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.

As Chevrolet’s first true sports car, the C1 Corvette established an American performance legacy built on lightweight design, distinctive styling, and V8 power.

This example remains largely untouched, retaining its original character and factory-correct presentation.

With the desirable dual-quad 265 V8, Bloomington Gold verification, a restored hardtop, and preserved survivor status, this Corvette reflects a rare opportunity to experience mid-century American performance exactly as it was intended.
