More about this car
This 1956 Chevrolet Corvette was constructed as a continuation B-Production race car by two-time SCCA West Coast Champion Paul Reinhart. It features a 1957 Corvette body mounted on a 1956 chassis, and the build is said to incorporate preserved race-spec components from Reinhart’s championship-winning 1957 race car. Finished in purple with orange accents, the car is powered by a destroked small-block 292ci V8 with dual Carter carburetors linked with a Super T-10 four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential. Additional equipment includes a roll bar, a fire suppression system, polished 15″ wheels, heavy-duty drum brakes, and QA1 adjustable rear shocks. This Corvette race car is now offered by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, on consignment with service records, log books, historical documentation, spare parts, and a clean Washington title. Reinhart raced this car in vintage events in the 2000s, which included eight race appearances at the Monterey Rolex Reunion. This car was also displayed as part of the Corvette exhibit in the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Log book entries, race results, programs, and articles featuring the car are shown in the gallery.
