No Reserve: Ex–Hubert Platt 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne Two-Door Sedan 409 4-Speed​

Current Bid: $25,000 Ends in 5 days

This 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne is a two-door sedan that was purchased new and raced in the early 1960s under the moniker “Lil General” by NHRA Hall of Fame inductee Hubert Platt and tuned by International Drag Racing Hall of Famer Don Nicholson. The car has since been refurbished and repainted in bronze and is powered by a 409ci V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a Posi traction rear axle with 4.11:1 gears.

It sure seems to pull hard in the driving video although I don't know why they made a big show of the driver ducking down when it's in the garage.

one of very few of chevys bodys i actualy like..and i could never figure out why, and that color looks GOOD on it

62 is my favorite as well...it has everything I would want in one...409/4spd, steel wheels, and that colour is amazing! It'll go a lot higher than that in the last 30 seconds...

the cues it took from 61 and then influenced 63 with made it as close to perfect as it gets for chevy...aside from a couple of very specific vettes and the 58..its the only chevy offering i like...mind you im ignoring olds/cad/pontiac

I always liked the Pontiacs better

I like 62s because they have a perimeter frame - other GMS didn't until 63. (IIRC) But that right there is a beauty.

Bring a trailer has a feature where if there's bid in the last minute the clock starts over until everybody is finished.

The weird thing is if the timer expires it pops up a message "Checking for last minute bids". What? You're a computer you don't have to check. I've got no idea what it does when it checks but I noticed one where it went to that and eventually started accepting bids again with the timer at 1 minute.
