1955 Chevrolet 210 2 Door Post
VIN VB55L061584
What’s special about this listing
The 1955 Chevrolet 210 holds a special place in American automotive history as part of the legendary Tri-Five era (1955–1957). Positioned between the entry-level 150 and the upscale Bel Air, the 210 — also known as the Two-Ten — delivered style and substance to the American middle class. The 1955 model year marked the debut of the second generation, introducing dramatic new styling and, for the first time, the availability of Chevrolet's groundbreaking small-block V8. This particular example, described by the seller as a fully restored and modified restomod, channels that iconic 1950s silhouette through the lens of modern performance engineering.
According to the seller, this 210 presents a custom Auburn and Gray metallic two-tone finish over a complete Art Morrison chassis. The build reportedly features adjustable coil-over suspension at all four corners, along with front and rear anti-sway bars and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes — hardware that represents a dramatic leap forward from the car's original underpinnings. The seller notes that the car rides on staggered 17" and 18" polished Schott wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force performance radials, with the Optima battery relocated to the trunk for improved weight distribution.
Key characteristics that make this vehicle special:
- Art Morrison full chassis — described by the seller as the foundation for this build, replacing the original frame with a modern, engineered platform
- LSX 6.2L V8 with Holley EFI — according to the seller, a contemporary fuel-injected powerhouse replacing the original drivetrain
- Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes — the seller notes modern stopping hardware all around, a critical upgrade for a car with substantially increased power
- Custom two-tone Auburn and Gray metallic finish — described as a bespoke color combination that honors the era while standing apart
- Fully updated leather interior with modern technology — the seller describes reclining bucket seats, a Pioneer touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth, air conditioning, and power windows
- Staggered 17" and 18" polished Schott wheels — according to the seller, wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force performance radials for a contemporary stance
The heart of this restomod is, according to the seller, an LSX 6.2L V8 paired with Holley electronic fuel injection and a TH700R4 automatic overdrive transmission. The seller describes this combination as providing smooth, reliable power with modern drivability, while long-tube headers and a dual Spintech exhaust system deliver a throaty growl befitting the car's performance credentials. This level of mechanical sophistication transforms the classic Tri-Five driving experience into something suitable for contemporary roads and distances.
Inside, the cabin has been thoroughly reimagined with custom tan leather upholstery, reclining bucket seats, and a polished aluminum dashboard fitted with Speedhut Legacy gauges and a GPS-powered speedometer. The seller notes modern amenities including air conditioning, power windows, and a Pioneer touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth, all integrated through a custom center console. In the broader collector market, the Chevrolet 210 - 2nd Gen category remains highly sought-after, with an average transaction price around $52,000 and well-executed restomod examples typically commanding significant premiums above that benchmark.
