HELLO RARE '56 NOMAD LOVERS,
A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A RARE '56 NOMAD THAT IS RUST FREE AND A ORIGINALCORE NOMAD. THE CAR IS A COMPLETE MATCHING NUMBER CAR WITH ONLY A COLOR CHANGE IN A REPAINT FROM THE 1980'S. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE THEN WITH ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES SINCE 1985. (92,885 2-6-1985) THE CAR WAS A ORIGINAL RARE COLOR COMBO TWO TONE SHERWOOD GREEN METALIC AND INDIA IVORY. THE INTERIOR WAS A TRI-TONE GREEN WITCH IS UNDER THE RECOVERED CURRENT BROWN INTERIOR / DOOR PANELS AND SEATS. CARPET IS OLDER BLACK CARPET AND THE HEADLINER LOOKS TO BE GOOD ORIGINAL WITH MINOR DISCOLORING HERE AND THERE. THE SEATS ARE GOOD AND THE MATERIAL IS 70'S TUCK AND BUTTON PATTERN WITH TOUGH WEARING BROWN VIYNAL PATTERN. IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR DRIVER AND NO MAJOR RIPS OR WEAR. SOME BUTTONS NEED RETUCKED. THE REAR CARGO AREA IS GOOD AND HAS LATER CARPET IN THE FLOOR AREA WHERE LAMANENT WAS FROM THE FACTORY. THE TAIL GATE STILL HAS LAMANENT ON THE GATE.
THE MOTOR RUNS STRONG AND IS ORIGINAL WITH MILEAGE AT 99,900. 265 V8 WITH A 2 BARREL AUTOMATIC POWERGLIDE. THE MOTOR IS VERY RESPONSIVE AND NO BAD LEAKS OR ISSUES. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GOOD AND HAS GOOD PASSING GEAR RESPONSE. FLUIDS CHANGED AND ARE CURRENT. RADIATOR IS GOOD AND ORIGINAL WITH CODES. REAR END IS GOOD, NO NOISE. JUST A GOOD CARED FOR CAR OVERALL.
WOULD BE A GREAT CANDIDATE FOR A HIGH DOLLAR FRAME OFF CAR 56 NOMAD. THIS DUE TO THE FACT IT IS A ALL METAL CAR, ORIGINAL SHEET METAL TOP TO BOTTOM. FLOORS BRACES AND SUPPORTS ALL SOLID AND IN GREAT CONDITION. DOOS AND GATE ALL SOLID SEAMS AND NO RUST. TAILGATE HAD A BUMP IN THE PAST THAT WAS ADDRESSED WITH FEATHERING BONDO ONLY THAT IS ALL, NO RUST!
GLASS IS ALL GOOD EZ-EYE GREEN TINT, LOCKS OPERATE GOOD DOORS OPEN CLOSE NICE. CHROME BUMPERS ARE IN VERY NICE ALMOST SHOW QUALITY CONDITION,THE STAINLESS IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR ORIGINAL, WITHNO MISSING PIECES. POT METAL IS OVERALL GOOD DRIVERS QUALITY, SOME HAVE SOME SMALL SPECKELS HOOD BIRD HAS BEEN REBUFFED AND IS THE MOST BLEM-ED. WEATHERSTRIPS ON DOORS AND TAILGATE IS NEEDED SOON, BUT SOME IS STILL THERE, BUT NOT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. SOME QUICK LOW COST UPGRADES WOULD DO WONDERS FOR THIS CLASSIC
PAINT IS A OLD REPAINT BUT IS GOOD ASAPPLIED AND THE BODYWORK PREP WAS DONE RIGHT, A VERY STRAIGHT CAR! JAMS WERE ALL DONE AND HERE IS SOME SPOTS SHOWING OLD COLOR. WAS GREEN IVORY THEN SILVERBLUE IVORY THEN CURRENT COLOR, (ORANGE-ISH RED) MATADOR RED / IVORY TWO TONE.
NOTE: THE LIFT GATE UPPER WINDOW IS THE ONLY PART OF THE CAR THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED. IT HAS HAD THE BEND FROM THE NOMAD CHEVROLET LIFT TORSION RODS. (NOMADS BIG DESIGN FLAW ISSUE) THIS CAN BE FIXED, BUT REAR WINDOW FRAME WILL NEED SENT OUT TO REPAIR SPECIALIST IN CA.
