Vehicle Description
Two shades of green on the outside, a comfy A/C interior on the
inside, and serious V8 muscle under the hood - that's what this
1956 Chevrolet 210 is all about. So when you can get one of the
most iconic designs already customized the way you want it, and all
for an obtainable price, then you know this is something
special.
This one proudly wears its factory correct 210 two-tone color
scheme, which is a good thing since these were far rarer than Bel
Air coupes. Pinecrest Green and Sherwood Green is a very cool
factory-correct color combo, but what really steals the attention
on this one is the brightwork. The side trim sweeps from front to
tail, and you can tell this is a quality package by the way these
full body lines run uninterrupted. Plus, the bumpers, taillights,
window trim, and the unique to '56 grille also shine bright enough
get plenty of attention. And it's all finished off with a classic
set of American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. These are a great way to
keep the vintage look while also telling car people that there is
something special under the hood (more on that in a moment.)
Inside, the green and white is factory-correct, and it artfully
mixes the two-tone presentation throughout the entire coupe. But as
you look at the seat inserts, door panels, and carpeting, you can
tell this is far plusher and fresher than anything that came out in
'56. In front of you is a performance three-spoke steering wheel,
and beyond that is the vintage dual cowl dash. As you gaze across
this, you'll see upgrades like knob-style AM/FM radio with digital
tuner, auxiliary gauge trio, and controls for modern R134a air
conditioning. Are you starting to get the full picture on this one?
It has a great vintage appearance, but it's subtly upgraded
everywhere for everyday comfort.
The Tri-Five Chevys were the dawn of the small block V8, but they
were never given anything as powerful as this. The motor is a total
performance build that starts with a 355 cubic-inch V8 high
performance block. It has been fortified and enhanced with top
components that were all tested before installed. This includes a
double hump fuelie heads (461 casting), TRW flat top pistons,
Sealed Power rings, Clevite 77 bearings, X-rods, Duntov Corvette
high performance solid cam, Crane hardened pushrods, roller
rockers, and much more (call for all the details.) So when this V8
fires up, you know there's plenty of growl out of the H-pipe dual
exhaust. But on a classic that's also built to cruise comfortably,
you'll be glad to have features like the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.
Complete with reproduction window sticker, here's one of those rare
cars that celebrates its history, while also squarely keeping its
eye on the future. But while this one is ready to show off near or
far, the only way you can do that is if you call today!
