That has to be the cheapest 69 chevy fullsize you can buy. 

It was also the last year for the 2 door sedan right?

Kinda of cool in the sense that someone got the absolute most basic transportation they offered and managed to resist the option list.

(Looking at the text now I see it has a powerglide and I think I see a radio so it would have been a short list.  No trucoat though)

I can just picture the scene at the dealership. It probably went something like this:

Yup, that certainly looks like a grandparents car that got handed down to the next gen who just "drove it, wrecked it and never checked it" as the saying goes.

There is nothing easier to work on than the six as long as you don't have to crawl right into the engine compartment to get to it.

With this one you would! Looks like you can stand right next to it though.

That thing is frivolous, it's a Bel Air, has whitewalls and has an automatic. Dad went for the Biscaynes with standard trans & blackwalls.

As for the Chevy six, in our '70 we crossed the country pulling a trailer, having been to Vancouver Island all the way to Newfoundland. We also drove along Route 66, crossed the Salt Flats on the way to California, been to Beverly Hills, San Francisco, and even dipped into Tijuana, plus we made several trips to Florida in it. It had been on logging roads up north and in Quebec. The only time it needed a tow was after it cracked the distributor cap during a flooded underpass crossing in Kentucky (I still have the Chevy brochures from the dealer that fixed it during that trip in '73).

I'd love a '69 Biscayne 427/425 with an M22 in the same colour as that Bel Air. Hmmm...

Years ago when I had my 69 Biscayne 2 dr sedan from AZ (327, PG, AC, PS, PB, Tint) I considered installing a 70 Biscayne front clip and rear bumper to make a one of none 70 2 dr post. I even found a 70 biscayne 4 dr donor car. But it never happened. Too many other things happening at the time and I ended up selling the car less engine. It still exists but it is in very poor condition now as opposed to when I had it more than 30 years ago. 

We had an 87 Grand National for 9 years. Nice enough car, looked great, one of the faster cars I've owned but we traded it for a 94 Impala SS and to this day I've never regretted getting into an LT1 by getting out of the Grand National. 6 cylinder, fast, cool package but there's something about a V8...

Bad thread derail here, I take full blame for it!
