The fact that that 56 Imperial has a cast iron A-466 Torqueflite makes sense to me. All 56 Imperials after VIN 6700 got them (apparently)

I am just thinking loud...it could cost three times more to make it outstanding.

Interesting that the firewall and inner fenders are a green color, not black.
Not every car needs to be outstanding. If the body is really as decent as it looks, I would just buff it and call it good.
