Where else can you invest in a down market in something that can only increase in value and you have the added advantage of enjoying it as well.  And nothing says classic car like a tri-five chevy.  And of the tri-fives the 1956 is the most rare, and especially being a convertible. We have a very nice driving complete 1956 Convertible.  This car has the 4-Barrel Power Pack engine and the ever popular 3-Speed transmission with the shifter on the column. Better known as “Three on the tree”.This car starts right up and drives like a dream.  You could jump in this car and go almost anywhere.  The Power Pack engine has more than enough power to give you the thrill of driving one of these rare beauties.  You will not be disappointed!!The car has the original 265ci V8 engine, drive train and dual exhaust. The classic look is enhanced by the newer wide white wall tires.  This is so period correct.The paint color code is the correct Onyx Black (687) and the interior trim is the Charcoal Grey and Ivory  (602 ) code.The top is in very nice condition and goes up and down easily. Although the car does have a power top option it does not currently work.  Everything is there but it needs to be checked out.  The interior looks to be original but we cannot confirm that.  It is still quite usable and certainly enhances the original look.All of the chrome and stainless is in very good condition as you can see in the pictures.  All the window glass is good condition except a small crack in the drivers side front door window (See Photo) and all the windows all go up and down  easily.This car is a solid driver and can be enjoyed in its current condition very easily and you can choose when and how much work to do to get it in final show condition if that is your desire.  But again this classic beauty can be thoroughly enjoyed the way it is right now.The car has has a disk brake upgrade on the front brakes to insure safety.If you have followed these cars you know that restored ones sell in the $80K to $100K range, even in this down economy.This is a car that has high potential and you can enjoy now and restore as you go.  And you can get started for about ½ of the restored cost.The body has a lot of patina and will need minor body prep and paint to look show ready.  A lot of the paint looks to be original.The opportunity to get a complete, running, original convertible for this price does not come up very often.  You need to act now.Things Not working:  Speedo, Clock, Ampmeter,Radio (Original AM),and Power TopContact Paul @ 925-699-5398 Photo GalleryCall Paul@ 925-699-5398Call Paul@ 925-699-5398Call Paul @ 925-699-5398Call Paul @ 925-699-5398Call Paul @ 925-699-5398Additional InformationVehicle History ReportYou Should Know What They Know!Over 5 million AutoCheck reports are run by consumers, dealers and auto auctions each month.
