This amazingly original and detailed 1956 GMC is a one year only body style. Making it extremely rare and costly to restore to this level. Also, only a fraction of GMC's produced compared to Chevy. This combined with the 56's muscular body and menacing chrome grill make it one of the most desirable trucks in history. This gorgeous muscle truck is suited for a serious collector, wanting a rare collectable investment. Starts, idles, and runs smoothly. Dependable enough to drive daily, or gently as a weekend warrior.

99% original and all numbers matching time capsule. Very documented. Included with sale is a notarized statement from the lifelong owner stating full life history. Detailed photos, videos, and restoration records showing its provenance will be given to new buyer.

It was a running and driving survivor with all original body panels and no accident history prior to being rotisserie nut and bolt restored. Currently owned by a fastidious car collector. Located near Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport Florida, USA Clear title in sellers name.

All original numbers matching engine, transmission, and rear professionally rebuilt from top to bottom. All original interior and exterior chrome show plated. All new rubber, plastic, hoses, weather-stripping, seals, all interior soft parts replaced as needed with best parts available. New modern 12 Volt electrical system and wire harness with modern fuse box hidden under the dash for safety and originality. When needed only the finest OEM, NOS, and OER parts used.

Current condition is show quality. Retains all its original factory body panels. Full restoration began by video and photo documenting everything.

Then the factory original body, cab, hood, fenders, tailgate, and bed were methodically wet sanded then cream polished. Resulting in smooth panels and a deep gloss. The Two-tone Dark Indian Red with Ebony Black upper cab highlights the trucks classic muscular bulges. Much better than the factory, with no orange peel, but not overly clear-coated to look to showy.Tailgate GMC logo painted metallic Gold.Painstakingly assembled. Doors slam shut with a solid thud.
