Vehicle Description
Tri-five Chevys are some of the most recognized and beloved
collector cars of all time. Their clean lines, tasteful trim and
excellent proportions make for handsome rides with TONS of
customizing potential. Not surprisingly, a wide array of these
trademark classics populate shows around the country, and their
builds range from correct, concours quality restorations all the
way to wild creations which exceed the performance of some of
today's fiercest muscle. Somewhere between perfected trailer queens
and temperamental custom machines, you'll find cars like this sweet
210. Glazed in a sea of cool blue two-stage, and sporting a stylish
leather interior, this hot, LS-powered resto-mod is an exceptional
cruiser that's ready for years of show and go!
CUSTOM YET FAMILIAR FLAIR
Freshly painted in 2020, this clean post sedan is the product of
acute restoration that's spent most of its time living the good
life in a controlled climate. That new pigment is wrapped around
timeless sheetmetal that's been garnished with select Bel Air
brightwork. And the result is one striking classic that builds
better-than-factory aesthetics into a crisp, head-turning
profile!
As a collector car enthusiast, you really can't go wrong with any
'50s Chevy. But for many folks, the division's '57 model
essentially perfected the art. At the front of this five-seven, a
polished grille hangs a bright Chevrolet crest and polished parking
lamps between a broad bumper and stainless-trimmed headlights. At
the top of that grille, a tall hood centers a classy "Chevrolet"
script between a Bel Air "V", polished Spear Bullet Spoons and
chip-free glass that's draped in polished frames and cleared by
polished wipers. At the base of those frames, polished mirrors, a
power antenna and traditional door handles complement a
stainless-trimmed profile that's finished with Bel Air louvers, Bel
Air Speed Spears and stylish Bel Air quarter scripts. And at the
back of the car, a second broad bumper founds Bel Air reverse lamps
under ornate taillights and stylish Bel Air trunk trim.
PROVEN LS POWER
Toss the hood and you'll find a reliable GM Generation III LS1
small block that makes miles of easy horsepower! At the top of that
mill, a remote filter element feeds a factory throttle body, which
is bolted to a proven GM intake. High octane fossils are provided
by GM electronic fuel injection. Sparks are sequenced through
familiar Denso plug wires. Spent gases get funneled through short
GM manifolds. Cooling comes courtesy of SPAL electric puller fans
and a beefy aluminum radiator, which rides a between a polished
cap, an aftermarket support and a polished expansion tank. Factory
serpentine components spin a modern compressor opposite a modern
alternator. And, aesthetically, the car's color-keyed engine bay is
clean and ready to roll, all the way from its factory oil pan to
its requisite Corvette fuel rail covers.
FAR FROM VINTAGE
Under the car, solid, body-matched floors reflect a massaged
chassis that's been thoughtfully upgraded with tubular control
arms, relocated leaf springs and a big sway bar. The trusty LS1
powers a tough 4L60E 4-speed, which rides an aftermarket
crossmember. That gearbox spins a familiar GM 10-bolt, which is
finished with 2.73 gears, 28-spline axles and a fresh posi-traction
differential that was installed by our own RKM Performance Center.
Easy turns are funneled through power-assisted steering.
Power-assisted calipers squeeze drilled and slotted rotors.
Large-diameter exhaust floats spent gases through an X-shaped
crossover and throaty Flowmaster mufflers. And all that premium
hardware rolls on polished American Racing Torq Thrust IIs, which
spin 225/50R17 Nitto NT450s in front of 275/50R17 Nitto NT450s.
CUSTOM COMFORT
Between the doors, stylish Dark Charcoal leather adds both
substance and appeal. An ornate dash wraps attractive billet trim
around digital, color-keyed telemetry and Old Air Products climate
control. Plush bench seats wear custom covers. Tidy carpet centers
a polished fire extinguisher between billet pedals, Bel Air-themed
mats and custom side panels. A modern Kenwood head unit bumps beats
through a quartet of Kenwood speakers. And in front of the driver,
a tilting column spins a polished and half-wrapped wheel.
From the local show to the local strip, this fully sorted Chevy
will impress fans and critics alike. It's a highly desirable
tri-five that's been tweaked with all the right stuff to be a fun,
head-turning cruiser. If you've been shopping for a cool classic
that you can enjoy day in and day out, your search is officially
over!
