Hey Everyone!

Looking to sell this great 56 Handyman. Recently pulled the car from storage and I've been working towards having it on the road for my own pleasure.  I've come to a place where I have absolutely no time to continue working on it. If your looking for a classic car to have as a daily driver, this is the car for you. It's far from show quality, but it's a solid 20-footer. As it sits right now, it turns over, fires, and runs. The transmission was serviced before the car went into storage around 5 years ago and the rear axle is a late 80's GM 10bolt with a 3.73:1 gearset.  There is a vacuum leak and as a result the car dies off below 1400 rpm. It has an MSD control box, coil, and distributor (vacuum advance), and all are brand new as of April 2013 as well as the water pump. It's pulling fuel through a Holley 600cfm carb with vacuum secondary and electric choke, rebuilt in April 2013. The car has an electric fuel pump in place of the mechanical and I've installed an OEM style fuel tank as the previous one needed replacing. The tank, sending unit, and mounting hardware are all brand new as of April 2013. The car is fitted with a 4-wheel power disc brake conversion kit from Classic Performance Products (CPP), and 2 inch drop spindles up front. The rear brake lines still need to be plumbed from the proportioning valve to the calipers; I have the remaining parts in storage to be included in sale. The rear lugs need adjustment; the company that installed them did a sorry job and there are some lug nuts that will not go on. There is an 18-circuit Painless wiring harness, unfortunately after a few years in storage there seems to be a draw on the system which I do not have the time to troubleshoot. The motor needs a tune-up; it burns some oil. The original gauge cluster was broken beyond repair, I've installed a set of Autometer gauges of the following types: MPH, RPM, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Fuel, and Battery. The turn indicator switch needs to be replaced in order for the blinkers to be serviceable. The car is fitted with 2 bucket seats in the front and there is no back seat. The headliner is in perfect shape and the interior walls are upholstered with a simple gray tuck-n-roll. Tires are in good shape. All of the window mechanisms work, although not perfectly. The rear bumper had been removed before I purchased it and a rollpan was installed in its place. Car is missing trim bar spanning the forward edge of the hood.

Mileage is unknown.

All in all this is a great car that just needs a little attention in just the right places to be the perfect cruiser:

Chevy 350
TH350 Transmission
GM 10bolt axle with 3.73 gears
New water pump
New MSD ignition
New plugs and plug wires
Rebuilt Holley Carburetor
Sanderson Headers, shorties
Dual, side exhaust (Flowmaster 40 series)
Transmission cooler
Aluminum radiator
4-wheel, power disc brakes
2-inch drop spindles
Painless wiring harness
Autometer gauges

Car is being sold as is. I will not ship, you must arrange pickup.

Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to sending this car off to a great new home.
