1955 Chevrolet 210

Description

We love the sleeper style of this 1955 Chevrolet 210. It has the classic Tri-Five look, but the full frame-off restoration also got this one upgraded with a hot small block and four-on-the-floor. So you have an icon that's both fresh and fast.

The full restoration was only completed about two years ago and there have been less than 250 miles on the build. You'll notice a fresh style on the whole car, but it also clearly wants to go a bit incognito. This feeling starts with the paint. The color holds close to 1955's Harvest Gold. It has a nice gloss in the sunshine, but it doesn't want to look overdone so that others will suspect the beast within. In fact, it has a true sleeper style where you have to pay attention to spot the upgrades. The dual exhaust tips are large but not obvious, and the upgrade to Rally wheel trim looks a touch like the classic package thanks to color-matched wheels on the inside. The rest of the car is just pure classic '55 Chevy cool. Big chrome bumpers, a distinct grille, a jet-like hood ornament leading the way, and artful sweeping side trim make for an iconic way to cruise.

The interior was also given a detail-oriented restoration. It feels like they turned back the clock inside with the fresh seats, door panels, headliner, carpeting, and the other fundamentals. It really looks good, right down to the little things, like the shining door handles and working dome lights. Even the upgrades are well-integrated with the seatbelts and an AM/FM/XM digital tuner that still looks like the classic Wonderbar radio. You'll love to slip behind the artful vintage steering wheel. However, upgraded AutoMeter auxiliary gauges, Hurst shifter, and handy column-mounted tach all let you know this classic car has something quite special under the hood.

When you lift the hood, the tidy setup and color-matched yellow inner fender walls funnel your attention to the V8 heart in the middle. We all know the Tri-Fives as the car to launch the legendary small block motor, but they were never given anything as large as this 350 cubic-inch unit. And the upgrades don't end there. It has been bored .30 over and built with mild cam. And there's also a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a Holley intake, and an aluminum radiator to help keep the full package running cool. It fires up with a good growl as long tube headers add power while feeding into a dual exhaust with Flowmasters. You are in complete control of this enhanced powerhouse with the four-speed manual transmission featuring a new clutch, pressure plate, and bell housing.

The sale comes complete with build receipts and maintenance records. You're looking at a distinct, fresh, and fun build. So if you love a sleeper that's also an icon, don't miss this Chevy. Call now!
