This 1956 Chevrolet Corvette was refurbished prior to the current owner’s 2014 acquisition and is powered by a 265ci V8 with dual-quad carburetors that is backed by a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Finished in green with white coves, the car has a tan soft top, 15″ wheels, windshield washers, power windows, a heater, bucket seats, beige vinyl upholstery, and a rearview mirror mounted atop the twin-cowl dash. This C1 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner at no reserve with a clean Texas title in the name of the owner’s business.
