Equipment
265/225hp dual quads, Powerglide, spinner wheelcovers, whitewall bias ply tires, both tops, heater, WonderBar radio.
Condition
Very good paint, chrome, interior and glass. The clearcoat could use a further wet sand to smooth out light texture here and there. The engine compartment and chassis are nearly like new. A fine Corvette in unusual colors.
Market commentary
In 1956 Powerglide was more expensive than the dual quad engine. The WonderBar radio was more expensive than Powerglide and the hardtop was more expensive than any of them. All that makes this one very rare '56. Coupled with the essentially flawless restoration and rare color this was an exceptional opportunity and it brought an appropriate mid-estimate price.
