Chevrolet Biscayne 350 V8 1961
General description :
350 V8, 5SPD TRANS, RUN/DRIVE GR8, LOCAL CRUISER & AFFORDABLE, GR8 1-YEAR STYLE!
You probably were just attracted to this 1961 Chevrolet Biscayne because you though it looked cool and was priced right. Little did you know that this two-door has a powerful small block V8 and an upgraded five-speed stick-shift to maximize the fun.
All the chrome in the front, curved windshield, wraparound rear glass, and a hint of an overhang on the roof – this classic really has style. It's absolutely awesome how the stylized sheet metal in the profile have a design line that warps around the rear and creates the dipping "V" in the rear panel (an exclusive style element to the '61 Chevys.) It's all quite distinctive finished in a metallic blue-grey paint. But while all this is part of a great vintage package, the completion-style American Racing Torq Thrust wheels hint at the upgrades within.
Inside is a highly correct interior that continues the sea of blue. The Biscayne offers plenty of full-size comfort to carry family and friends across two rows of wide benches, but the best treats are reserved just for the driver. You get the original stylized two-spoke steering wheel, which gives you a clear view of the artful factory gauges, as well as the added large tach. Plus, with a full auxiliary readouts and shifter sticking out of the floor, you know there's something special under the hood before you even twist the key and hear it growl.
The bold orange block, shining ribbed valve covers, and matching air topper look like they are radiating power from within the dark engine bay. And that makes sense. This much younger Chevy 350 cubic-inch power plant was even larger than the big block Chevy offered in 1961. Plus, it has nice upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and ZZ4 roller camshaft. It gives this one extra power and a great rumble out of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. You have enhanced control over this V8 and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to a more modern five-speed manual transmission.
Here's a great classic body style with some great driving enhancements, and best of all, it's offered for quite an obtainable price. So don't miss your chance, call today!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
