This 1957 Chevrolet 210 hardtop mixes the instantly recognizable silhouette with muscle car upgrades, including a performance-minded big block 454 V8. So you should be glad that this icon has such nice tailfins, because that's all some people will see.While this 210 sports the trim of a Bel Air, you'll be happy to know that the 210 hardtop is actually much rarer than its Bel Air sibling. These are chrome kings, so it's always great to see bumpers that shine like mirrors. And of course it's essential for all of the intricate trim pieces to look just as good from the dual rockets on the hood, to the unbroken sweeping side pieces, to the rear tailfins. But there's something more to this iconic Chevy. It wants to announce its performance heart, and does it properly with another icon from later in Chevy's history. The Hugger Orange paint is what you want on a muscle car, and combined with the Keystone Raider wheels, you package that stands out in all the best ways.Inside more of the muscle car influence is seen as the exterior orange returns on the dash and door panels, and now combines with an interesting black vinyl. A Chevelle's interior is nicely adapted for this coupe. The high-back bucket seats offer a level of comfort that wasn't known in the '50s, and the this one has all the right touches with pieces like a center console and a three-spoke wood grain steering wheel.The shoebox Chevys might be famous for launching the small block V8s, but this coupe proves that the big blocks fit in there, too. Having a 454 cubic-inch V8 filling the engine bay would usually be enough for most people, but this one goes much further with go-fast upgrades such as a Holley four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, Mallory ignition system, electric fan, and long tube headers that feed the rumbling glass pack-style dual exhaust. So you know you've got some serious power backing up the hot rod image, and the three-speed automatic transmission is stout enough to handle it all. But more than just a motor, this build includes great driving features like front disc brakes and ladder bars on the rear suspension to help keep the rubber on the road.We all know the '57 Chevy is an icon, but this one has been given upgrades from other legendary bow ties that really make it the coolest muscle machine around. Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at a unique Chevy that's turnkey ready for fun right now. Call today!!!
