This amazing 1955 Chevy 210 is exactly why we dont talk in absolutes around here. For exampleand#44; if I had claimed the last 55 Chevy to come through was the nicest wed ever seenand#44; welland#44; then Id have to make up something new for this oneand#44; because its simply stunning. Not only does it help keep the hyperbole under controland#44; but it also keeps us honest. Is this the nicest? I sure wouldnt bet against it. Shoebox Chevys demand two-tone paintand#44; just like the factory intended. It tends to emphasize the chrome and trimand#44; all of which remain intact on this customand#44; restored to show condition. The colors used here are from a late-model color paletteand#44; Satin Silver over Sunburst Orangeand#44; and it really works on the 60-year-old shape. All the body panels are laser straightand#44; and the reflections in our photo studio are proof enough that someone invested the time and effort to make this one look right. All the things that make these cars great also make them a challenge to restoreand#44; and if your panels dont align correctlyand#44; youre going to see it in mismatched trim. And thanks to nearly $200and#44;000 in build costs and five years of hard laborand#44; this one measures up in every way with nary a mark on the spectacular paint. Better yetand#44; check out the shaved door handlesand#44; the cool Corvette grille insertand#44; and all the other little tricks that make this car look awesome without erasing its identity. The completely custom interior is a big step up from 1955and#44; and offers all the comforts and conveniences of a modern luxury car. Those power bucket seats are as comfortable as they lookand#44; featuring two-tone gray leather on the seating surfaces and custom embroidery to tie it together with the exterior. A custom full-length center console houses various controls for the A/Cand#44; plus speakers for the stereo systemand#44; and makes this 55 a genuine 4-seater with a pair of matching buckets in back. The dashboard has the original designand#44; but its been wrapped in trick carbon fiber accents and uses Dakota Digital gauges for a very up-to-date look. The A/C system almost vanishes under the dashand#44; yet remains effective with R134a refrigerant insideand#44; and a powerful AM/FM/CD entertainment system fills the car with sound. This car is so niceand#44; even the trunk has been fully upholsteredand#44; highlighting some very impressive electrical workand#44; the massive amplifier setup for the stereoand#44; and a remote-mounted battery. Impressive! You cant make a car look this good and not have it performand#44; so a 502 cubic inch Ram Jet V8 went under the hood. Fed by a towering fuel injection system and dressed up with awesome finned valve coversand#44; the brutally powerful big block makes great torque and is happy trundling through traffic or hammering down the interstate with the A/C cranking. It never overheatsand#44; idles properlyand#44; and delivers instant power at any speed thanks to careful programming of the fuel injection system. Its backed by a 4L60E 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission from Gearstar and its built to handle more than 500 horsepowerand#44; so no worries about big power. A 9-inch rear with 3.73 gears on a limited slip puts down the power thanks to a four-link suspension with coil-overs. Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes provide massive stopping power and you wont find many chassis that are better detailed. A custom exhaust system with cut-outs sounds fantasticand#44; and it rides on cool Foose wheels that look like a vintage Torque Thrust but handle modern Bridgestone rubber Customs dont get much nicer than this. Thanks to a pile of receipts that reach deep into six-figure territoryand#44; this is a car that you can drive anywhere with confidenceand#44; and it will still draw a crowd anywhere it goes.
