This 1956 Chevrolet Handyman wagon is said to have resided in California and Iowa before being acquired by the seller two years ago, and has since been modified with a replacement 5.7-liter LS1 V8, a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission, and a CPP front end kit with A-arms, coilovers, and disc brakes. The car is finished in mint green and white over black and white vinyl upholstery, and also features staggered chrome wheels, aftermarket air conditioning, power windows, cruise control, and a Wonder Bar-style digital stereo. This Handyman wagon is offered with an owner’s guide, two keys, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in white and mint green, with the latter areas said to have been repainted under current ownership. Exterior details include a split tailgate, an antenna, and dual mirrors.
Chrome 15″ and 17″ Torq Thrust wheels wear Hankook Kinergy PT tires measuring 215/70 up front and 225/65 out back. A spare wheel is housed under the rear cargo area. The CPP front end kit features tubular control arms, disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors, and aftermarket coilovers. The rear leaf springs are also said to have been replaced, and a rear sway bar was added.
The front bucket and rear bench seats are upholstered in white vinyl with black inserts, and the door panels are trimmed to match. Amenities include a locking glovebox, lap belts, an aftermarket air conditioning system from Vintage Air, cruise control, power windows with roller handle switches, and a Wonder Bar-style digital stereo. A hole in the headliner is noted behind the passenger-side sun visor.
A three-spoke steering wheel with a horn ring frames Dakota Digital instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a clock, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The digital odometer shows 5k miles since the instrument cluster was installed. Approximately 7k miles have been added by the seller, and total mileage is unknown.
The fuel-injected 5.7-liter LS1 V8 is said to have been installed by Modern Kustoms of Melbourne, Florida. Cooling is via an aftermarket aluminum radiator, and tube headers feed a dual exhaust system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission that was installed with the engine under current ownership. Corrosion is visible in the underside of the spare wheel well.
