Vehicle Description
How do you make an icon like a 1955 Chevrolet coupe even better?
How about during the restoration you add nice suspension upgrades,
an A/C interior, and the modern heart borrowed from a fuel-injected
Corvette.
You can instantly tell this one shines a bit brighter than some of
the others. There was a plenty invested so that while this looks
period-correct, you can also tell there's something extra-special
about this coupe. It starts with the paint. This 210 coupe has a
great period-correct two-tone turquoise and white separated by the
proper trim lines. It instantly endures this first-year shoebox
Chevy to a bygone era. But just like your memories, this one
amplifies all the best pieces. After all, the factory could never
get this level of gloss and shine. But it takes more than just
great paint to be a cut-above classic. All the brightwork looks
like there has been some serious money spent to make sure that the
bumpers shine like mirrors and the panels line up so that the side
trim continues uninterrupted. It also has aggressive touches like
the large dual exhaust tips and 17-inch Coys alloys that hint at
the enhancements found throughout the car.
Perfectly complimenting the handsome exterior is a wonderful blue
and white interior. And more than just look great, this
fully-coordinated package has some great comfort upgrades like the
custom door panels with long armrests, power steering, and center
console with always-welcomed cup holders. If your starting to think
this is perfect vehicle to enjoy with family and friends, then the
upgraded AM/FM/cassette player with digital tuner and modern R134a
air conditioning should really seal the deal. But even when it's
just you going for a solo cruise, this Chevy will keep you happy.
After all, if the full gauge package didn't clue you in on the big
upgrade under the hood, then the tilt column with Corvette-inspired
steering wheel certainly will.
Look in the engine bay, and you'll see a modern Chevy icon powering
this legendary coupe. It's an LS1 V8 motor from a C5 Corvette. This
fuel-injected powerhouse was expertly installed in the super clean
engine bay, which is good, because there are going to be a lot of
eyes on this one. But more than just look great, these were rated
from the factory with 350hp. But it takes more than just a motor to
be a true upgraded classic. A large aluminum radiator keeps the
motor running optimal even if you're in traffic with the A/C
pumping. Plus, the 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission was
built to give this LS1 powerful downshifts and all-day overdrive
highway cruising. The suspension has also been upgraded to include
thick sway bars front & rear, as well as a terrific vented &
slotted four-wheel disc brake package.
This '55 shoebox Chevy is the classic you would build if you had
the time. But instead you get to skip right to the fun part, and
this cool coupe can have you cruising this weekend... but only if
you call today!
