mattthemorningafter nawwww it's the shit we have in KY that makes us talk slow lol
@@kipmyers5897LOL... that's right eastern ky here
True that! Just watched James myself, lol.
Awesome Car Bill. I had one year's ago tc HoppyBob 🤠
❤Wyatt is so cute and such happy boy❤
Bill, I spoke to you last year at Bradenton during sick week. You were wiping down the Malibu. I appreciate what you do for the hot rodding community. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me, and I cant wait to see you in a few weeks.
Do the Biscayne will be a great Project.
You’re right Bill. Cars were a big deal back in the “day”. I’m almost 74 and graduated from high school in ‘69. We had some awesome cars back then. Used to go cruising in our Novas, Camaros and Cuda every weekend. Did some street racing. It was a blast. And you’re right about the freedom thing for sure. Man those were good days. And I’m still a car head playing with my 70 Nova I’ve had since ‘72.
That Biscayne is stupid clean. I'm not an Impala guy but that car is sweet. That car is a perfect car for drag and drives.
Biscayne would be a great cruiser.
Absolutely beautiful car. I love the fact that you are looking into buying a car and working on it to give somebody the experience of a drag and drive event or something similar to it who would never have the means to do it otherwise. You and your family are great people with huge hearts and a ton of love for other people. I wish there were more people like you out there..
Nice but I was disappointed when I seen 427 badges and No 427/425 I got a 69, 427/425hp SS impala pull the trigger Bill
That Biscayne is CLEAN!! We did a 65k mile, 65 BelAir 2dr post, as the Biscayne. It was medium blue met., and flawless! Out of S.D, 2nd owner car, put a crate 502 in it, went high 11's and easily could've held some boost! 4130lbs, with a 6pt and all parts! Awesome car, do not pass it up!
Bill- one last test session and we are Sick Week ready buddy!
Nice looking "68" ........BUT as far as wheels either stay with the steel or cragers. But I'd go with a 8" on the back. And the fact that I'm gonna be 70 in June so I gotta go old school on the wheels.
Shhhhhh 🤫 Bill Don't tell NAPA Mark is playing Hookie 😂! He's too close to retirement to lose his job 😂😂👍🏼
If mark sold out he’s closer than we all know Cotton!
Best part was seeing the smile on your face pushing snow with your new co- pilot. I know there’s more to come like this!
This video is so awesome! I laughed so hard, my phone almost cried!
Get lost
Please, for all of us car enthusiasts, describe what part of content you most appreciated.
Pull The Trigger Bill love your slight mod ideas too and love your description of why cars meant more back then. LOL, I thought for sure when Mark got in your truck he was gonna break your glove box handle
I told you Old Man. That Baby was gonna change everything. My 4 are the Light of my life. Especially little Gracelynn. We Are Blessed Beyond Measure Bill. 😎🤙🇺🇲
I came home from Vietnam and didn't want to drive my 69 SS Camaro in the Michigan winter.
So I found a 68 4 door Biscayne and installed a 427 and turbo 400.
We street raced it all winter and made enough money to buy a new 75 Camaro.
Pull the trigger on the car and I'll participate in your giveaway.
Good luck.
Dude missed big time on the color... It's in such great condition, going back original would have been the move. In my opinion...
I think that car is just too nice to alter. I would like to see you do up an 80s Cutlas or something along that line where you can get a little crazy with it.
But it is your money and time after all and support will always be there. Stay safe.
Love my gbody cars eventually I'll have me another one but maybe not a 80's Oldsmobile cutlass that stung a bit trying to hold onto that car for so long only for it to get totalled
I think you need a giveaway Malibu just like your car. Nothing about that biscain says drag and drive. It says Sunday dinner with the grandkids. And that’s your mind set right now.
To find an unmolested 1968 Chevy is rare. Although somewhat massaged, love the color. If you're going to flip a car, that's the one. Then build another Malibu like a matching wagon. Anyway your going to step up to own it, but your grandson will love going for ice cream with his pop pop. Peace
Couple of things.
