1956 Chevrolet Nomad, Pro Touring, Corvette Suspension, New Chassis
1956 Chevrolet Nomad
Up for auction is my 1956 Chevrolet Nomad.I have owned the car for a 7 years and begun a flawless Frame-off “Pro Touring”/ “Daily Driver” restoration. The Nomad has been built to appear close to a stock 1956 Chevy Nomad but drive, handle as aggressive as a modern Corvette.
This feat was accomplished by mounting the original body onto a brand new Computer Assisted Designed (CAD) “Nerd Rods” Chassis featuring Computer Numeric Control (CNC) laser cut tubing and plate that integrates the modern Corvette suspension and drive train components.
The complete rear and front Corvette suspensions were disassembled and rebuilt using only the top brands like Moog, Energy, Timken Etc.Media blasting and Bodywork, were done at a top rated shop in the state. The Rear end rebuild, new gear install, and front and rear suspension installs were also installed completed by a Corvette specialist in the state. Contact information for those businesses is available upon request.
Below I have listed just some of the highlights and parts however many more parts are included in this auction. Just ask.If you are interested in the Nomad and would like additional information or pictures please call, message or email me. I will respond as soon as possible. I am also able to face time or Skype to show the Nomad or give detailed videos of any given part or area or just a video tour of the car.If you are in the area or are interested in viewing the nomad in person I can also accommodate that request.
Please note the Nomad is sold as is with no Warranty written, expressed or implied. Good Luck Bidding.
