Vehicle Description
A complete and custom build of an iconic Tri-Five Chevy is already
an alluring thought. So when you look over every inch of this 1955
Chevrolet 210, you'll start to recognize the custom two-tone paint,
performance suspension, A/C interior, four-on-the-floor, and a 550+
hp V8 under the hood. So this is an award-worthy custom that's also
comfortable enough for the daily drive.
The '55 Chevy is a rolling legend, and these always look awesome in
a two-tone finish. But the paint's presentation instantly
guarantees that no one will ever mistake this for a factory
machine. The blue section is borrowed from a Viper GTS, which not
only loves to radiate in the sunlight, but also hints at this car's
performance upgrades. There's an addition of Bel Air side trim That
adds to this car's iconic presence, and at the same time, it also
provides a distinct separating line for the bright white. The
bumpers were painted blue to help give this classic a very
contemporary standout presence. But that doesn't mean it missies
out on brightwork. There are sparkling custom elements, like the
billet grille, crystal-clear headlights, bumper forks, and American
Racing alloys. So this total package delivers the vintage pieces
you love on a first-year Tri-Five while also making sure it's one
of the most unique Chevys anyone is ever going to lay eyes on.
Inside, the vibrant exterior blue returns on the door tops and
dash. Now is now joined by a tasteful black for a well-coordinated
and aggressive appearance. The interior was a big part of the
restoration. In fact, there's a receipt for over $7,500 from
Mcdonalds Autotrim. It includes the seats that look and feel supple
while also given you bit of classic tuck-n-roll pattern. These
match the door panels, carpeting, and headliner for a great uniform
dark appearance. And while there are some nice upgrades, like power
windows and provisions for R134a air conditioning that are designed
to keep everyone comfortable, this is absolutely a driver's car at
its heart. The dual cowl dash is fully done with a sporty
machine-turned trim. Plus, it now contains a full AutoMeter gauge
package. The Grant GT sports steering wheel is mounted on an Ididit
tilt column, and that gives you a clear view to the large
tachometer. That last upgrade also goes particularly well with the
Hurst shifter.
You're going to love showing off the engine bay. The combination of
the painted firewall and alloy inner fenders provides instant
attraction to a very mean-looking V8. This big displacement 434
cubic-inch Motown block that has been enhanced and fortified with
all the right components. It includes an Eagle forged rotating
assembly, roller rockers, hydraulic cam, Canfield aluminum heads,
Summit 680 four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer EPS
intake, MSD ignition, and headers that enhance the power as they
feel the rumbling H-pipe dual exhaust. The full package was dyno'd
at a whopping 552 horsepower! Making sure that you are in full
control of this monster motor and its thunderous symphony is the
four-speed manual transmission. Also, take some time to look at the
undercarriage photos. There you'll see more great upgrades like the
tubular A-arm independent front suspension with adjustable
coilovers, traction bars in the rear, and disc brakes at all four
wheels. It's easy to see that this is a nice performance machine,
but there are also great everyday features here, too, like power
steering. There's even a large Fluidyne aluminum radiator and 3.00
gears in the Ford 9-inch rear. It's all part of a package that
makes it easy to drive this one in town of on the highway.
