The 1956 Chevrolet Corvette is a true favorite among fans because it has the best of everything. This is when the V8 power and first generation styling really came together in one of the coolest packages around. And so it's great to have an example that loves to showcase the best of it all while also upgrading the driver experience.
The '56 model year was the first restyle of the first generation. It was about making a more powerful looking car to go with the true muscle in the engine bay. That means power bulges in the hood, rounded fender lines, and a subtler hint of tailfin. And like any good 1950s machine there was plenty of brightwork. Everything from the intricate toothy grille to the rear split bumpers with integrated exhaust is all in place. The now-iconic side coves were first to debut this year, and so this one showcases them in one of the best ways possible. The gray inserts complement the Polo White paint while still contrasting enough to get noticed. And the white folding top and whitewall tires really give this whole package a very vintage and distinctive style. The car leaves you with an overall impression of a well-respected first-gen Vette that's also one you won't hesitate to take on the road. And as you dig a little deeper, you can understand just how much of a driver's classic this really is.
If you thought the outside color was striking, just wait until you open the door. Red interiors always look amazing on sports cars. Plus, this one has an original-style presentation, right down the bucket seat pattern that matches the door inserts. The steering wheel looks awesome in red, too, and its ridges have that great thin/grippy feel that only came on the right cars of this era. Even the trunk has a bold red matting! There's a healthy dose of stylish brightwork all around the car, but your favorite pieces might just be on the cranks on the doors. After all, the '56 car was the debut for roll-up windows. And when combined with the newer convertible top, this one buttons up well enough to make sure you don't get nervous when you spot a cloud in the sky.
When you first look under the hood, the large polished air topper and finned valve covers give this the right vintage appearance. But a closer look reveals a very nice upgrade. These C1s are famous for small block power, but that maxed out at 265ci in '56. This one has a larger 350 cubic-inch V8, and the upgrades don't stop there. It has an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and hi-rise intake. That makes for a stronger and more powerful machine. Best of all, you have complete control of the enhanced power and rumbling soundtrack thanks to the smooth-shifting four-speed manual transmission. There's even upgraded front disc brakes for added stopping power.
Bold looks and the right upgrades deliver added distinction to an already distinctive year for the C1. So you know this is the Corvette convertible you want to get your hands on. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
Fees
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
Availability
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
Contact
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
Inspection
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
Payment
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
Shipping
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
Drive it Home
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility. Documents & Vehicle Titles: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN Verification
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
Mileage
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
Condition
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
