1956 Chevrolet 210

This 1956 Chevrolet 210 is a classic Tri-Five Chevrolet that combines iconic styling with legendary small-block performance. A true eye-catcher wherever it goes, this Chevrolet underwent its restoration in 1977 and has been enjoyed as a dependable driver ever since. Originally sourced from South Dakota, the car remains a solid and attractive example that is ready to be driven and enjoyed.

One of the most impressive aspects of this vehicle is its paint. Applied during the restoration approximately 50 years ago, the finish continues to present remarkably well today and remains a testament to the quality of the work performed. It is rare to find a half-century-old paint job that still shows this well.

Under the hood is a highly desirable 1968 MO-code 302 cubic-inch small-block Chevrolet V8, the same engine designation associated with the legendary Z/28 Camaro. Recently upgraded with a brand-new top end, the engine runs strong and delivers impressive performance while still returning an estimated 20 miles per gallon. The car starts easily, runs great, and drives exceptionally well.

Additional recent maintenance includes a brand-new fuel tank, new sending unit, and a new set of tires. All lights and gauges are reported to be fully functional. Equipped with manual steering and manual brakes, this Chevrolet delivers a classic driving experience that enthusiasts appreciate.

While the vehicle does not currently have functioning heat or air conditioning, all of the components for the heater system are present and included, though not currently connected. The owner states they would confidently drive this car cross-country without hesitation, a testament to its reliability and drivability.
