Chevy Biscayne L78 Recreation . This 1965 Chevrolet Biscayne is the textbook definition of sleeper. With that unsuspecting 2-door sedan body style, a bench seat, and even whitewall tires on steel wheels, this car is so low-profile that its practically invisible. The only tip of the hand anywhere on the car are those 396 badges, but by the time youre close enough to read them its already too late. This is a heater and radio delete car as well as not having any other unnecessary frills. The car was relieved of its original six cylinder engine and entirely rebuilt from the ground up. No replacement panels were needed, though minor dents were repaired after the entire body was media blasted.
