1955 Chevrolet 210

Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1955 Chevrolet 210 Restomod. Imagine turning heads in this stunning 1955 Chevy Two-Ten a bone-stock body on the outside with a full-blown racecar beating at its heart. This Tri-Five has been transformed into a modern muscle car, meticulously rebuilt from the ground up. Underneath its perfectly polished cream pearl tri-stage paint lies an all-new 572 ci Chevrolet big-block V8, quietly tuned to 590 horsepower. (The factory ZZ572 crate from Chevrolet Performance is rated at 621 hp.) Every bit of the engines bottom end is built to last: a Callies DragonSlayer forged-steel crank and Oliver Racing chromoly I-beam rods (with proprietary Parabolic Beam design) deliver maximum strength and durability. An Edelbrock single-plane intake feeds a 950 CFM Holley Ultra XP carburetor for instant throttle response, while an MSD ignition system ensures crisp, reliable spark. All that power is sent through a stout Freddie Brown Racing 700R4 automatic transmission (with 4L60E internals and overdrive) so you can cruise comfortably at highway speeds. A heavy-duty 9-inch Currie rear axle (3.73:1 Posi-Traction) with full four-link coilover suspension tames the power and plants it firmly on the pavement.

No detail was spared in the build of this 210s drivetrain. The 572-cu in big block is a monster torquey crate engine, rated to produce over 620 hp (about 600+ lb-ft torque). It uses robust forged internals forged-steel crank and rods with forged aluminum pistons just like a race engine. The Callies DragonSlayer crank is machined to sub 0.0003 tolerances for extended bearing life and trouble-free operation . Olivers chrome-moly connecting rods (aircraft-grade E4340) feature a patented Parabolic I beam design for the highest strength-to-weight ratio , meaning you get maximum strength without unnecessary weight. On top sits aluminum Edelbrock Performer heads and intake, paired with a Holley Ultra XP 950 CFM four-barrel carb a recipe for instant response and big airflow. The result is immediate throttle and plenty of grunt for any driving situation.

Power is handled by a bulletproof Freddie Brown Racing 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission. The 700R4 (rebuilt with 4L60E trans internals) is designed to handle the torque of large big-blocks, giving you smooth shifting and an extra tall gear for freeway cruising. A heavy-duty torque converter helps launch this car with authority, and a certified driveshaft loop adds safety confidence at any speed. Behind, the car wears a Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.73:1 gearing and limited-slip (Positraction) differential so it can hook up and put the power down even in low traction.

Stopping performance is equally impressive. All four corners have modern disc brakes: multi-piston Wilwood calipers clamp down on slotted and drilled rotors The dual-circuit brake system uses a Hydro-Boost power brake booster to ensure featherlight pedal feel and confidence under hard braking. Adjustable coil-over shocks and tubular four-link suspension in the rear provide superb handling and ride quality this 55 sits low but rides firm, with power rack-and-pinion steering up front for precise control. In short, it handles like a sports car despite its classic look.

On the outside, this Chevys timeless sheetmetal is laser-straight, fully smoothed and free of rust. The three-stage cream pearl paint shines like liquid glass from every angle. Attention to detail is obvious everywhere: the undercarriage and engine bay are beautifully finished and color-matched, the bumpers and trim are chrome-plated to a flawless mirror finish, and modern elements like tinted windows and a tilt steering column blend seamlessly. The stance is aggressive and modern giant 20 inch wheels in the rear and 18 inch up front fill the fenders for a classic raked look. (Imagine the payoff when this beauty rolls slowly into a show or cruise the paint and stance alone make a powerful statement.)

Open the doors to a luxurious yet purposeful cabin. The bench seat is reupholstered in cream leather with a fold-down center armrest, matching the exteriors warm tone. All trim pieces have been restored or upgraded: the column is painted to match and topped with a Grant leather-wrapped steering wheel. A Hurst quarter-shifter emerges from the painted center console, poised for precise gear changes. Behind it, a suite of Dakota Digital gauges (custom-color faces) provides crisp, easy-to-read instrumentation. All the modern conveniences are here: Vintage air conditioning keeps you cool, power steering makes tight turns effortless, power windows add convenience, and even electric wipers ensure visibility in a downpour. A custom AM/FM/stereo sound system with modern speakers and wiring gives you todays audio experience. Everything about the interior is high-end without being gaudy its the perfect blend of classic style and modern creature comforts.
