This 1956 Chevrolet Corvette is a masterful blend of classic American sports car styling and modern performance enhancements. With its iconic curves and updated drivetrain, this C1 Vette delivers the best of both worlds: vintage aesthetics and contemporary driving confidence. Whether you’re seeking a weekend cruiser or a show-ready restomod, this ‘56 Corvette stands out with tasteful upgrades and an unmistakable presence.
Beneath the sculpted hood sits a powerful 350CI GM crate engine rated at 290 horsepower, mated to a Turbo 350 automatic transmission professionally built by Phoenix Transmission. The drivetrain delivers smooth, reliable performance while maintaining the original charm of the Corvette’s legacy. A Martz Chassis independent front suspension (IFS) and 3.08 rear gears provide confident road manners, improved handling, and a balanced cruising experience. The aluminum radiator and aftermarket aluminum pulley system enhance cooling and efficiency, making it as reliable as it is quick.
Inside, this Corvette keeps things stylish yet functional. A billet steering wheel adds a touch of modern craftsmanship, while aftermarket gauges keep you informed with precision. The Lokar shifter offers smooth, crisp gear changes, and an aftermarket radio brings modern audio convenience into this mid-century icon. Power steering adds ease to every turn, perfect for long cruises or short spins through town.
This restomod Corvette is dressed to impress. A new convertible top ensures weather protection and a fresh appearance, while 17-inch chrome Torque Thrust-style wheels lend a performance-oriented look that complements its muscular stance. The car also includes Chevrolet Rally wheels if a more classic presentation is desired. Fender-to-fender, this ‘56 Corvette balances originality and performance with details like custom dual exhaust tips, aluminum radiator, and a performance pulley/bracket system.
This Corvette runs strong and drives with confidence. The crate engine fires up easily and pulls smoothly, while the transmission shifts cleanly through each gear. Steering response is direct thanks to the power steering upgrade, and the cooling system performs well even in extended driving conditions. The gauges and radio are functional, and the vehicle handles comfortably with its upgraded suspension.
A restomod done right, this 1956 Chevrolet Corvette is a tribute to one of the most recognizable cars in American history, now enhanced for real-world driving enjoyment. From its crate V8 powerplant to its custom suspension and classic-contemporary aesthetics, it offers exceptional value for enthusiasts who want style and performance. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a beautifully upgraded piece of Corvette history.
