Vehicle Description
This 1956 Chevrolet 210 Wagon represents your chance to own not
just a classic, but a freshly restored one at that. Combine an
already classic appearance with a bevy of those new parts, as well
as a few well-selected upgrades, and you have a vintage Chevy read
to hit the road in style and ready to deliver all the performance
you'd want!
Chevy wagons of this era have been memorialized in countless movies
and it's easy to see why. That stout, sturdy exterior and long
roofline extending almost all the way to the back confer both style
and dependability, as if to say, "We've got you covered." This 210
came out of Van Nuys, CA and looks as if it hasn't seen any severe
weather or salted roads. Those areas prone to the ravages of time
have all been well-looked after, as there are new bumpers both fore
and aft, new taillights, as well as an entirely new liftgate. The
two-tone paint of matador red and white is a close variation on the
option first offered when this car was new, and it looks great
contrasted with all the fresh-looking chrome - the expansive front
grille, headlight bezels and brightwork are all at their best. It's
got just the stance you'd want - slightly inclined, but nothing
over the top. Tinted glass windows and windshield are among the new
parts and they look flawless.
The black vinyl interior is a great example of a thoughtful
restoration, accented by some upgrades to enhance driver comfort.
The bench seats in front and back are newly reupholstered, yet
retain their original configuration, and with their unwrinkled and
unworn appearance and considerable width, beckon you to bring along
your friends. The completely restored dash area is particularly
impressive - new and original features blended seamlessly across a
shiny black background. That fan-shaped cluster with a
crystal-clear lense you'll see over the newly-installed Ididit tilt
column houses gauges that are completely functional, accompanied by
a set of aftermarket counterparts situated to their right. Those
nods to driver comfort include a Vintage Air A/C system that's at
the top of its game and a Kenwood AM/FM/CD player that powers 4
speakers in that spacious interior. You'll find fresh, black carpet
throughout, including inside that generously-proportioned storage
area in the back. There's a ton of room in this cruiser!
This wagon has been upgraded with everything you'd want for
high-performance yet dependable motoring. A totally rebuilt Chevy
327 V8 sits on a set of brand new mounts in the nice, clean engine
compartment, crowned by an Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and an aluminum
intake. Bracketed by a set of Hooker headers leading out to a brand
new crossover exhaust with Magniflow mufflers, the engine runs with
exceeding smoothness. In front, a generously-sized aluminum
radiator is accompanied by an electric fan to keep temperatures
down in any driving conditions you might encounter and power
steering and front power discs will make those conditions easier to
navigate. A new 700R4 Turbo-Hydramatic 4-speed automatic
transmission (warrantied until July 2019) sits in place of the
original Powerglide. Combining a low first gear ratio with
overdrive in 4th, the 700R4 offers a virtually unbeatable
combination of off the line acceleration and low RPMs while on the
highway. A set of 5-spoke, chrome Coy wheels completes the look of
this truly eye-catching classic.
