Vehicle Description
Beautiful two-tone on the outside, a custom A/C interior, and a
powerful small block under the hood � this 1955 Chevrolet 210 Del
Ray takes an iconic classic and fills it with everything you want
in a turnkey ready package.
This is the first year for the iconic shoebox Chevys, so it's
important to get all the details right. That's why this Del Ray
Club Coupe has a great two-tone separated by the proper trim lines.
Of course, you could never get this kind of luster and shine in
'55, and so what is grabbing your attention now is a full
professional respray that takes advantage of vivid modern
clearcoats. But it takes more than just great paint to be a
cut-above classic. All the brightwork looks like it has been
expertly maintained to make sure that the bumpers shine like
mirrors, and the panels line up so that the side trim continues
uninterrupted. But the longer you look at this one, the more you
realize it's much more than just a great-looking vintage coupe. It
has aggressive touches like the large dual exhaust tips and 15-inch
ARE wheels that hint at the enhancements found throughout the
car.
The moment you open the door, you begin to understand that the
money invested in this Chevy was not just about restoring it, but
also improving it along the way, too. Those button-top cloth seats
offer a sofa-like comfort to you and up to five passengers. When
you slip behind the factory wheel and gaze at the bright dash, this
feels like a cool time capsule. But then you see the full Dakota
Digital gauge package, and you realize this is far from stock.
Upgrades like the Ididit steering column, AM/FM stereo w/CD
changer, and ice-cold modern R134a air conditioning are the kind of
investments you'd want to do yourself, so you love to see them
already expertly installed.
Part of what makes this coupe a legend is that 1955 was the first
production year for the small block V8. That's must be why there
has been so much invested in giving the engine bay a show-worthy
shine. The only optional eight-cylinder in this inaugural year was
the 265 cubic-inch motor, and so this keeps the original small
block spirit, but has a huge upgrade. It's a 350 ZZ4 crate motor
with all the right shiny components to make you proud to take it to
car shows. But more than just displacement, it has been
performance-built with a Demon four-barrel carburetor, MSD
Ignition, and long tube headers. That means this cool classic is
putting out 330+ hp and the rumble of the dual exhaust lets
everyone know you've got some serious power. But more than just
looking great and going fast, this is an all-around thoughtful
build. You see it in everything like the tidy belts, wires, and
hoses. In fact, there's less than 2,300 miles on the whole build.
It has an aluminum radiator w/electric fan so the car can stay cool
even when you're in traffic with the a/c running. Add in features
like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and
front disc brakes, and you soon realize this iconic Chevy is a
great everyday choice.
This '55 shoebox Chevy is the classic you would build if you had
the time. But instead you get to skip right to the fun part and
this cool coupe can have you cruising this weekend... but only if
you call today!
