Vehicle Description
Fresh out of a frame-off restoration that included the addition of
some great components and looking great both inside and out, this
1955 Chevrolet 210 Restomod is as equally well-equipped for
enthusiastic driving as it is for doing some serious damage at car
shows. Better still, it comes with the build receipts and
restoration photos to chronicle its journey to becoming the stellar
street machine you see here.
We'll freely admit that we're big fans of the Chevy 210 to start
with. They've got such a great, vintage look with their stout build
and all that chrome trim. You'd be hard-pressed to come up with a
car that better epitomizes the '50s era of vintage cars. We have to
say, though, this one here really stands out. That stare-inducing
Porsche dark green exterior looks great on a classic like this one,
and it's no ordinary paint job, but rather the result of 3
applications of clearcoat over the green base. With fresh chrome
and new-looking glass all the way around, everything about this
Chevy is just a cut above. The signature rocket-shaped emblem on
the hood actually appears to radiate, and even the badging in front
and back looks more colorful than normal. If you take a closer
look, you'll also notice that not only are all the light bezels
looking particularly sharp, but even the lights themselves appear
recently installed.
Inside, you'll find an outstanding interior matching the same high
standards you see on the outside. The black leather bench seats in
both front and back reflect obvious high quality and are the
handiwork of the renowned craftsmen at McVickers upholstery of
Lincoln, Nebraska. Just beyond the custom steering wheel sitting
atop a brushed aluminum tilt column is a dash area that's an
impressive blend of black steel and chrome trim. The stock,
fan-shaped instrument cluster housing the speedometer, temperature
gauge and fuel level is crystal clear, and it's augmented by an
assortment of Moon gauges to monitor your other motoring functions.
An AM/FM radio sporting a very era-appropriate look, as well as the
signature Chevy bowtie, sits front and center amidst an expanse of
chrome, while just below, a Vintage Air climate control system is
at the ready to keep your contingent nice and comfortable. In back,
the spacious trunk area is nice and clean, with a full-sized spare
sitting securely on the carpet-lined floor, that not only shows a
lot of fresh tread, but also sports its own aftermarket rim.
Some serious thought went into configuring the drivetrain sitting
under the hood. Built for dependable, high performance driving, it
has a new Chevy 350 cubic inch engine bored .30 over with Crower
roller rockers, cam and lifters and features Tuned Port Injection
as its foundation, offering both abundant power and reliable
performance in any kind of condition you might encounter. Mated to
a 700r4 automatic overdrive transmission with an 1800 stall and a
posi rear end with 3.36 gears for effortless, low RPM highway
motoring. Take a look below and you'll see that everything
underneath is looking impressively straight and unscuffed. This
inspired classic sits with a very fitting low and slightly inclined
stance on a set of 15" custom steel rims, outfitted with Firehawk
radials. This 210 is well equipped for driving in the real world
with power front disc brakes as well as power steering, making
navigation and stopping low-effort endeavors.
