1956 Chevrolet 210 Restomod

Description

This 1956 Chevrolet 210 knows how to be a true restomod. It's a fresh build with under 4k miles on it, and the first impression is a stunning cruise with an iconic sense of style. And as you dig deeper, you see that the interior is a luxury experience including leather and A/C. The classic small block power is maximized with a ZZ4 performance crate motor. And it's all built to be a driver with features like an overdrive transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, and a strong custom chassis.

A shoebox Chevy is already quite a cool classic, but this one takes it to a whole new level. The red is a product of modern and professional application. In fact, the build was completed only about 3,800 miles ago. So the high gloss finish is quite vibrant. It gives this coupe a touch of added aggression, and so do those 17-inch polished American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with extra meaty rear set for a nice stance. But more than upgrades, they also made sure to give the best of everything that makes this Chevy an icon. The straight sheet metal, uniform panel gaps, and doors that close solidly tell you they took the time and money to get this one better than even the factory had it on day one. That makes for the right base to showcase the legendary full-length trim that shines brightly. You see more of this outstanding shine in the mirror-like wraparound chrome bumpers, door handles, emblems, jet-inspired hood ornament, and the 1956's exclusive wide grille. It makes for an award-worthy total build.

Inside the idea was to keep it classic while also integrating the best upgrades. For example, you have two rows of classic-style bench seats. But the moment you feel the extra padding and supple leather, you know these are luxurious enough for all-day comfort. There's even added detailing, like the Chevy bowtie on the seatbacks. Everything else from headliner to trunk all follow this red theme that's all quite clean and comfortable. Part of the well-integrated upgrades means being thoughtful about how it delivers the best features. The radio is a retro-style AM/FM/cassette digital tuner w/CD changer. The power windows are controlled by classic cranks. The cup holder center console has a cohesive look on the carpeting. And the Vintage Air cold blowing air conditioning uses the factory control space. One place this does get obvious about the upgrades is when it comes to the driving experience. The chrome and leather steering wheel has a smaller diameter and a sporty feel. It's mounted on a tilt column that gives you a clear view of the white-faced AutoMeter modern gauges.

The detail-oriented build continues under the hood. You've got a solid investment in polished components, clean inner fenders, and the firewall is painted to match the body. When you look beyond the style, you'll see the substance of a 350 cubic-inch ZZ4 performance engine. It inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with added power and authority as headers feed the H-pipe dual exhaust and Borla mufflers. As you look underneath, you'll see more of the tidy look that's a telltale sign of a solid investment and freshness of this build. You'll also spot the upgraded Art Morrison chassis. It gives this Bel Air added strength, and the tubular front A-arms, four-link rear, and coilovers all around make for a much sharper handling Chevy. An upgraded machine like this wants to deliver the best driving experience, and so you also have a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, a limited-slip rear end, rack & pinion power steering, and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes.

The sale comes complete with restoration photos and build receipts. This is a custom build that will be the hit of every cruise-in and also comfortable enough to take on the Power Tour. It's the kind of Tri-Five Chevy you've always wanted, and if you act quick enough, your reward is ready. Call now!
