1963 409 Biscayne with three tail lights??
In 1965 I bought a 1963 409 425HP Biscayne from a guy who got drafted into the military. The car only had a few thousand miles on it. I was only 18 years old at the time and I think I paid $1,700 for it. It had a beautiful black acrylic exterior with a simple gold interior. I remember the guy making a big deal about how he had special ordered the car and he was especially proud of the three tail lights on the rear instead of the standard two. I have never seen another 63 Biscayne with three tail lights since. Can anyone tell me if three tail lights was a rare feature you could get from the factory or do you think that perhaps the guy just had a Super Sport trunk lid installed on it? I still think about this car to this day. Can you imagine all that power in the hands of a young teenager? I never got a ticket all the years I owned it probably because I spent more time replacing clutch discs, broken valve springs, and bent pushrods then I did driving it. I finally sold the car for $700 cash in a state of panic during the first "gas crisis". Everyone thought the end of the would was coming and that cars that only got 6-mpg would only be worth scrap value. If only I had that car today.
