This outstanding 1956 Chevrolet 210 Custom is total eye candy and loaded with many upgrades throughout. This car has been completely restored to show quality standards and attracts a ton of attention wherever it goes. As the VIN number indicates this car was built in St. Louis, MO. Tri-five Chevrolets are true American classic cars. This car was a four year meticulous nut and bolt frame off restoration that was completed in 2013. A binder with restoration receipts is included. Since completion it’s been driven 2,688 miles and proven to be very reliable. The car retains most of its original sheet metal throughout. The body was taken to bare metal and is very straight. The door handles and trunk lid key hole were shaved for a smooth look. They both open with a remote control transmitter that works very nicely. The car was painted House of Kolor Pagan Gold over Cinnamon and White Pearl. These colors are absolutely stunning especially in the sunlight. This was an expensive high end paint job that speaks volume. All of the glass is new and tinted throughout. All of the exterior trim has been restored or replaced to high standards including the window trim, wipers, dual mirrors, front grille, headlight bezel, front bumper, side moldings, taillight bezels and rear bumper. The car sits proudly on Boyd Coddington polished wheels that are 17” on the front and 18” on the rear. The wheels are wrapped with Sumitomo tires that are 225-45-17 on the front and 275-40-18 on the rear. The all new tan leather interior is truly amazing in every sense of the word. The upholstery work was completed by Bills Auto Upholstery who is known for award winning interior work. As documented the interior upholstery work was over $10,000.00! Some of interior work includes a suede headliner, suede sun visors, leather door panels, leather kick panels, storage console with cup holders, leather front seat with seat belts, rear leather seat with seat belts, rear shelf, carpeting and floor mats. The dash was painted the same color as the exterior and dressed with chrome. Some interior custom features include a Classic Instrument gauge cluster, Ididit chrome tilt steering column, billet steering wheel, rear view mirror, chrome door knobs, billet handles, billet pedals, Vintage Air Conditioning and a Rockford Fosgate custom sound system with speakers in the doors and rear shelf. This interior smells as good as it looks. The rear trunk was boxed and upholstered to match the interior exactly. A custom battery cover was made with easy access. A battery cut off switch and battery posts were installed underneath the car directly under the battery for storage and charging purposes. The engine compartment is highly detailed throughout and like a jewelry box. The firewall and radiator support was fabricated. The underside of the hood, firewall, inner fenders and radiator support were painted to match the exterior. The car is powered by a Jegs 350 create engine that is rated with 330HP. The engine black was painted to match the exterior. It was dressed with Edelbrock Endurashine intake, billet valve covers, billet air cleaner and March Performance Style Track front pulley system. It has custom braided lines, custom hose clamps and hidden wires throughout. The engine is cooled by a custom Griffin aluminum radiator with electric fans and billet overfill canister. The engine breathes through ceramic headers and a polished exhaust system with Magnaflow mufflers and chrome tips. This exhaust system sounds really sweet. The engine is coupled to a 700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive. The 10-bolt rear end has 3.90 gears. The car is equipped with power steering including a chrome power steering pump. The undercarriage is detailed throughout and mirror quality. The original frame was modified by Sandrail Fabricators in CA. It was reinforced for strength and powder coated for durability.