First that little Wyatt is so cute, I broke out in laughter seeing him wear a Gen 2 Garage knit hat.
He is beautiful and so happy all the time.
Second Mark and Uncle Terry together doesn't hardly get better than that.
Two great guys.
Third, Biscayne YES!
However leave the steel wheels on it with the dog dish hub caps.
Looks mean as hell that way.
Fourth Thanks for the flash back to the snow clearing origins.
Take Care, be safe at SICK WEEK!
BUY THAT SUMMBITCH!!! That's a beautiful unit! That'd be a tough car to give away though! Wow!
I enjoy old Impala's like this one. You can't go wrong. Lots of room to do everything. Buy it and message it like you do.
Love it! I had a S/S 65 Impala 327/glide combo. Do it! Do a 454/ overdrive automatic capable of a 200 nitrous hit, it'll be a absolute winner. I'll be in on that! Dang, I take it back! Too clean!
The Biscaynes were the ultimate sleeper. Back when I was a kid running my '69 Nova , my friend picked up a beautiful ''68 Biscayne with a factory 427 and 4 speed, black on black. What an awesome car that was. If the price is right, pull that trigger young fella.
Wyatt's cute little face sitting in the sled with the beany was just too adorable!!!
ABSOLUTELY no way I would ever be able to beat on that BISCUIT.. Drive the wheels off, but never abuse it.. 😁👍🏻🇺🇸
Very nice 68. I could see you enjoying it. Only thing better at least to me would have been if it had a 427 425 horse l72 with a 4 speed.
Can’t wait to see the Mark and Bucko race!!That Impala is sick, so I’d say great idea.
Heck yah
Looks like a very nice car with most of the hard work done already!! Good luck Bill
HELL YEAH! That Biscayne is GORGEOUS!
Yeah Buy it for the therapy and joy of the project and the spread of joy I'm 50yeaarsold and have the same passion I got from my Grandparents Both of my Granddad's were mechanics.I have been building 4x4 trucks and Hot rods for over 28years I have a Chevrolet 56 truck going to resto-mod it with LSX 427CI PROCHARGED engine 1,800+ HORSEPOWER WITH 4l80 transmission with Transbrake.
I think the Biscayne will have tons of support. It’s big, heavy, stable car. Which is great for entry level drivers. It’s not gonna be crazy fast which is the point. Put some sticky tires in the trunk, swap them at the track make some rips and hit the street. Later if the winner wants to do a big block and cage for like an 9.50 or 8.50 certificate even it’s great for that. I’ll definitely buy of merch to try and win it. Odds are won’t win but I really enjoy supporting your family. I’m not a rich man but I love supporting the people I trust on social media. Thanks Bill.
Hell yeah that things beautiful as it is and you would be silly to pass on it. I will be in your giveaway for that thing are what ever it will be.
It's awesome Mark was able to go with you and hang out with Uncle Terry, but also get his clutch. It's sad that the parts guy business is dwindling down. I'd bet to say you already bought the Biscayne. It'll do great as a give away!
the 55 is still by far my favorite car from all 3 of yalls channels!!! absolutely gorgeous!!!!
That is a nice car for sure. No idea what the price would be, but I think something cheaper and rougher would be a better chance for you to at least break even. It wouldn't need much to be a good ride. That 66-67 blue Nova you had for a little while would have been my choice. I think you need to get caught up with what is on your plate currently before taking on a whole new build to prevent the stress of a new deadline to meet. Whatever you choose to do I will be onboard with. Good luck!
Buy it Bill, that thing is cherry. Love the color too! She's a real head turner, to the car guys that know about cars, for sure! Awesome find!!
That’s is and amazing machine 68 Chevy Biscayne pull that trigger. Love watching your videos keep up the good work. God bless you all
