1956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 2D

• Plainly first: this is not a complete car. The 18 photos show a disassembled C1 Corvette project - a weathered fibreglass body shell on blocks outdoors (photos 1-4 and 18), its rolling chassis standing separate on the grass (photos 7-8), and the rest in storage.
• The body is genuine C1 - correct shell, dash and hardtop (photos 12-15) - in peeling white primer over red, headlight pods and grille empty, the engine bay a hollow shell (photo 5) and the cockpit gutted to its red fuel tank (photo 6).
• No engine or gearbox appears anywhere in the set; what travels with it is photographed in pieces - seats (photo 11), a door (photo 9), the hood panel (photo 10), and shelves of bumpers, gauges and trim (photos 16-17).
• Nothing in the photos separates a '56 from a '57 and there's no VIN shot, so the year rests on the seller's word; the recorded 300 miles can't be checked either - the gauge cluster sits loose on a parts shelf in photo 16.

Money: At $19,999 the price finally makes sense - the photos show a real but fully dismantled project, body off its frame with no drivetrain in sight, and the money buys that starting point, not a running Corvette.
