1955 Chevrolet 210

Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is proud to present this stunning 1955 Chevrolet 210 Restomod for sale. Sporting a beautiful two-tone Black-over-Metallic Copper paint scheme with spectacular chrome accents, this car represents the best of what modern technology can bring to the best vintage metal. Pro Paint Customs performed the paint and body work, as well as handled the engine and transmission upgrades; and from all appearances, performed a maestros work. The chrome is amazing, and the paintwork is even better. Everywhere you look, youll find custom touches, and the attention to detail is comparable to that which you can find on the worlds finest automobiles today.

Under the hood as a brand-new, supremely stout LS3 V8, sporting a high-rise aluminum intake with custom-fabbed upper, Holley port fuel injection, and all of the necessary bells and whistles expected, and yet, nearly everything is covered with body-color custom panels, which provide a beautiful show car experience. A set of Billet Specialties hide the coil pack valve covers really dress up the top of the engine and hide the LS engines coil packs. Ceramic coated Hedman headers add some pizazz and enhance exhaust gases most efficiently at the same time. Twin electric cooling fans keep the massive aluminum radiator cooled. The radiator, core support, the view of the upper suspension, and power brake booster are all tastefully concealed by custom body-colored covers. Behind that snarling LS3 is a brand new 4-speed automatic trans, controlled by the ubiquitous Lokar shifter in the cockpit. The brake system sports all stainless steel lines all the way to the body-colored multi-piston Wilwood calipers, which snare the two-piece rotors quite fiercely, giving this 65-year old car the stopping power of a late model sports car.

Underneath, you will really appreciate the fact that the attention to detail above hasnt been forgotten below. A totally hand-built, custom 3 ceramic coated exhaust system is made up of multiple welded and custom-flanged assemblies, allowing for easy system changes (you can go from mild, to wild-sounding) with removal of a few hex bolts. A completely adjustable multi-link rear suspension setup (with adjustable coil-over rear shocks) help the custom Ford 9 third member get that power to the ground through its near ideal 3.73:1 gear ratio. A custom set of billet aluminum 5-hole Chevy Thunder logoed wheels are wrapped by Nitto NT450 performance radial tires (225/50-R16 up front, 255/50-R17 out back), further enhancing the formidable performance of this beast.

Inside this gorgeous, one-of-a-kind Tri-Five, youll find that the magic continues. Graced with a dash thats both vintage-looking, yet totally futuristic in execution, it provides such sinuous lines that youll be mesmerized while you try to figure out if its vintage, futuristic, or both. A vintage horizontal speedo is complemented by a full set of modern analog gauges to help the driver monitor key temps and pressures under the hood. A custom Vintage Air HVAC control panel handles occupant comfort. Speaking of occupants: anyone inside the confines of this car will luxuriate in the aroma that the leather interior gives off. From the headliner to the carpet trim, an exceptionally high-grade leather was used to cover the horizontal and vertical surfaces. The seats are immensely comfortable, and the stitching is evident of a master craftsmans skill and deft touch. Even the entire headliner is done in this beautiful, supple leather. It wont matter where you look, youll be hard-pressed to find even a stitch thats out of alignment. Stainless steel mesh covers speaker grilles and trim areas and adds accents in many spots. Its very evident that multiple artists collaborated in the planning and execution of this sublime build, which goes as well as it shows.
