How do you make an icon like a 1955 Chevrolet 210 coupe even better? How about you restore it with an instantly memorable color combo, add a custom A/C interior, and the modern heart borrowed from a fuel-injected Corvette.
This car is unmistakably a custom from the moment you first catch sigh of it. After all, Chevy was never offering this kind of well-coordinated Dark Blue and Dark Silver Metallic straight from the factory. But it's more than just the modern metallic paint that grabbing all your attention. They took the time to get this bodywork correct before even the first drop of sliver or blue was laid down. That means the kind of total presentation where the light evenly runs across the entire car. All the brightwork looks like it has been expertly maintained to make sure that the bumpers shine like mirrors, and the iconic trim provides a crisp dividing line for the two-tone. And with the aggressive touches like the large dual exhaust tips and 15-inch Unique wheels, everyone knows they're in for something special.
This might be an iconic classic, but the moment you open the door, you see a very modern level of comfort. The Winter White shine bright, and with less than 2,300 miles on the whole build, there hasn't been time to even wear in the seats. Besides, with marine-grade materials, this stunning presentation will be here for plenty of years to come. The custom center console, seats, door panels, and even the trunk are a fully coordinated package that's sure to draw attention. Factory elements like the Corvette-inspired dual cowl dash let you know you're driving a classic '55, and it looks terrific painted with the same slick gloss blue of the exterior. This vintage look is joined by plenty of luxury and performance upgrades. The nicely integrated AM/FM stereo with an aux input and the ice-cold R134a air conditioning are features everyone will love. But the Grant GT steering wheel, power steering, and VHX full gauge package are treats reserved just for the driver.
Look in the engine bay, and you'll see a modern Chevy icon powering this legendary Chevy coupe. It's a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 motor from a C5 Corvette. This fuel-injected powerhouse was expertly installed in the super clean engine bay, which is good, because there are going to be a lot of eyes on this one. But more than just a great appearance, these were rated from the factory with 350hp. And all the right investments were made in supporting components, too. A large aluminum radiator keeps the motor running optimal even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping. Plus, the 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission was built to give this LS1 powerful downshifts and all-day overdrive highway cruising. The suspension has also been upgraded to include front disc brakes and thick sway bars front & rear.
So are you starting to see the full picture? This is the classic '55 Chevy that looks terrific inside and out, and it has the right upgrades beneath the skin to be both powerful and nimbler. So no matter if you're goal is to do the Power Tour in comfort or have the coolest commuter, this solid custom build is ready for everything. All it needs is you. Call today!!!
