The numbers are all matching with the car being all original and has never been restored.

The paint job is a 6 out of 10 having been painted some time ago.  I think that I am about the 3rd to 4th owner of the car.  I bought this car from a retired mechanic who owned it for several years.  I personally have had it 2 years and drove it this past summer and the summer before.  
Everything is exceptional and works, except the radio and the temperature gauge does not work properly.  I do have the antennae for the radio,and the carpet is newer.  The seats were recovered in tuck and roll faux leather in black - not original. Inside surface of floor pans and trunk pan were abrasively treated with rhino-liner type of material applied. The carpeting is newer as well.  The headliner is original with some stains, but in good shape.  The driver's side window does have a hairline crack in it -  and the door trim around the doors is shot.  I rebuilt the single barrel carburetor. This car has the electric wipers. The gas tank was replaced and the exhaust had some work done on it before I puchashed the car.  The tires are all white wall bias ply, and the original spare is in the trunk.

The car is a nice daily driver that I put at a 15 footer because this car is not perfect and does have some chips and a few places with some surface rust. 

The car was built in Baltimore on July 12, 1956 and the engine pad stamp on passenger side of motor is 0341819T56Y.
Block casting number is 383 7004 GM and the powerglide transmission built in Towanda<NY 235 6cyl  with powerglide.  

No issues with engine or transmission -  the car has original key with spare.

Style 56-1019D 4 door sedan
Body M27398 Baltimore fisher plant
trim 573 ivory vinyl w/ charcoal gray
top paint 701 india ivory over onyx black

It is a very nice tri five that I have enjoyed, but am parting ways for I want something different to have.

I purchased manuals as well as reproduction of original manual that will go with car.
Also purchased that will go with car is a nice car cover.  All sill plates are in the car but need to be put on as they never were put back after the new carpet.


Feel free to ask questions and please know what you are getting into before you bid on this car.
This car is original and is not perfect and can easily be restored or be a daily driver.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
