Vehicle Description
1956 Chevrolet 210
Spend any time at car shows and your undoubtedly going to hear the
phrase "Tri-Five" thrown around. This term specifically refers to
the 1955, 1956, and 1957 Chevrolets. These cars have cemented
themselves in automobile history as they are one of the most
identifiable classics on the road. There are entire clubs and even
businesses that cater directly to Tri-Five enthusiasts. They have
an iconic look that are frequently featured in pop culture and
television. Watch anything based in the 50's and odds are you going
to see those tail fins cruising around at some point. This very
nice '56 Chevy is the 210 2 door post model. It was all gone
through and rebuilt to make it not only a looker but a great driver
as well. The body is solid with no issues and wears a custom Blue
Topaz Metallic and Diamond White paint. It really comes to life out
in the sunshine where that pearl can really pop. All of the chrome
and stainless pieces are in great shape and cleanly mounted in
place. One unique design on the '56 was the hidden gas cap that is
tucked away behind the drivers tail light. This was a clever way to
keep the body clean from any gas door and it is always neat feature
to show off to those that have never seen one. The glass is all
tinted, damage free and it has raingear front wipers. It rides on a
set of classic Cragar SS mag wheels and it has a slightly wider
tire in the back. The rears are 275/60R15 and the fronts
215/75R15.
It started life as a 6 cylinder car but has since been upgraded
with a 350ci 330hp V8 crate motor. It has 5,800 miles since built
so this car has a long life ahead of it. It runs great and is
fitted with a Holley 4 barrel carburetor, chrome Chevrolet valve
covers, and chrome air cleaner. The car runs nice and cool thanks
to the Griffin aluminum radiator with both mechanical and electric
fans. It sounds great through HPC Doug's headers into 2 1/2 in
exhaust that exits below the rear bumper. Mated to the motor is a
rebuilt 350 automatic transmission that shifts smoothly with no
issues. It has 4 wheel power disc brakes with a CPP proportional
valve and the 605 power steering is also from CPP. As we mentioned
the car was set up to be a great driver and with 3:08 gears it
cruises down the highway with ease. Both the front and rear
suspension has been entirely rebuilt and it also has a new front
sway bar and rear coil over shocks. Underneath the car it is all
painted in POR-15 Black and is completely rust free with all new
floors. The gas tank was also replaced during the build and the car
was totally rewired with an EZ wiring harness.
The interior has been completely redone in Black leather with a
Glide split bench front seat. On the seat is an aftermarket console
for additional storage space and cupholders. The seats and the door
panel upholstery feature a pleated design and all are in great
shape. It also has a nice padded Black dash cover. The dash has a
mostly stock layout but has been modified with custom Classic
Instruments Danchuk Signature all in one gauges and an Autosound
AM/FM/Cassette player. An underdash Vintage air AC/Heat system is
in place and blows cold. The polished tilt steering column looks
great in front of the driver and is topped off with a 3 spoke
steering wheel. It was originally a column shift car but now has a
B&M floor shifter. Cleverly, the original gauge indicator area
on the dash has been filled with a custom "Fifty Six" stainless
piece. The trunk of the car has a nice carpeted mat and houses a
spare and jack.
This very cool '56 is ready to win trophies and get you to the show
in style. With everything that has been done on it the car is a
steal at our asking price.
