Overview SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1956 Chevrolet Corvette, showing just 19,389 mi (31,203 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging, though true mileage is unknown.
Finished in Polo White with Silver coves over a red vinyl interior, this C1 presents as a remarkably authentic early-production Corvette.
