Location: So. Cal | If you don't want a fully restored car, here is a project for you. Some assembly required. 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/192736293468?ul_noapp=true
1956 DeSoto Firedome Seville 2dr Hardtop Convertible, 330 V8 Hemi with Overdrive. 4BBl Carb,
3 speed, column shift transmission.
Front fenders and wells have been reworked. Has all glass intact except windshield. Needs full
restoration, but is a unique car, so will not part it out. Has several extra parts. Front suspension and
brakes were reworked several years ago. I have not driven this car since the early 90s, but it has been
stored indoors since then.

Location: Lower Mainland BC | For $11,500 or less, could I make that "project" into this?
(From yesterday ( https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/d/1956-desoto-firedome-sev... )
 
I don't think so.  |

And free parts and free paint, etc. etc.??
I think the LA 56 Desoto is a much better deal.

Location: So. Cal | With original overdrive too. Did all Fireflites come with 4bbl and dual exhaust in '56, or was it an option for all of them? All the New Yorkers had 4bbls starting in '55. Windsors got 2bbls unless you ordered it otherwise. |
