Vehicle Description
The iconic shoebox Chevy shape in a cool white & red color scheme
and a superb interior makes it easy to understand why this 1956
Chevrolet 210 is such an attractive coupe. But when you look
beneath the skin and see the supercharged V8, five-speed, and
fortified components - you soon realize this is the looker that
gets out in front and stays there.
Those large 17-inch torque thrust-style wheels that tuck nicely
under the air ride suspension give this coupe a modern look, but
the truth is the bodywork is pretty much as GM intended back in
'56. And you can tell someone went to great lengths at one time to
restore it. The body looks right thanks to good investments and
that the two-door is more rigid than the hardtop. So everything
fits well and the doors shut with confidence. When you look at this
one in the sunshine, the two-tone red and white has so much gloss
and shine it reminds you of peppermint candy. But the brightwork is
the true key to this coupe's iconic appearance, and that's why
we're happy when it looks as good as this. From the bumpers, to the
jet-inspired hood ornament, to the delicate piece of trim along the
window sills that accents the color separation, it keeps all the
jewelry sparkling that makes these cars winners with the
public.
And speaking of winners, you'll feel like one when you open the
door. Some Tri-Five Chevys utilize cool original patterns for the
interior, while others go for a modern leather... but this one give
you the best of both worlds. The classic button-top and tuck-n-roll
deign is a new addition made in fresh leather. And you'll find more
solid investment in the new carpeting, microfiber headliner, and
new glass & felts. This never loses its classic-style presentation,
even when items were updated like the AM/FM/cassette stereo. And
the controller for the full air ride suspension was hidden on the
glovebox. Even the performance upgrades are period-correct. After
all, the SW tach on the steering column, the SW auxiliary gauge
trio, and the Hurst shifter are all the kind of products you'd see
on the best street machines back in the day.
But once you lift the hood, all notions of an old-school machine
are completely blown away, literally. The bold Procharger is a
modern piece that's sure to attract attention. More than just
supercharged power, this 327 cubic-inch V8 was built with the right
fortified equipment. It includes 750 CFM blow-through carburetor,
Edelbrock aluminum heads, roller rockers, Comp Cams hydraulic
camshaft, MSD ignition, Be Cool aluminum radiator w/dual electric
fans, and Eagle rotating assembly. Long tube headers add even more
power as they also contribute to the rumble of the dual exhaust.
Best of all, you have complete control over this sound and all the
fury of the supercharged V8 thanks to the Tremec five-speed manual
transmission and dual disc clutch. This sends the power to the new
Moser 9-inch Detroit locker rear end with 4.57 gears for power
take-offs. The rear end has a fortified coliover setup to keep the
wide rubber on the road. Plus, power steering, four-wheel disc
brakes, and modern Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires keep everything well
in control.
This is an awesome cruiser that respects its history in all the
right places and then adds serious performance upgrades where you
want them most. A fully built, ready-to-rumble machine like this
doesn't come around too often, so call today!
