Vehicle Description
The automotive scene can be a fickle place. Trends come, go, fizzle
and sometimes even cycle back under the guise of "retro". While
many builders strive to create cars that offer the flavor of the
day, others use calculated observation to transform premier
classics into timeless hot rods. This clean 210 features plenty of
modern must-haves, like air conditioning, disc brakes and a smooth
700R4 4-speed. But items like a lowered suspension, a buff stroker
motor and a hearty audio system certainly underscore the fact that
the car marches to its own beat. So, if you're looking for a
razor-sharp resto-mod that's ready to attract big crowds and big
trophies, here it is!
Sure, this brilliant Turquoise pigment wasn't in Chevy's guns back
in 1955, but that dazzling 2-stage certainly looks the part on this
awesome 210! Thanks to their killer curves, members of the Bel Air
family really lend themselves to glossy skin. And this wagon's
refreshing 2-tone works perfectly with fresh chrome and new glass
to reflect clean, retro-chic aesthetics. At the front of the car, a
guarded bumper protects IPF headlights, clear parking lamps and a
polished grille. At the top of that grille, a Chevrolet-branded
hood bends around a familiar jetbird topper, leading the eye to a
factory-tint greenhouse that's founded in polished frames and
opposing RainGear wipers. At the base of that glass, classy
"Chevrolet" scripts lead traditional door handles, which complement
polished speed spears and a short antenna. And at the back of the
car, a second guarded bumper frames LED tail lamps, a polished
tailgate handle and a second colorful crest.
Pop this Chevy's peaked hood and you'll find 383 cubic inches of
stroked small block bliss. Oxygen enters the combustion chambers
through a polished K&N air cleaner, which balances a trick
bowtie spinner on a reusable filter element. A big Holley
carburetor gasses a polished Edelbrock intake, which is bolted to
hot Vortec heads that are finished with Crane Gold Race Extruded
roller rocker arms. At the back of those heads, a reliable MSD
distributor sequences MSD 6AL ignition between an MSD Blaster coil
and loomed MSD Super Conductor plug wires. Below those wires,
coated long-tube headers help create a constant stream torque. That
torque originates with a GM crank, which pushes 6-inch Scat rods
and Speed Pro flat top pistons under a Comp Xtreme Energy hydraulic
roller cam and Comp Xtreme Energy hydraulic roller lifters. Charge
comes courtesy of a fluid GM serpentine drive, which spins lucid
power steering beneath a modern AC compressor and a modern
alternator. A screened aluminum radiator flows coolant past a trick
ThermoCap, a big electric puller fan and a polished expansion tank.
And the 4-bolt mill is flashed in bright Chevy Orange paint, which
contrasts well against a color-keyed firewall and clean, Satin
Black fenders.
Combining a sturdy factory chassis with 2-inch drop spindles, this
210 provides a ride that's both comfortable and appealing. At the
center of that Satin Black skeleton, a smooth 700R4 4-speed funnels
torque to a rebuilt GM axle that's finished with 3.55 gears and a
posi-traction differential. Stops come courtesy of a Master Power
Brakes power disc conversion, which utilizes a fresh booster to
cinch two calipers up front and two drums out back. Spent gases
exit through aluminized pipes, which center an X-shaped crossover
in front of throaty Flowmaster mufflers. And all that mechanical
goodness rolls on polished Intro Hammers, which spin 225/35ZR19
Nitto NT555 Extreme ZRs in front of 255/35ZR20 Nitto NT555 Extreme
ZRs.
Open this wagon's doors and you'll find a gorgeous vinyl cockpit
that was sourced directly from Cars 1nc. Top dead center, a 2-tone
dash floats a familiar Alpine head unit between a modern clock,
modern air conditioning and sedate Classic Instruments telemetry.
Beneath that dash, billet foot pedals join TREO Engineering kick
speakers in leading slick Daytona Carpet to broad bench seats. In
front of the driver, a billet, bowtie-branded steering wheel laps a
tilting Flaming River column. And behind the passengers, a fully
upholstered hatch seamlessly integrates three more crisp TREO
Engineering speakers.
Thanks to Chevrolet's virtually unmatched popularity, the market is
full of great tri-fives. But this super sweet wagon manages a near
perfect balance of road-going prowess and show-stopping aesthetics.
Don't waste six figures and three years trying to build a classic
this nice. Call RK Motors Charlotte, sign the papers on this killer
210 and make 2019 a summer to remember!
