1969 L72 Biscayne

[daverd]

I had a Cortez silver2 door Biscayne
250 6 3 on the tree....
Black interior. Poverty caps and all...
Perverbial little old lady car.
With a statue of the Virgin Mary on
The dash ( frame was very rusty)
I still wish I kept the car ..

Years ago I answered an ad in Hemmings for a L72 Cortez Silver 69 Biscayne in Johnstown. Was the first to see it. Very low milage car BUT it was the base 385 /427 instead of the L72 as advertised. Had a 163 intake bolted to it. Everything else was very much intact and correct. I left disappointed and did not pursue the car. Not sure where it landed, but I looked back on it, and I feel I let one get away....BKH

Feeling some nostalgia for the old Biscayne today. I bought it out of an ad in the local auto swapper. It was being stored at the Muffler Man in Flint, MI, where the previous owner worked. I about flipped when I saw the old Flint Mfg employee parking pass still present on the rear-view mirror:



Cool car, I know Marc will do it justice.

The money shot.

That Flint mirror sticker is so awesome!

Thanks for reposting that photo Tony. For a long time that sticker was the only lead that I had to the original owner, and yet it did not match any of the history of the car after 1977. When I finally made contact, and was told that the car was ordered new by a GM employee, that sticker was suddenly like the feeling you get when the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle is put in place and fits perfectly.
