My first car was a used 1956 two door Chevy Belair. It had the stock 265 V-8 with a 4 barrel carb, power pack heads and 3 on the tree. I paid $225.00 for it in 1967. What would it be worth now? I drove the car to college and dated my wife in it. We were married in 1970 but my dad didn't think it would be reliable enough so he gave me a pristine '63 Chevy Biscane in trade for my '56. The kid my dad sold my '56 to never transferred the title. The police found my "X" car in a barn with a stolen 396 in it and came looking for me. Luckily my dad was able to explain the situation and keep me from going to jail. I hope the car was eventually restored and is on the show circuit today.
