Greetings from Frisco, Tx
Hi All,
Never thought I'd do this, but just bought my first vette; a red '56 with dual quads. It's in really good shape and runs good. Needs some work, but since I'm retiring next month, that's one of the reasons I bought it. I owned a '67 Chevelle SS back when I was a teenager.
Can't wait to start enjoying her.
Thanks,
Nick

What a great looking '56 - very cool that it has the dual quad engine. Congrats on picking up the car and welcome to the forum.
