Jared Richey Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I wasn't really looking for a 56 Chevy at all this popped up on my feed on fb. But things happen I guess. 😆 265 V8 Power Glide 78k miles Paint is 20 footer, laquer cracking bad Here is the video from the trip home. 56 is definitely my #2 faith tri five   8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCfan Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Congratulations on your find and purchase, Jared!  I understand and share your affection for '56 Chevys. The first car I ever owned was a '56 Chevy Bel Air 4-door HT with a 265 and a Powerglide. Mine was Turquois blue and Ivory like the one on your sweatshirt. I was a sophomore in high school when I bought it for $600 in '63 with my own money. I couldn't afford any major modifications back then so a chrome air cleaner and exhaust tip plus a set of baby moons was pretty much it. Flat black electricians tape on all of the vertical bars of the chrome grill gave the effect of a billet grill and was easily reversible. New rear tires and a new water pump were also added, otherwise it was completely original and in good shape inside and out. Loved that car but a rod was beginning to knock and I knew I couldn't afford an engine rebuild so I dumped a couple of cans of STP in the crankcase and sold it after a year for $375. Good experience and good memories ... Good luck restoring yours - it's a beauty! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
