1056,
I prefer 55's to 56's and I like big blocks. However, if I had to choose between these two I would have to go with the 56. It appears to be in better shape and it does have a big block. But, the newer paint job might just be icing on a bad cake. Best to check it carefully for bondo.

Sorry, I finally had a chance to regurgitate something I learned in B-school!

Consider it an investment and a huge savings if you return without a junker. Don't throw more money away.
The 56 looks better, but I see potential for a lot of bondo under that new looking paint. Be leery and check it really well before you hand over the cash. Most sellers are not as honest as the one I met.
