Chevrolet completely revamped its full-size lineup in 1958, and in addition to the mesmerizing Impala, the new debuts also included the super-affordable Biscayne.
The GM brand wanted to provide customers with as many options as possible, and in addition to a wide range of configurations for the Bel Air and the Impala, it also introduced cheaper cars.
The Biscayne and the Delray were the most affordable full-size models in the revamped lineup, and despite not being as successful as their more premium siblings, they still enjoyed moderate success in their first years on the market.
The 1960 Biscayne in these photos is an all-stock example that somehow survived throughout all these years without even getting a repaint. The car wears the factory paint, and eBay seller 360_garcia says it was once hit in the back, still exhibiting obvious damage following the incident. However, it doesn't look like fixing these body problems would take long, albeit you might want to check the paint in person to determine if it requires more work.
The owner explains in their eBay listing that the car is in better shape than him, and this is probably the reason why they are now willing to let it go. However, we know nothing about the mechanical part, so you'll have to rely solely on the provided images to determine if this Biscayne deserves a second chance.
The interior is still in impressive shape and surprisingly clean, so I wish the owner shared more information on how they cared for the car. It looks like this Biscayne spent most of its time inside, so if possible, you should put the car on a lift and inspect the undersides to see what you'll find in there. I don't expect the rust to be a concern, but you won't know for sure until you inspect the undercarriage.
One thing is certain: this Biscayne has never served as a donor for another project, so it's complete and original. The seller says it's a turn-key survivor, so it shouldn't require any repairs besides what you see in the photos. The body is an easy repair, but find a good mechanic to figure out what happens under the hood before submitting an offer.
The owner posted the car on eBay with a $9,000 starting bid, but they also enabled a reserve to make sure they get more money. Fortunately, the reserve isn't far from the starting bid, so if anyone wants to buy this car without a fight, the selling price is $10,500.
Meanwhile, the car can be seen in person in Moro, Oregon, and according to the auction site, 22 people have already added it to their watchlists. Considering its shape, it shouldn't be a problem to drive this car to your garage on its wheels.
