This 1956 Arnolt Bristol Roadster is powered by a Corvette V8 engine that displaces 265 cubic-inches and capable of producing 225 horsepower. There is a four-speed Corvette manual gearbox, independent front suspension with wishbone and traverse-mounted leaf spring, torsion bars to rear live axle, and four-wheel Alfin drum brakes. This car is in concours quality condition and has been drive a mere fourteen miles since completing its full, body-off restoration. It is finished in bright red. Just like all base Bolide or competition models, it is virtually devoid of chrome on the outside apart from the radiator surround and the Arnolt-Bristol badges.
