Every custom started life as an idea, a dream, a vision of what the ultimate ride would be. The '56 has a 455ci that has a FITech fuel injection with tuner "Go Street 400HP." If you're at Mile High or sea level the tuner can easily reset your fuel injection. Spark is from HEI performance Delco Remy distributor that give a more efficient combustion for higher power output.

The Dolphin gauges in a qual style gauge set have the perfect look and finish. Updated electric 2-speed wipers. Electric fan for fresh air, heat, and defrost. Classic heavy duty Vintage Air Conditioning. Original restored radio keeping to the proper style for the dash. All dash chrome is show quality.

The doors open with a keyless entry. The FOB will open with a push of a button either drivers or passenger door. Even the trunk is highly detailed in two-tone leather. Comes with a spare tire and jack stand.
The '56 is sporting a few classic custom touches such as a louvered hood. All chrome has been removed from the hood for a clean smooth look. The door handles and locks have been removed for the custom FOB's. The two-tone metallic Gold and Root Beer paint is a crowd pleaser. All the chrome is in excellent condition no pitting or rust. The aggressive stance is thanks to Rocket Racing wheels and 225/55R17 and 245/55R18 General radial tires. This is an outstanding example of an Americana custom.
