We all know the stories of the few factory cars that were truly blacktop legends. These sleepers that were hidden in the factory order sheets where only those who really know what to look for could find a factory-built racecar for the streets. This 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne L72 is part of that secret legacy. It has a 427ci V8, a Muncie M21 four-on the-floor, fast rear gears, and the kind of restoration that takes it back to those first summer nights when this established the new king of the boulevard.
The '68 Biscayne was the perfect place to have a speed demon in disguise. The front end was updated to give it a more furrowed brow intimidating face; the sides have stylish arches for a sporty profile; and the rear had a smooth finish that could have been borrowed from NASCAR. But because this was all in the base-level Biscayne package, no one gave it a second glance in 1968. And that's the key to the car's usefulness and rarity. After all, the Biscayne wasn't weighed down by its Impala sibling's options or extra chrome, and the pillared two-door sedan made for a stronger body. So while the L72 motor was an expensive idea to the usual bare-bones Biscayne buyer, it really meant the best engine in the lightest and strongest bundle. That's why this was the same package that the guys a Baldwin Chevrolet discovered to create the Baldwin-Motion Street Racers Special. This example started its life a little further out west. We have an owner history on this one (call for all the details) that says this was first dominating the quarter-mile tracks around Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In fact, the factory-correct Butternut Yellow paint earned this car the nickname "Bisquick." Good sheet metal, uniform gaps, and chrome bumpers that hug the car's form all make this a sold-looking sleeper. And the only real hint of this car's true nature is the set of redline tires on the incognito steel wheel w/dog dish hubcaps.
Inside is a highly correct interior that continues this car's honest and time capsule appearance. The Biscayne offers plenty of full-size comfort to carry family and friends across two rows of wide benches. Everything feels thoughtful and well-preserved - from the texture of the carpet to the working dome light. Even the Delco AM radio is still there for display. In fact, the only real upgrades you're going to find in here are the very handy AutoMeter Sport-Comp tach mounted out the steering column, aux gauges under the dash, and the Hurst floor shifter.
The engine bay has the unmistakable look of big block power. These L72 Biscaynes were destined to get hard use from the start, and in fact, the first owner is said to have blown up the motor on the dragstrip while figuring out its full limits. So this is a replacement block, but it's said to have been the one exchanged when the original block was. And the era-correct casting for this 427 cubic-inch unit backs up the story. It has the right components for an L72, like solid lifters, high horse pulleys, GM winters aluminum intake, and a big Holley four-barrel carburetor. It fires up with the quickness of a well-respected car, and you better believe the rumble is awesomely mean. The Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission puts you in firm control of all the action, and the 4.56 rear end gives you powerful takeoffs. Plus, smooth power steering and a rear sway bar help make this a good cruiser when you don't need to be a bruiser.
This is the authentically presented kind of street machine legend where you can likely count the full rarity on your hands. That's why you need to catch up to this blacktop burner before it's gone. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
