Vehicle Description
Like fashion, the collector car market is cyclical. But, like
fashion staples, there are some cars that never go out of style.
For instance, you just can't go wrong with a comfortable pair of
jeans. And likewise, you'll always be admired when you pull up in a
slick tri-five Chevy. Back in 1955, at a division that was
struggling to make its car relevant to American youth, no one would
have guessed that 65 years later we'd be regarding clean Bel Air
resto-mods in the same way we admire timeless stalwarts like V8
Mercs and '32 Fords. But alas, great design endures. And when great
design is mixed with modern technology, it's a sure-fire bet for
success! Featuring an impressive roster of components, a custom
interior and a reliable GM small block, this spectacular 210 was
built to provide a lifetime of memories. And if you've been
searching for a striking Chevy showpiece, but want something that's
a heck of a lot more fun than a stuffy restored-to-original car,
it's a do-anything cruiser that simply can't be beat!
STAND OUT FROM THE STANDOUTS
A universally loved classic that's benefitted from a detailed,
body-off restoration, this impressive 210 rolled straight out of
the shop and right up to the show! Naturally, that reboot began
with solid metal that was stripped completely bare. Once that
profile was scrutinized and adjusted until it was as close to
perfect as it could get, vivid red base was buried a glossy coat of
clear. And the result is one timeless Chevy that displays
better-than-factory fit under a spectacular, head-turning
finish!
As a collector car enthusiast, you really can't go wrong with any
'50s Chevy. But many folks cherish the outrageous swagger of the
division's '57 model. At the front of this five-seven, a familiar
gold grille hangs a legendary bowtie crest between hooded
headlights, small parking lamps and a stylish, wraparound bumper.
At the top of that grille, a rolled hood centers polished Speer
Bullet and Spoons between Bel Air header dressing and bent glass
that's draped in polished frames. Those frames float amid polished
wipers, factory mirrors and a polished factory antenna. A "Bel Air"
branded profile stretches graceful speed spears between Bel Air
louvers, guarded door handles and conservative rocker shields. And
at the back of the car, a second stylish bumper frames more Bel Air
gold and bowtie-branded taillights.
THE SMALL BLOCK OF SMALL BLOCKS
Hoist this Chevy's long hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of
polished small block that's wedged inside a clean, highly detailed
frame. At the top of that mill, a polished Chevrolet air cleaner
hoists a trick Chevy wing nut above a fresh Spectre filter and a
big Edelbrock carburetor. Under that Lokar-controlled 4-barrel, a
polished Edelbrock Performer EPS intake feeds Edelbrock Performer
RPM heads. Those lightweight heads tilt polished Chevrolet valve
covers between tall Chevy ties, a polished Chevy breather and
coated block hugger headers. At the back of those tubes, an
aftermarket distributor sequences fire between a polished coil and
loomed Moroso Blue Max plug wires. In front of those wires, billet
pulleys join billet brackets to spin pliable V-belts around a
polished alternator, a polished AC compressor and a polished water
pump. A polished core support centers a polished Griffin radiator
in front of SPAL puller fans. And details like a polished latch,
polished block-off plates, trick dipsticks and a quality Wilwood
master cylinder reflect a clean red engine bay.
THE ART OF RESTO-MODDING
Bottom-side, straight and solid floors have been over-restored to
match this Chevy's slick shell. The proven 350 powers a cooled
700R4 4-speed, which spins a factory axle that's finished with an
open differential and sporty, 3.31 gears. That drivetrain rides a
lightly massaged chassis, which backs modern power rack-and-pinion
steering. Short stops are provided by familiar discs and drums.
Aluminized exhaust cages welded, dual-chamber mufflers. And power
meets the pavement through chrome Coys wheels, which spin
235/40ZR18 Ventus Sports in front of 275/35ZR20 Ventus Sports.
CUSTOM COMFORT
Not to be outdone by the car's striking paint, this Bel Air's
custom leather interior is a soothing study in style and class. At
the front of the cockpit, a glossy dash frames bright Classic
Instruments telemetry above modern, direct-fit audio. A small
console centers two cupholders behind bowtie-branded air
conditioning vents. Broad bench seats sail a sea of body-matched
carpet, which contrasts stylish billet foot pedals. Custom side
panels front modern power windows. And the driver loops a
body-matched steering wheel around a polished, tilting column.
Tri-fives are American icons, and this crisp 210 puts a highly
unique spin on familiar lust. What's better: the car's workmanship
is outstanding, providing an active enthusiast with a cool cruiser
for much cheaper than any ground-up build. If you're looking for a
fully-sorted classic that's comfortable, fulfilling and
aesthetically exhilarating, this polished Chevy is your hot
ticket!
