The refurbishment and modification of a 1955 Chevrolet 210 two-door sedan took place between 2010 and 2014. The car has been repainted in a combination of black and matte gray, complemented by blue and white vinyl upholstery. Under the hood, there’s a 350ci V8 engine that comes with dual four-barrel Edelbrock carburetors and aluminum cylinder heads. The vehicle is also equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission featuring a shift kit. Its stance is enhanced by staggered-diameter Hot Rods by Boyd wheels, while stopping power is provided by Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. Bilstein shocks contribute to the smooth ride, and 2″ drop spindles further enhance the aesthetics.

The car features power steering for ease of maneuverability, and the interior comfort is ensured by a Vintage Air climate control system. Keeping track of the engine’s performance is made possible by AutoMeter gauges. The exhaust system has been customized to add a unique touch to the vehicle. In preparation for sale, significant work was undertaken, including rebuilding the transmission and carburetors. Additionally, the battery, fuel pump and regulator, transmission cooler, and radiator were replaced. This modified 210 model is being offered for sale through a dealer’s consignment, complete with records and photographs detailing the build process. The car comes with an Arizona title, providing an opportunity for its next owner to enjoy its distinctive features.

Finished from the factory in Skyline Blue and India Ivory (602), the car was stripped to bare metal and repainted black and matte gray by Poor Boys Hot Rods of La Habra, California in the early 2010s following the completion of body work and rust repairs in the rockers, window channels, pillars, and other areas around the body. The bumpers were re-chromed at that time, the trunk pan was repaired, and replacement glass and billet hood hinges were installed. The front floor pans were replaced in 2014 by American Hot Rods of Anaheim, California.

Hot Rods by Boyd wheels measure 17″ up front and 18″ out back and are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. The rear frame has been modified to accommodate a rear leaf spring relocation kit, and the car rides on 2″ drop spindles, Bilstein shocks, tubular control arms, and a front sway bar. Braking is handled by power-assisted Wilwood calipers over cross-drilled and slotted rotors.

The cabin was reupholstered and features two-tone blue and white vinyl seats with matching door panels and gray squareweave carpets with blue edging. Dynamat sound deadening has been added to the floors and inside the doors, and additional equipment includes power steering, a Lokar shifter, a Vintage Air climate control system, sun visors, and an aftermarket pedal set.

The three-spoke Budnik steering wheel is mounted on an Ididt tilting column and frames an AutoMeter 120-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, voltage, and oil pressure. The digital odometer shows 700 miles, and the total chassis mileage is unknown.

The 350ci V8 was rebuilt in the early 2010s and is topped with an Edelbrock intake manifold and dual 650-cfm four-barrel Edelbrock carburetors. Additional equipment includes aluminum double-hump cylinder heads with finned valve covers, a Billet Specialties TruTrac serpentine belt pulley system, a Milodon oil pan, an aluminum radiator with dual Spal electric fans, an MSD Blaster 2 ignition coil, a hi-torque starter, and a custom dual exhaust system with tubular headers, an X-pipe, and Magnaflow mufflers. Work performed by the selling dealer reportedly consisted of rebuilding the carburetors along with replacing the battery, fuel pump and regulator, and radiator.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission fitted with a shift kit and lockup torque converter as well as a 9″ rear end with 31-spline axles. The transmission was reportedly rebuilt and a replacement transmission cooler installed in preparation for the sale.

Photos taken during various stages of the build can be viewed in the gallery, along with receipts that total over $275 and an appraisal report from 2014.
