I have for sale one of the best body 56 Chevy 210 in the country. Let me start by saying this build started with an original untouched 16,000 mile car (See photo below) I have so much documentation of the build with this car it is unbelievable, I cant even began to list it all. this car has won many many big shows like CCI and Super Chevy, Good Guys and so on and always scores at least 95 points and is driven. She has also been on the cover of several big magazines and I have them, everything goes to the new owner including all score sheets. The car now has 34,000 miles and like I say it started the build on a 16,000 mile rust free original untouched survivor.Why buy one that was a ruff car or rust bucket with new floors and panels when you can buy one that is documented like this rare find with all original GM sheet metal?This beautiful 56 has the straightest body and slickest paint that you will ever lay your eyes on, it is even nicer underneath than most cars are on top.

In fact, some folks evenclaim that if they dont take in a car show or swap meet on a regular basis, theyre likely to gothrough a nasty withdrawal process. Thats the type of experience that Indianas Robert Daywould just as soon avoid.Back in the spring of 1999, Robert was getting ready to send his restored 55 Bel Air convertibleinto the shop for a complete re-do. He knew the process would take a while-likely more than ayear-and the prospect of going through a car show season without a Tri-five was almostunbearable. So Robert decided to buy a modified Tri-five to drive for the interim. He knew thestyle of car he wanted-one that maintained its vintage lines and looks, but had such modernamenities as a strong V-8 engine, agile suspension, a comfortable interior, and air conditioning.It also needed to exhibit quality craftsmanship, just like the purple and blue 56 210 he had seenat several shows the previous summer.As fate would have it, that very 56 appeared in the classifieds of Roberts next Classic ChevyInternational newsletter. Owned (at the time) and built by Larry Surratt, it embodied everythingthat Robert was looking for. It had been built from a 16,000-original-mile car, and Larry hadspent the better part of four years making everything nearly perfect. The chassis was fullyupdated with a 9-inch rearend on Posies Super Slide springs, homemade quick-release tractionbars, Heidts dropped spindles, lowered springs, disc brakes, urethane bushings, tubular upper Aarms,and CCI rack-and-pinion steering. A 345-horse ZZ3 crate engine and 700-R4 transmissionhad been installed to provide power to the 16-inch Boyds wheels and BFGoodrich rubber.While the updated engine and chassis had given the 56 a slinky stance and plenty of power, whatreally drew Robert in was the impeccable bodywork and paint. Though Larry had started with astraight, rust-free body, he had spent a lot of time massaging it absolutely straight beforespraying the deep Portofino Blue and vibrant Iridescent Iris DuPont paint in his garage. Theinterior was almost as impressive, with leather and tweed upholstery over Grand Prix seats, acustom console housing VDO gauges, plus a Boyds wheel, a Sony stereo, and
