1956 Chevrolet 210 Pro Touring 82017 Miles Red Sedan 327 V8 5 Speed Manual

1956 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 Pro Touring Additional Info:

The iconic shoebox Chevy shape in a cool white & red color scheme and a superb interior makes it easy to understand why this 1956 Chevrolet 210 is such an attractive coupe. But when you look beneath the skin and see the supercharged V8, five-speed, and fortified components - you soon realize this is the looker that gets out in front and stays there. Those large 17-inch torque thrust-style wheels that tuck nicely under the air ride suspension give this... coupe a modern look, but the truth is the bodywork is pretty much as GM intended back in '56. And you can tell someone went to great lengths at one time to restore it. The body looks right thanks to good investments and that the two-door is more rigid than the hardtop. So everything fits well and the doors shut with confidence. When you look at this one in the sunshine, the two-tone red and white has so much gloss and shine it reminds you of peppermint candy. But the brightwork is the true key to this coupe's iconic appearance, and that's why we're happy when it looks as good as this. From the bumpers, to the jet-inspired hood ornament, to the delicate piece of trim along the window sills that accents the color separation, it keeps all the jewelry sparkling that makes these cars winners with the public. And speaking of winners, you'll feel like one when you open the door. Some Tri-Five Chevys utilize cool original patterns for the interior, while others go for a modern leather... but this one give you the best of both worlds. The classic button-top and tuck-n-roll deign is a new addition made in fresh leather. And you'll find more solid investment in the new carpeting, microfiber headliner, and new glass & felts. This never loses its classic-style presentation, even when items were updated like the AM/FM/cassette stereo. And the controller for the full air ride suspension was hidden on the glovebox. Even the performance upgrades are period-correct. After all, the SW tach on the steering column, the SW auxiliary gauge trio, and the Hurst shifter are all the kind of products you'd see on the best street machines back in the day. But once you lift the hood, all notions of an old-school machine are completely blown away, literally. The bold Procharger is a modern piece that's sure to attract attention. More than just supercharged power, this 327 cubic-inch V8 was built with the right fortified equipment. It includes 750 CFM blow-through carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum heads, roller rockers, Comp Cams hydraulic camshaft, MSD ignition, Be Cool aluminum radiator w/dual electric fans, and Eagle rotating assembly. Long tube headers add even more power as they also contribute to the rumble of the dual exhaust. Best of all, you have complete control over this sound and all the fury of the supercharged V8 thanks to the Tremec five-speed manual transmission and dual disc clutch. This sends the power to the new Moser 9-inch Detroit locker rear end with 4.57 gears for power take-offs. The rear end has a fortified coliover setup to keep the wide rubber on the road. Plus, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and modern Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires keep everything well in control. This is an awesome cruiser that respects its history in all the right places and then adds serious performance upgrades where you want them most. A fully built, ready-to-rumble machine like this doesn't come around too often, so call today!
