1956 Chevrolet Corvette 5781 Miles Metallic Blue Convertible 383 V8 5 Speed Man

1956 Chevrolet Corvette -- Description

With proven Chevrolet power, an engaging 5-speed and modern air conditioning, this Corvette was built to be driven. And if you're tired of superficial classics that emphasize appearance over practicality, it's the real deal retro relic you've been longing for! When it comes to appeal, modern society operates on a myriad of unspoken rules that ultimately determine the winners and the losers. On the surface, judgements might seem shallow or fickle. But a deeper look reveals a pattern or, 'algorithm'... if you will, that highlights the value of basic attributes. Take the iPhone, for example: it's relatable, it's charmingly attractive and it's incredibly engaging. Or Facebook, a service that's easy to use, visually appealing and highly addictive. That 'just right' mindset feels like the perfect way to describe this Corvette's killer appearance. Simply put: the car is a winner. It's handsome without being too traditional. It's fresh without being too outlandish. And it manages to be unique while mastering the art of mass appeal. Tilt the hood and you'll find 383 cubic inches of stroked Chevrolet small block that, thanks to the pros at Smeding Performance, twist a stout 450 horsepower into 450 lb./ft. of curve-carving torque. Behind that mill, a tough Richmond 4+1 transmission kicks a 9-inch Currie third member that's fitted with 3.73 gears and a Truetrac limited-slip differential. Flaming River rack-and-pinion steering leads a modern Jim Meyer Racing front-clip. Stops are provided by four power-assisted Baer calipers, which utilize braided fluid lines to squeeze four vented rotors. At the corners of the car, Gloss Black steelies spin 215/65R16 BF Goodrich Traction T/As. And, inside this awesome Vette, class is the name of the game as tasteful Tan vinyl creates a stylish complement to the car's luxurious paint. This fully sorted Chevy is a wonderful classic to drive, enjoy and turn a lot of heads in. Call, click or visit for more information!
