Up for auction is a 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne Original L-72 427 425h.p. 4 Speed Car with Original DN Code 4.10 Posi rear. This car was sold new at Polar Chevrolet in Minnesota. It was originally equipped with an L-72 427 425h.p. M22 4 speed, DN code 4.10 Posi rear, Four piston caliper disc brakes, power steering, Factory Tach and Gauge Dash, and AM radio. The rally wheels were standard with the disc brake option. The odometer reads 19,548 miles which we fully believe to be the accurate original mileage of the car. The car was bought by the current owner about 15 years ago. At that time we contacted the 3 prior owners of the car. We were told the car was bought new at Polar Chevrolet in 1968 by someone who worked at the dealership. He bought the car to drag race. It was raced up until 1972 at Minnesota Dragways, and other tracks in the area. Through conversations with prior owners it was found the car was purchased and taken to Delaware around 1996. The current owner purchased the car in 2000. Somewhere along the line of the cars racing history the original engine and transmission were removed. In 2000 when the current owner bought the car it had a 1969 427 390h.p. motor in the car. The current owner decided he wanted to restore the car back to its original L-72 configuration. We located a date correct 3935439 casting number block dated May of 1968 , 3919840 casting number heads, 3885069 Intake, correct dated exhaust manifolds, correct dated and restored smog system. Correct 780 Holley 4053 Carburetor, correct deep grove pulleys, etc. Muncie M21 4 speed, rebuilt. Correct 621, 11 inch bellhousing. New 11 inch clutch and pressure plate.

Motor was put on the dyno. It made 470 h.p. at 5,800 RPM's. In 100% stock configuration. Engine compartment was detailed correctly. We also installed a correct 1968 L-72 Gardner exhaust system. Car has had one repaint sometime in the late 80's to early 90's. It was repainted the original Grecian Green. Body is laser straight with all original body panels. No rust ever in this car, as it has always been garage kept. It was wet sanded and buffed when the car was restored in 2012. Paint shows very nice.
