Vehicle Description
The Chevys of the mid-'50s have been revered for their cool factor
and lauded by car enthusiasts for decades, but this 1956 Chevrolet
210 restomod takes things to a whole new level. It's only logged
750 miles since a spectacular build left it a showstopper both
inside and out. From its exquisite exterior to its inspired,
opulent interior, to its array of first class mechanical
components, every detail has been covered, making this stunner the
epitome of a turn key classic.
You'd be hard pressed to find an exterior on any car, regardless of
vintage, that's on a par with the Matador red and white example on
this classic. It's got a museum-quality clarity to it that gives
the impression this iconic Chevy was ushered straight from its
restoration into a proportionally-scaled Ziploc bag to protect it
from any harm. The eye-catching paint is super crisp and very
evenly applied over an impressively straight body that exhibits
precise alignment everywhere you look, with nice even gaps between
all its flush-fitting body panels, and a hood, doors and deck lid
that likely open and close more securely than they did some 60-plus
years ago when they first assumed their places. Take a lap around
the entire car and check out the extensive collection of chrome it
features, from its conversation-piece worthy front grille to the
bumper in the back, and you'll find that there's not even a hint of
exposure to the elements. The glass on all four sides is also very
clean and new-looking, and it appears every rubber seal and stretch
of weatherstripping has been replaced.
Climb inside and you'll be surrounded by a spectacular interior,
with outstanding craftsmanship and seamlessly applied custom
touches that blend in perfectly with their surroundings everywhere
you look. The front buckets and rear bench seat are unusually
impressive - not just as far as aesthetics, but in terms of
comfort, as well. Just in front of the billet steering wheel lies a
dash area that strikes a great balance between original and
modified. It retains that signature configuration this generation
of Chevys became known for, but there's now a set of Classic
Instrument gauges residing in the fan-shaped instrument cluster,
and a series of custom vents have been recessed into the lower dash
to distribute the climate controlled work of the Vintage Air system
throughout the cabin. The spacious trunk area is in just the great
shape you'd expect based on the rest of the car - its floor lined
with matching red carpeting that stops just short enough from the
front to expose the hydraulics that control the suspension - yet
another stellar feature in a car that's chock-full of them.
This 210 may have the appearance of an automotive work of art, but
it's got streetability and power to match. A 383 cubic inch V8 sits
under the hood in a double-take inducing engine bay, ready to
supply all the performance you'd want and sounding awesome in the
process, as it breathes into its Flowmaster exhaust. While
hydraulic suspensions like the Ridetech Shockwave system this Chevy
carries aren't unheard of in top-tier classics, it's not often
they're as easily operated - the control panel sits within easy
reach in the center console. Even outstanding stopping power has
been built in, with Wilwood power disc brakes sitting at all four
corners. This restomod among restomods sits on a set of Schott
Chrome rims - 18" in front and 20" in back for a great aggressive
incline - outfitted with low-profile BF Goodrich tires.
