Finished in 2019, this custom-built 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne Two-Door stomod is a modern take on one of Chevrolet’s most recognizable designs. Opening the hood reveals a fully dressed 348-cu.in. OHV V8 with Tri-Power carburetion nestled between finned aluminum fenhauser valve covers. Fitted with a custom-ground camshaft and roller rockers, this W-block powered Biscayne is said to put out 300 horsepower. Ripping through the gears on the floor-shifted manual, putting power down via a positraction rear axle with 3.73:1 gears, and taking in the soundtrack of growling glass pack mufflers is sure to pack a thrill. The original X-frame has been upgraded with new suspension components including a custom four-link rear suspension, adjustable shocks at all four corners, and four-wheel disc brakes. This Chevrolet presents nicely in blue, and the interior appears to be in great condition.
