1955 Chevrolet 210 in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

A complete and custom build of an iconic Tri-Five Chevy is already an alluring thought. So when you look over every inch of this 1955 Chevrolet 210, and start to recognize the custom paint, performance suspension, A/C interior, and screamming V8 under the hood, you soon realize that this is an award-worthy custom that's offered for a fraction of what it would cost to build again.

No one will ever mistake this for a factory machine, and the paint is a huge reason why. That modern metallic hue has the unmistakable presence of a huge investment in a modern clearcoat. So when the sunlight hits this coupe, it radiates the depth of a clear blue ocean. And this liquid-like presence is a great way to highlight all the curves that showed up for the debut year of the now iconic Tri-Five Chevys. Rivaling the paint for shine are some great custom elements like the front grille, crystal-clear headlights, and the Centerline racing wheels. You might have noticed we didn't mention the bumpers with the brightwork, and that's because they were painted blue to help give this classic a very contemporary standout presence.

Inside, the exterior blue is now joined with black for a well-coordinated and aggressive appearance. The coupe shows us why the '55s are so appealing, with plenty of original-style components. This includes the way the leather seats follow the factory pleated pattern that almost looks like a custom tuck-n-roll. These match the door panels, carpeting, and headliner for a great uniform appearance. But the best part of the design is arguably the dash. We all love the dual cowl appearance was shared with the Corvette. And while there are some nice features like the air conditioning and power windows that are designed to keep everyone comfortable, this is absolutely a driver's car at its heart. Your right hand is instantly attracted to the Hurst shifter, and your left one will love the Grant GT steering wheel. Beyond that there's a full set of AutoMeter gauges and large tach mounted on the tilt steering column. It tells you there's something special under the hood even before you twist the key and hear the roar of the dual exhaust.

That tow bar up front might have made you suspect that there is race-ready motor in this Chevy, and one look at the engine bay confirms it. The combination of the painted firewall and alloy inner fenders provides instant attraction to a very mean-looking V8. This 350 cubic-inch motor is built from a 2015 Mo-Town block that is fortified with all the right components, like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, hi-rise intake, aluminum heads, steel braided fuel line, Moroso distributor, roller rockers, and headers that enhance the power as they feel the rumbling H-pipe dual exhaust. Making sure that you are in full control of this monster motor and its thunderous symphony is the four-speed manual transmission. It feeds the stout Ford 9-inch rear end that's running 4.11 gears for power takeoffs. Also, take some time to look at the undercarriage photos. There you'll see more great upgrades like the tubular A-arm independent front suspension with adjustable coilovers, traction bars in the rear, and disc brakes at all four wheels. It's easy to see that this is a nice performance machine, but there are also great everyday features here, too, like power steering. There's even a large aluminum radiator to help keep this monster motor cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C running.

Complete with a huge file with receipts and restorations photos, this is the custom build that truly has it all. In fact, the only way this Chevy can disappoint you is if you miss out. Don't wait, call today!
