1956 Corvette Convertible / Hard top

1956 CORVETTE PROJECT CAR
I have owned this car for 36 years. I was restoring it to factory show room condition. Frame was dismantled and all parts sandblasted and painted semi-gloss black. All parts were replaced as needed. Brakes rebuilt-suspension rebuilt and new brake lines. The body is very nice but it had several coats of old paint on it, so I stripped all the old paint and primer including the door jams, door edges, and trunk as well as the main body. The body needed very little work as there was not any damaged panels on it, it isready for block sanding. This car was in good condition for its age when I got it. My plans were to completely restore it. Now most of the interest in the car is to resto-mod it so I am selling it as seen in photos without the many boxes of new and restored parts.This will keep the price down for resto-mod. The new and restored parts will be offered to the new owner if they want them. I have lots of extra parts from a second car I parted out. Included with this caris bothtops. A trunk load of original parts. original seats and tracks, new windshield glass. The grill bar and teeth are re-chromed(show quality). There is a set of side chrome that goes with the car. Not included but available is the rebuilt 57 Corvette 283 2x4 motor and B&W 4 speed.They are installed in car.I also have a running 265 motor that needs work.The chrome 14"rims that are shown on the car will be taken off and rollers put on. If new owner wants to restore this car I have 99% of the parts to do that and they will be offered to the new owner (if wanted) after the sale. The 57 parts car parts will also be offered but not sold until this sale is completed. I have put many hours into this car and have collected many boxes of parts.The VIN is VE56s0014xx(December built car)Keep in mind that there were only 3466 56 corvettes built. How many are left???Please ask ??? before you bid as this car is being sold as is!
