This Hotrodded out 1953 Chevy 210 is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The 50’s model Chevy’s have become quite popular in the past couple years. With their distinct rounded styling and huge engine bays they make a great platform for hotrod enthusiasts. This build was intended to make a good looking amazingly powerful Hotrod at a reasonable price which they definitely accomplished. The car was really in good shape to begin with as that was one of the main requirements when building inexpensively as body work is not fast or cheap. Taken off the frame and brought down to bare metal the doghouse was actually donated from a 54 with the taillights added in as well. The stock frame was sturdy and stout with a 4 link added out back and a mustang II style upfront the ride quality of this 53 was greatly approved. With the chassis in place the next step was to build the power plant. Starting off with a 454 block, then boring it .060 over, total displacement increased all the way to 468 cubic inches. Topped off with a set of high flow aluminum heads this is unlike any 53 I have ever driven. Naturally you can’t just put any transmission behind that much power so the guys at TCI provided a built TH350. Backed up by a ford 9 inch with a locker and 3.90 gear set this thing can take some punishment. Ofcourse you are going to have to put some rubber on the pavement if you want all that power to take you anywhere. Tubbed out an additional 2 inches allows for a much larger rear tire that is not only functional but looks killer too. The interior has a cool custom feel with a set of buckets in the front that have been covered in a black vinyl with suede like inserts seperated by a gold piping they look good inside the car. The shifter is located between the buckets and is in perfect reach from the driver. If you have wanted a Hotrod that reminds people that there is no replacement for displacement this 53 will put an exclamation on that statement. Options on this 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air include; AM/FM Radio, and Aluminum Wheels wrapped in Radial Tires. This 1953 Chevy 210 can be seen, including an HD video, at www.gatewayclassiccars.com.
