BODYWORK/TRIM

Showcasing timeless Chevrolet lines that are draped in resolute green and silver paint this fantastic 210 is the beneficiary of a high quality frame-off restoration that created one chic classic. After spending many years rolling down the road as a bone-stock bowtie the cars solid body was shipped to a professional shop for a high dollar overhaul. Once completely stripped and thoroughly worked that bodys panels layered smooth base under tough clear. And today this slick resto-mod is right at home turning heads on the road OR logging points at the show!

Not surprisingly this Chevys dynamic pigment creates a fabulous foundation for a select array of mirrored bolt-ons. At the front of the car a smoothed bumper frames a polished grille LED parking lamps and modern headlights that sport stylish halos. At the top of that grille a smoothed hood flows to smoked glass which seats polished wipers beneath polished frames. At the base of that glass a silky profile centers shaved doors behind 56 210 trim spears. And at the back of that profile a smoothed and tucked bumper splits the difference between a requisite trunk crest Magnaflow exhaust tips and LED taillights that hide a relocated fuel filler.

ENGINE

Gaze upon this sedans body-matched engine bay and youll find 6.2 liters of small block fury! Officially known as the Chevrolet Performance LS376/480 that $8438 crate engine twists respectable 10.7 to 1 compression into 495 horsepower and 473 lb./ft. of torque. At the top of the block a monochromatic air tube funnels wind in to a proven GM throttle body which feeds a lightweight GM intake. That air meets spark in rectangular-port L92-style heads which ride under body-matched coil covers. A nodular crank powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons compress that volatile union. A racing-inspired LS Hot Cam maximizes intake efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of breathing the smooth mill funnels spent gases through coated long-tube headers. Theres a polished PRC radiator thats slid between a polished support polished fluid reservoirs a polished condenser and spry SPAL puller fans. Polished serpentine components spin a polished alternator opposite a polished AC compressor. Quality Infinity Box wiring combines with stainless fluid lines a Powermaster XS starter and fresh AC Delco plug wires to detail otherwise purpose-built performance. And as you likely deduced from our high-resolution photos the all-aluminum mill rolls in a detailed frame thats finished with billet braces Eddie Motorsports supports and a smoothed firewall.
