Dennis M.’s 1956

Last June, I celebrated 50 years with my 1956 Corvette. It has 67K original miles. It is a 225hp, 2 fours engine, and powerglide. It came with a power top, power windows. windshield washer, brake alarm, AM Wonderbar radio optioned car. It is Cascade Green, shoreline beige coves, shoreline interior. It was featured in Michael Bruce’s “Corvette the Sensuous American” in 1982. When I did the frame off restoration (1975-1976) there were no reproduction parts available. I used NOS or the original parts. It has had the original hub caps since new. Most Corvettes in that era got some type of aftermarket wheels. I am the second owner, and I had the fortune of buying the house next door to the original owner several years after buying the car. It has won many car show awards and the color always brings the people to see it. Don’t ask me what I paid for the car.

One Off-Lister Inspired, Corvette Powered,
Hand Fabricated Alloy Bodied,
1956 Sports Racer
Debuts here in Anaheim!

265ci Dual Qual V8, 4-Speed Manual!

This unique, custom-built sports racer features an aluminum body mounted on a 1956 Chevrolet Corvette frame and running gear. Originally registered in Pennsylvania in 1961 as a “Lister Chevrolet” with a Special Number Plate, it now carries a California title using the 1956 Corvette VIN stamped on the frame. The Pennsylvania brass tag remains affixed to the firewall.

This one-off body, constructed by a craftsman builder from circa 1961, includes a tubular frame substructure and roll bar. It is presumed to have been used for hill climbs or amateur racing, though limited research has not confirmed its race history. The car was acquired by its owner in 2017. And at that time was in bare metal. The ownership history is documented since 1983. The previous owner enlisted Panel Crafters (Joe Stafford) of New Hampshire to restore the aluminum body and sourced a period-correct engine block, heads, intake, and dual carburetors. At that time, the car was powered by a Buick nailhead engine, paired with a 3-speed Ford truck transmission..

Under its owner’s guidance, a professional restoration by Dog House Restorations of Watsonville, CA, commenced in May 2021 and spanned over three years. Major work included re-restoring and painting the aluminum body, installing a later model Muncie 4-speed transmission, a new wiring harness, converting the front suspension to a Martz bolt-in subframe with disc brakes and rack and pinion steering, and adding a custom 20-gallon fuel tank and fuel system. Additional modifications comprised a custom grille, subtle body modifications, a new exhaust system, a full set of Smith gauges, Halibrand-style 5-bolt wheels with period-correct tires, new master cylinders, and rear drum brake systems, a cut-down windshield, a Mercedes-style hood locking system, aircraft-style flooring mat, vintage-style Porsche rearview mirror, and a fully custom leather interior.

The car comes with extensive documentation dating back Decades, including four binders of recent restoration photos and receipts. Notably, this car is the 2023 Quail Motorsports Gathering Custom Coachwork Category Winner!
