In a segment that's packed with dreamy drop-tops and 6-figure
museum fodder, it's pretty rare to see a flashy, fully tubbed strip
warrior like this stunning 210. A killer custom that mixes storied
Detroit muscle with sublime SoCal style, this impressive Chevy
wraps a supercharged 540/3-speed drivetrain in supple leather trim
and slick pearlescent paint. If you're looking for an incredible
hot rod that's every bit as classy, and twice as cool, as a stuffy
concours car, this exceptional tri-five is primed, polished and
ready to rumble!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Possessing straight and solid lines that virtually glow under our
bright showroom lighting, this wicked 210 is the beneficiary of a
high quality, ground-up restoration that was completed roughly two
years ago. The car's thoroughly massaged fuselage has been
augmented with fresh chrome, color-keyed emblems and a full outfit
of dark-tint glass. Custom touches include LED taillights, LED
parking lamps, dual-mode HID headlights, capped wipers and a
reworked hood. And today, this awesome bowtie rolls as a fresh and
intriguing smile machine that, despite modification, easily upholds
the clean, simplistic charm that's characteristic of Chevy's
beloved 210.
ENGINE
By now, it's probably pretty apparent that this classic was built
to be seen. But, thanks to the car's 540 cubic inch supercharged
V8, that might be easier said than done! At the top of that
polished and painted mill, a shotgun-style air cleaner feeds
chromed Quick Fuel Technology carburetors, which are fitted with
braided hoses, polished fluid lines and a liquid-filled MQQN
Equipment pressure gauge. Below those carburetors, a big Mooneyham
blower funnels a perfect air/fuel mixture in to high quality Brodix
heads, which are capped with polished and etched valve covers.
Fires get lit by an MSD Pro-Billet distributor, which jolts green
Taylor plug wires. Cooling comes courtesy of a polished aluminum
radiator, which rides between a big pusher fan, a polished
expansion tank and a Mr. Gasket ThermoCap. Spent gases exit through
large-diameter Doug's headers. An array of billet pulleys spins a
coated Edelbrock water pump between polished timing components and
a chrome Powermaster alternator. And the car's glossy, body-matched
engine compartment is exceptionally well done, with items like
trick dipsticks, Allstar breather tanks and Billet Specialties hood
hinges upping the ante for both performance and aesthetics.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Not surprisingly, the bottom of this show worthy Chevy continues
the theme of pairing proven hardware with enhanced technology.
Behind the awesome engine, a tough Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed
makes good use of a narrowed axle. Turns come courtesy of modern
power steering. Speed gets scrubbed by polished Wilwood calipers,
which utilize a CPP master cylinder and proven Hydratech hydraulics
to clench drilled and slotted rotors. A large-diameter exhaust
system hangs compact cutouts in front of small resonators and large
Magnaflow mufflers. The car's body-matched frame and floorpans are
a stark contrast to a custom, Satin Black suspension, which floats
sturdy ladder bars, tubular control arms and adjustable QA-1
coil-overs under full wheel tubs. That hardware rolls on a sweet
set of chrome wheels, which spin 26x10R18 Mickey Thompson Sportsman
S/Rs, and 20x18R20 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/Rs, around Billet
Specialties spinners. And fully sorted details, like a custom oil
pan, a custom fuel tank, a Mallory fuel pump and a heavy-duty
transmission cooler, ensure this classic is capable of years of
carefree cruising.
INTERIOR
Like most ground-up builds, this 210 features a completely reworked
interior. The highlights of that leather-lined cockpit include a
custom suede headliner, custom side panels, custom bucket seats, a
custom package tray and a custom, full-length console. That quartet
of seats mixes modern lap belts with power adjustment for the car's
driver. Those side panels hang billet handles and polished accents
beneath green toppers and dice lock knobs. The aforementioned
console flows through modern Pioneer audio, a beefy TCI shifter and
stainless cupholders. At the floor, premium, green-lit carpet
floats stitched mats under billet pedals. At the front of that
carpet, a color-keyed dash anchors digital telemetry in polished,
Chevrolet-branded trim. In front of the driver, a polished and
half-wrapped steering wheel laps a polished, tilting column. And
behind the passengers, a custom-upholstered trunk hides a bit of
storage space.
