1969 Biscayne L72 M22 from Michigan

[69Biscayne427]

I am looking for photos, info or any memories of a 1969 Chevy Biscayne 425 HP car with an M22 that I am restoring. The car was owned by a GM employee when new, and still has the Flint Michigan Plant parking pass on the mirror. The car was raced at area tracks during the 70's, and still has homemade tow tabs on the front, so it could have been flat towed to any number of tracks, Detroit Dragway, Lapeer...?

If this car were a Camaro or Chevelle, the "needle in the haystack" would be too hard to find. But this Biscayne is one of only "6" 69 Biscaynes that ever had the 425 L72 motor with an M22 tranny. It was also unique in that it was ordered with no power options, and is a one year only color"Burnished Brown"

Does anyone remember seeing this car at any track during the day? A two ton ,brown, plain jane sedan ,with a solid lifter big block and a rockcrusher trans going through the gears is a sight that most would not forget.

I would really like to know this car's history, and any information or memories would be helpful. Thanks, Marc

Jim,
Thanks for the lead, that is a good site. It looks like the guy I bought the car from has already posted there trying to find out the same thing. Second owners name was "Richard Charles".
Best Regards, Marc

Here is a link to a photo of the car today. Dosen't anyone remember this two ton brown taxi cab making a pass? (Or spitting out a driveshaft, the floorpans look like this might have happened a few times!)

The car has tow tabs on the front, so maybe it was flat towed out of state?

Neat looking car. I don't remember it, though. bp

It now appears that the second owner was Michigan drag racer "Dick Ross", who flat towed the car to most of the area tracks. Does anyone remember running against this car back in the day? Thanks, Marc
