Vehicle Description
This 1957 Chevy 210 show quality Resto-mod was built from the
ground up using high quality workmanship and an eye for detail. It
has integrated modern technology that makes it handle like a sports
car of our current era. The car has 2,846 miles since the build was
completed in 2005. The entire build was fully documented that
includes a picture album of the process. The body is perfect with
no Bondo and has a clean smooth finish. The blue paint has a
showroom condition shine and the chrome is spectacular. It is
powered by a 468ci with a Holley750 cfm Dual Fed carburetor. It has
a Summit Racing camshaft with hydraulic rockers. The aluminum
intake is an Edelbrock Performer Dual Plane. The headers are Hedman
ceramic-metallic coated that are connected to the custom designed
Flowmaster dual exhaust system with chrome Megs tips. The
transmission is the top-of-the-line automatic 700R4 with a Lokar
shifter. The custom made Griffin heavy duty radiator and the
thermostatically twin controlled electric cooling fans was designed
for this high performance engine and for summer cruising. The air
conditioning blows cold air. The power steering is a custom Jim
Meyer design that feels tight and makes this car handle
exceptionally well compared to a modern sports car. The fabricated
front suspension with tubular upper and lower A-frames, independent
coil over shocks and rear leaf springs along with the front and
rear sway bars gives the illusion of being on rails with a great
comfortable ride. The lowered suspension gives it that tough
looking stance. The compressed air powered 4-wheel disc brakes are
custom designed for this vehicle. The custom made drive line down
to the custom assembled rear axle assembly and the Posi traction
rear end with 3.55 gears inside were specifically designed to match
the power output of the engine. The wheels are from Budnik and the
like new tires are Goodyear 215R60-16 for the front and 225R60-16
on the rear. The interior has spectacular grey leather upholstery
all around and the dash has been customized with digital
components.
