Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet 210 is all about the awesome upgrades. That
means smooth paint, a custom leather interior, cold-blowing A/C,
four-wheel disc brakes, an upgraded suspension on a stronger frame,
and an overdrive transmission. And to make it a true restomod, it's
all powered by a modern fuel-injected LS1 V8.
The glossy black paint immediately sets the car apart. The sunlight
rolls off the well-fitting panels with an almost uninterrupted
style, thanks to most trim being deleted. We're told the paint was
done around 2012, but the real indicator is that it's also claimed
that the low odometer is the total mileage since completing its
restoration. So it's sleek, clean, and only shows minimal signs of
responsible enjoyment. You can tell they took extra time with this
iconic Tri-Five just by the quality in the details, like the even
gaps, doors that shut solid, pliable weather-stripping, and clean
glass. And while some of the brightwork was deleted, it means you
appreciate the best pieces, like the wide grille, smooth
single-piece bumpers, and rocket-like side trim that zooms up the
back half of the car. And there are also beautiful details like the
clear tri-bar headlights and the clean look of the rear, thanks to
the hideaway tag. Plus, with aggressive touches like the large dual
exhaust tips and 17-inch Foose wheels, everyone knows they're in
for something special.
More thoughtfulness of the build is seen when you open the door. It
starts with the modern bucket seats in front. These have better
bolstering than anything from the 1950s for superior comfort, and
they're even finished in supple leather. The rear seats have
bucket-like individuality, too, thanks to the full-length center
console. The tan color on the upholstery is also shared on custom
door panels, plush carpeting, headliner, trunk, and even the center
console. Even a black streak runs from the dash and down through
the doors for a thoughtful touch of color coordination with the
exterior. A thoughtful restoration also meant all the best upgrades
were nicely integrated. This includes power windows, cup holders,
and cold-blowing air conditioning. The stereo is also upgraded to
an AM/FM/CD head unit with aux input, Bluetooth, and a speaker
system featuring a Kicker subwoofer system in the custom trunk. The
sports steering wheel, tilt column, and crisp Classic Instrument
gauges make for a proper driver's machine.
The engine bay is ready for primetime, and that's a good thing
because this Tri-Five has something special. This was the car that
helped launch the small block era at Chevy, and while its dominance
lasted over 40 years, the 5.7-liter LS1 took up the baron to create
a new generation of Chevy performance. So it makes for some
terrific history and power to have the LS1 upgrade neatly
integrated into this 210 with its smooth black inner walls,
polished components, tucked wires, and overall tidy style. And more
than just looking good, this was built with the right cruiser
upgrades, like a Griffin aluminum radiator, serpentine belt system,
and shorty headers feeding the dual exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers.
The motor is mated to a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission
that's great for performance kick-downs or all-day overdrive
highway cruising. And the undercarriage photos not only give you a
clean look of a comprehensive restoration, but also it shows
upgrades like the boxed frame and tubular front control arms. Add
in power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and modern
ZR-Rated sports tires, and you'll love showing off this restomod
EVERYWHERE.
Complete with restoration photos, this is the classic '55 Chevy
that has an extraordinary level of style, power, and even some
practicality. So no matter if your goal is to do the Power Tour in
comfort or have the coolest commuter, this solid custom build is
ready for everything. All it needs is you. Call now!
