Vehicle Description
The 1957 Chevrolet 210 hardtop is iconic in its styling, and this
is a fresh build that makes sure people instantly recognize that.
But beneath the skin it carries upgrades like an enhanced
suspension, A/C interior, overdrive, four-wheel disc brakes, and a
fuel-injected V8 heart. It means that this stunner is also one heck
of a pro touring driver.
This is a build that's so fresh that there's less than 100 miles on
the odometer, and we even have over $40,000 in receipts over the
last few years documenting a huge investment in this hardtop.
That's how you get a car that looks so fresh and crisp. The trim
tag tells us this is wearing its factory-correct Dusk Pearl, but
the kind of gloss and shine this radiates is an instant indicator
of a big investment in a modern respray. And the correct Imperial
Ivory roof really shows off that pillarless profile so nicely. In
fact, the roof gives this quite an interesting situation. You can
see that this has been upgraded with the Bel Air's iconic fan-style
tailfin treatment in the full-length trim. But since this is
designated a 210 hardtop (they made less than the Bel Air hardtop)
you the Bel Air look and extra rarity to enjoy, too. And all the
rest of the brightwork has been given a solid investment during the
restoration. Everything from the freshly-dipped big chrome bumpers,
to the delicate jet-inspired dual hood ornaments all have an
award-worthy shine. And while the overall look delivers on the
legendary style that defines the American road, those upgraded
Ridler alloys also signal this coupe is ready for the modern
streets, too.
The interior is all about vintage style with the best upgraded
expertly integrated. The upholstery looks terrific from the fresh
investment. The white on the headliner, seat backs, and doors are a
direct callback to the exterior roof color. Plus, the multi-tones
of gray on the plush carpeting, cloth seat inserts, and matching
door panels add a very tasteful look while providing a darker
finish to high-traffic areas. That makes for a package that's both
attractive and ready to hop in to go for a drive - exactly what pro
touring car is all about. This also means you get the right
upgrades, like the AM/FM stereo that has a great retro-style
appearance, but it's really a modern digital tuner. And they
cleanly added a full air conditioning system below the dash. The
Budnik steering wheel may have an upgraded look and feel, but its
high-polish finish goes perfectly with the dash and trim in this
'50s style machine. And it's on a tilt column to give you an
excellent view of the upgraded gauge package.
The engine bay could win awards all on its own. It's all about
color-matched walls and polished components everywhere. But more
than just look terrific, this V8 is ready to put down some serious
power. This is GM's 5.7-liter RamJet fuel-injected crate motor
that's rated at about 350 horsepower right out of the box. Plus,
you have all the best supporting features, such as a March
serpentine pulley system, American Auto Wiring harness, and a
Champion aluminum radiator w/electric fans. This total power
package exhales through a powder-coated X-pipe dual exhaust. And
while you're checking out the exhaust in the undercarriage photos,
don't forget to look at the suspension. This fresh build is made
for modern moves with tubular control arms up front, a RideTech
four-link rear with diagonal link, adjustable coilovers all-around,
and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes. And because pro touring
means awesome all-around driving, you also have power steering and
a four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly
overdrive.
