OCTOBER 2019 II CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE 33
Joe got in when was he was 13. Joe
said, “Steph got involved when her
dad purchased a ’65 Mustang so she
could get me to help—and (laughs) it
worked. My first ride was a ’54 Dodge
truck ... and then a ’65 Mustang.”
Joe related, “Little did we know
how few and far between [Biscaynes]
are and if you did find one it was
either rusted out or expensive. At a
car show in Ft. Worth we met Dale
and Theresa Hilbert who were down
from Oklahoma and had the car for
sale. It was running and driving, a
six-cylinder with a three-speed.” The
pair started working on it immediately,
first changing out the drivetrain for a
small-block and an overdrive automatic
transmission.
