Keep an eye on it, you may see a price drop. It has a 67 antique plate too.

Mahone Bay, NS Still not old enough to need an automatic
I had a 70 Biscayne 30 years ago with a straight six/glide. It was actually fine in traffic. I assume while this car wouldn't win any races it would be fine. I'd love to do an LS swap on a car like this.
How does a big car like this move along with a 283 powerglide? Is it OK in today's traffic?
I'd think it would actually cruise along just fine with that motor. Zero performance, but fine overall for a pleasant cruiser. What we have here is likely the best example of one in Canada, and I'd love to see someone at CP own it.
Am I the only member with one?.

Thanks guys. The closest I ever owned was a 318 '68 Plymouth Fury with automatic (3-speed), and it was not a rocket but had decent enough power to do whatever you had to. Just wondering if a smaller engine with one less gear in a full size car would be a dealbreaker with the way people appear to drive so much more aggressively on the roads these days than they did 30 years ago.
Not that I'm in the position to plunk down $15K on a nice old car and leave it sit outside without a garage to deteriorate anyhow...

Boy that is nice! I would be tempted if my wife was less observant. To me the plan would be to take out the 283 (keep it though as it is such a gem) slip in a correct 67 396 I happen to have laying around, put it in front of a 700 r4, convert it to front discs and you would have a car that would cruise anywhere with legs and a certain amount of elegance.
