Are you one of those guys who likes being a little different than everyone else? Someone who appreciates authenticity and honesty? Then perhaps this 1964 Chevrolet Biscayne 2-door sedan deserves a closer look. Low key and a little unusualand#44; its not another Impala SS clone but rather a clean and somewhat unusual classic Chevy with just the right appeal to a guy who is sick of Roman Red. The results are still pretty darned impressive. The light yellow paint looks pretty darned close to the factorys code 943 Goldwood Yellow (it was originally Ermine White) and will truly stand out among all the redand#44; whiteand#44; and black Impalas that you see at every show. Underneath that handsome paintand#44; youll find some very straight sheetmetal that only serves to emphasize the cleanand#44; chiseled lines of the freshened 64 Biscayne. These cars were particularly attractive in profileand#44; where the no-nonsense look and slightly rounded rear window give it a look thats distinct from the Impala hardtop. There are still those handsome Biscayne emblems on the quarter panelsand#44; but as the base modeland#44; the Biscayne didnt get a lot of shiny stuff and we have to admit we like the clean look. Of courseand#44; there are two taillights per sideand#44; not three like the Impalaand#44; and the classic 64 Chevy grille is one of the best-looking details of the decade. Add in some shiny chrome bumpersand#44; taillights lenses with blue dotsand#44; and the deck lid-mounted antenna and you have a car that stands out without making a big fuss about it. The beautiful interior offers a variety of textures and materials that should be busy but instead look fantastic. Black ultra-leather seating surfaces work with pleated door panels to add even more interest everywhere you lookand#44; and theyve added embroidered crossed-flag emblems on the seat backs for a custom look. Instrumentation covers the basicsand#44; so theres a Moon Eyes tach on the steering columnand#44; right where it belongs. Theres also a fat 3-spoke steering wheel thats vaguely OEM-looking but has a much grippier rim. Theres also a shiny Hurst Quarter-Stick shifter for the TH350 3-speed automatic transmissionand#44; and that alone gives the interior a racy look. The original AM radio still lives in the center of the dashand#44; so nothing looks too modern or out of place. The trunk is nicely finished with an authentic mat set and spatter-finish paint that looks great. A 350 cubic inch V8 provides reliableand#44; smooth power for the easy-cruiser and delivers enough punch to make it fun to drive even in traffic. The engine bay is accurately finished with fresh Chevy Orange paint on the blockand#44; Edelbrock finned valve coversand#44; and a matching air cleaner assembly helps with the look. Aside from the extra cubes in the engine and the 4-barrel carburetorand#44; its not too far from the way it might have been originallyand#44; and still carries cast iron exhaust manifoldsand#44; a single reservoir master cylinderand#44; and a thick radiator up front to keep it cool. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission is linked to the original rear endand#44; so its a pleasant highway car and a fresh Flowmaster dual exhaust system rumbles happily from behind. I wouldnt call it restored underneathand#44; but its extremely clean and it sits just right on 15-inch Torque Thrust wheels and staggered 225/70/15 front and 275/60/15 rear blackwall radials. 1964 Chevys are popular for a lot of reasonsand#44; but we think youll find this one is popular simply because its not like all the others.
