Vehicle Description
A complete and custom build of an iconic Tri-Five Chevy is already
an alluring thought. So when you look over every inch of this 1955
Chevrolet 210, and start to recognize the custom paint, performance
suspension, A/C interior, and screamming V8 under the hood, you
soon realize that this is an award-worthy custom that's offered for
a fraction of what it would cost to build again.
No one will ever mistake this for a factory machine, and the paint
is a huge reason why. That modern metallic hue has the unmistakable
presence of a huge investment in a modern clearcoat. So when the
sunlight hits this coupe, it radiates the depth of a clear blue
ocean. And this liquid-like presence is a great way to highlight
all the curves that showed up for the debut year of the now iconic
Tri-Five Chevys. Rivaling the paint for shine are some great custom
elements like the front grille, crystal-clear headlights, and the
Centerline racing wheels. You might have noticed we didn't mention
the bumpers with the brightwork, and that's because they were
painted blue to help give this classic a very contemporary standout
presence.
Inside, the exterior blue is now joined with black for a
well-coordinated and aggressive appearance. The coupe shows us why
the '55s are so appealing, with plenty of original-style
components. This includes the way the leather seats follow the
factory pleated pattern that almost looks like a custom
tuck-n-roll. These match the door panels, carpeting, and headliner
for a great uniform appearance. But the best part of the design is
arguably the dash. We all love the dual cowl appearance was shared
with the Corvette. And while there are some nice features like the
air conditioning and power windows that are designed to keep
everyone comfortable, this is absolutely a driver's car at its
heart. Your right hand is instantly attracted to the Hurst shifter,
and your left one will love the Grant GT steering wheel. Beyond
that there's a full set of AutoMeter gauges and large tach mounted
on the tilt steering column. It tells you there's something special
under the hood even before you twist the key and hear the roar of
the dual exhaust.
That tow bar up front might have made you suspect that there is
race-ready motor in this Chevy, and one look at the engine bay
confirms it. The combination of the painted firewall and alloy
inner fenders provides instant attraction to a very mean-looking
V8. This 350 cubic-inch motor is built from a 2015 Mo-Town block
that is fortified with all the right components, like a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, hi-rise intake, aluminum heads, steel
braided fuel line, Moroso distributor, roller rockers, and headers
that enhance the power as they feel the rumbling H-pipe dual
exhaust. Making sure that you are in full control of this monster
motor and its thunderous symphony is the four-speed manual
transmission. It feeds the stout Ford 9-inch rear end that's
running 4.11 gears for power takeoffs. Also, take some time to look
at the undercarriage photos. There you'll see more great upgrades
like the tubular A-arm independent front suspension with adjustable
coilovers, traction bars in the rear, and disc brakes at all four
wheels. It's easy to see that this is a nice performance machine,
but there are also great everyday features here, too, like power
steering. There's even a large aluminum radiator to help keep this
monster motor cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C
running.
Complete with a huge file with receipts and restorations photos,
this is the custom build that truly has it all. In fact, the only
way this Chevy can disappoint you is if you miss out. Don't wait,
