WE ARE LISTING OUR '56 VICTORIA IN HOPES SOMEONE OUT THERE WANTS A GOOD CAR AT A REASONABLE PRICE. A CAR LIKE THIS IS A RARE FIND, LET ME EXPLAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN ONE IS LISTED IT IS $25,000 TO $45,000 OR ONE NEEDING A FULL RESTORATION FOR $10,000, AND THEN HAVING TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL $30,000 OR MORE TO RESTORE IT. THIS IS A CAR THAT I HAVE PRICED VERY AFFORDABLE AND CAN BE DRIVEN TO A CRUISE-IN OR SHOW OR JUST TO CRUISE AROUND WITH. IT IS NOT A PERFECT CAR BY NO MEANS, BUT IS VERY PRESENTABLE. THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 45,000 MILES AND I DON'T THINK THIS IS TOO FAR OFF. IT HAS BEEN IN MO AND AR MOST OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS A STRONG BODY. THE CROSSMEMBER IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AS ARE THE FLOORS, AND THE DOOR BOTTOMS, WITH NO RUST. THE FRONT FLOOR PANS SEEM LIKE THEY ALWAYS HAVE RUST, BUT THESE DON'T. I TOOK SOME PICTURES OF BODY MOUNTS, FLOORS, AND SUPPORTS SHOWING THEIR CONDITION. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL ROCKER PANELS THAT HAVE HAD SOME PATCHING AND IT HAS HAD SOME PATCHING OVER THE BACK WHEELS AND QUARTERS. THERE ARE SOME BUBBLES SHOWING AROUND THESE AREAS. THE ENGINE IS REALLY CLEAN INSIDE AS I HAVE BEEN INSIDE SETTING THE VALVES AND HAVE DONE A COMPLETE TUNE-UP (POINTS, CONDENSER, CAP, ROTOR, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES) IT RUNS GOOD AND HANDLES GOOD. THE FRONT END IS TIGHT. THE ENGINE IS EQUIPPED WITH A NEWER INTAKE MANIFOLD AND A MODERN 4 BRL HOLLEY CARBURATOR. THE ORIGINAL AIR CLEANER WILL FIT THIS CARBURATOR, IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COMPLETELY ORIGINAL. IT HAS FOUR GOOD MATCHING W-W-W TIRES, GOOD HUBCAPS, NEWER INTERIOR (STILL COVERED WITH CLEAR PLASTIC COVERS), MATCHING DOOR PANELS, NEW SUNVISORS, GOOD HEADLINER AND CARPETING, NEW DOOR SILL PLATES, RECHROMED BUMPERS AND BUMPER GUARDS, NEW STAINLESS ROCKER MOLDINGS, NEW STAINLESS FRONT FENDER ROCK GUARDS, CONTINENTAL KIT WITH BOTH FULL AND 1/2 COVER, COMPLETE WITH A GOOD W-W-W TIRE, HUBCAP AND STAINLESS RING. NEWER DUAL EXHAUST THROUGH THE BACK BUMPER, AS IT SHOULD BE. THE WINDOWS ARE ALL GOOD AND ROLL UP AND DOWN EASILY. I REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE & HOUSING AND ALSO INSTALLED A NEW 20 TOOTH GEAR IN TRANS, NEW BRAKE HOSES, WHEEL CYLINDERS, GOOD BRAKES, NEW STOPLIGHT SWITCH, A WORKING EMERGENCY BRAKE AND NEW TRUNK MAT. THERE IS A WIPER MARK ON THE DRIVES SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD (NOT DEEP AND COULD BE BUFFED OUT). ALL GUAGES WORK EXCEPT FOR THE CLOCK AND RADIO. YOU CAN TELL THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN THE SALT BECAUSE IT HAS THE ORIGINAL HOOD BIRD AND PARKING LIGHT HOUSINGS WITH VERY LITTLE PITTING. THE STAINLESS TRIM ON IT IS IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION. THE VENT WINDOW FRAMES ARE ALWAYS PITTED AS THEY ARE CHROME, BUT ON THIS CAR THEY ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION, I REALLY CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW NICE THEY ARE. I DID INSTALL A NEW SEAT LEVER KNOB. (IT IS MISSING IN THE PHOTO). THE DOORS CLOSE GOOD AND THE FLIPPERS EVEN WORK AS THEY SHOULD. THE GRILL IS IN SUPER CONDITION WITH NO RUST. THE FRONT LIP ON THE HOOD IS NOT RUSTED OUT EITHER. I HAVE FRESHENED UP THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DETAILING IT NICELY. I HAVE ALSO TOUCHED UP SOME OF THE CHIPPED SPOTS IN THE PAINT, MAKING IT LOOK MUCH BETTER. ALL THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING, TURN SIGNALS ETC. LIKE I PREVIOUSLY SAID...THIS IS A GOOD CAR, BUT FAR FROM BEING PERFECT. IT HAS A LOT TO OFFER FOR THE PRICE I AM SELLING IT FOR. I WILL WORK WITH ANY FOREIGN BUYERS. I WILL REQUIRE A $500 DEPOSIT THROUGH PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HRS OF THE END OF THE SALE OR FULL PAYMENT THROUGH A BANK TO BANK TRANSFER OR CASH WHEN THE CAR IS PICKED UP. I KNOW I HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING SO PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL ME, BILL, AT 870-431-5107 WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
