Vehicle Description
There's a boldness to this 1957 Chevrolet 210 Restomod that's
instantly understood. It's in the vibrant paint and rumble of the
V8. But that's not the whole story. Dig a little deeper to see an
A/C interior, overdrive transmission, and investment in a quality
fit and finish that proves boldness can also be filled with
substance.
This Chevy grabs all the right attention. The yellow paint is the
kind of radiant application that comes when you pay for quality and
have only about 7k miles on the full build. And the investment in
this one went far more than just the smooth and bright finish. You
know a Tri-Five by its acres of chrome and stainless trim, and
thankfully all is present on this pillared coupe. It includes the
wide grille and bumper package that are the icon of the 1950s; the
rocket trim on the hood that signified the jet age; and the 210
model's correct full-length body trim, including the tailfins.
These are reasons why we all love the icon, but this one has
something more to offer. The darkly tinted windows, lowered stance,
and polished American Racing Torq Thrust alloys are a clear
indication this bold classic has some performance chops.
The custom interior takes the bright yellow and adds a supple black
to the mix. This Chevy loves to be a true classic updated for
modern cruising, and the interior really shows off that spirit
nicely. For example, you have modern front bucket seats with
body-hugging bolstering, but they also have classic tuck-and-roll
custom inserts. The side panels and rear seats are also done to
match. It's so nice inside that all your family and friends will
want to go for a ride. That's why this comes with comfortable
features such as ice-cold air conditioning, cup holders, and
retro-style AM/FM radio with aux input for your iPod. But this car
was built to reward the driver the most. You get a two-tone sports
steering wheel, a tilt column, Lokar floor shifter, and a nicely
integrated auxiliary gauge trio prominently on top of the dash.
The engine bay continues the interior's color theme. The smooth
dark inner walls make terrific details pop like the yellow engine
block, Cadillac air grabber, and the custom "Ol' Yeller" valve
covers. The Tri-Five Chevys may have launched the small block era,
but they never got anything as large as this 350 cubic-inch V8. It
inhales deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and an
Edelbrock high-rise intake. And it exhales with a sweet sound as
headers add power and rumble to the dual exhaust. There are even
nice supporting components like an aluminum radiator with an
electric fan, a March serpentine pulley system, and the battery in
the trunk for better weight distribution. It's a strong-running and
powerful package, and so the upgrade to the stout 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission is the ideal way to handle the muscle and
smoothly shift into overdrive comfort. Plus, the power steering,
power brakes, drilled & slotted front discs, and rear sway bar
really let you enjoy this restomod to the fullest.
This is the icon built to be a true classic cruiser. So don't let
this rumbling '57 Chevy go home into someone else's garage, call
today!
