1955 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Custom
Restored from a dry California example with a pedestrian 6-cylinder
engine, this stunner was hand crafted into a beautiful classic with
modern performance and an eye-catching paint scheme that screams
‘look at me!’ The NOS fenders and a new hood completed the new
metal necessary, while under the hood is a professionally rebuilt
350 cid Vortex V-8 fitted with custom headers and a glass pack
exhaust. The Cadillac 700R/4 transmission with overdrive allows
effortless freeway driving, while the air shocks provide a
dream-like ride. American Racing Mags are the perfect touch, but
the 100 mph flames are the literal cherry on top of a perfect
sundae. Disc brakes offer great stopping power and the custom black
Naugahyde interior is a sight to behold, especially with the sound
system with CD player, custom steering column and wheel. A real
delight, this is a perfectly sorted hot rod that can be driven
anywhere in the country without concern.
Auction Estimate: $27,000-30,000
The owner states:
"When I was younger, I made a list of cars I wanted to have.
This car was #4 on that list and is a car I that I wanted when I
was in high school. Of course, I didn't have any money then,
but when I got older and was able to afford it, I bought this car
out of California and had it shipped to Utah. Originally it
had a 6 cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. I
pulled these out and installed a 350 Chevy with a Cadillac 700R4
transmission with overdrive. I installed disk brakes on the
front. Being from a dry climate, it had very little
rust! The front fenders are N.O.S. with a new hood. It
has 60's style Mag wheels. The car is painted red and white
with 100 mile an hour flames pinstriped in blue. It has an
Ididit tilt steering column with a custom steering wheel with flame
inserts. It has a CD stereo system and Black Naugahyde
interior. The side windows and rear windows are tinted.
This is an old school hot rod!"
He also states: "I am getting older and I have a bunch of
cars. I don't want to sell any of them, but don't want my
wife and kids to have to worry about them. This is just
tearing my heart out!"
