Equipment
265 210hp, 3 speed, power top, no radio or heater. Restored to like new condition in 1996 and still outstanding.
Market commentary
Offered at the Kruse Auction at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas in June of last year where it failed to sell at a bid of $87,500 against the consignors expectation of $120,000. The price here is just about all anyone can expect from a restored 56 Corvette with the base engine and 3 speed, even with the added attraction of a power top (an option included on all but about 800 56s.)
