This is a 1955 Chevy 210 two-door sedan. It has been rebuilt into a beautiful looking great driver. Car was painted black in 2018. The chrome and trim have been replaced. The rear fender wells are from a 1955 Nomad. It is powered by a 383 stroker engine built by a local professional shop. I looked over the dyno sheets and the engine made a best of 423 HP @ 5400 RPM and 463.5 Torque @ 3700 RPM. The engine is equipped with Edelbrock air gap intake and new 750 Holley Brawler with coated long tube Hedman headers. Transmission is a 700R4 built for this engine's power output and it has a new Hughes 2500 Stall Converter. Power goes to a Ford 9-inch rear - we did not know what gear ratio but at 70 mph the tach reads 2400 rpm with a 27-inch diameter rear tire and using the 700R4's 0.696 overdrive that calculates to about a 3:89 or 3:91 gear; rear is open. Brakes are power with discs in front. Car has power steering with a new 500 series box. Tires are new and are mounted on gray spoke American Racing mags. It has a new interior with new emergency brake, Ididit tilt column, tach on the dash and a trio of gauges under the dash. It has Vintage Air with heat and defrost. The owner purchased this car from a man in North Carolina in 2017 as an unfinished project. Unfortunately he passed away in 2021. His wife had the car completed and it has been driven about 1000 miles. She asked me to list it. Car comes with an inch thick stack of receipts for the car including paperwork on engine, transmission and dyno sheets. The car was built to be a very nice driver. It looks a lot like the ones built in the 1960s with the Nomad rear fender lips, station wagon rear bumper, vintage style mag wheels and trim removed from the trunk lid. Car has these faults: speedometer does not work, installer cut a place in the headliner (I could not find it), small crack on hood trim that can only be seen when hood is up, needs a couple of trim strips for the front seat - can only be seen when you pull seat tops forward. Car runs, drives and rides great. It is ready for someone to enjoy. Email me any question or call 804-five nine zero-0718.

Paint was done in 2018, chrome and trim have been replaced or restored, all glass is good, new smoothie hood

It has a station wagon rear bumper and the taillight lenses have been replaced

Nomad rear wheel wells make the car stand out and makes it much easier to change the rear tires

Front tires are 205X65X15 on 15X6 American Racing gray spokes and rears are 275X60X15 on 8 1/2-inch wide wheels

Exhaust exits behind the rear wheel wells - sounds awesome through turbo style mufflers

Installer cut headliner near sun visors - I couldn't find it

Both top seat halves need a trim strip - when the owner ordered the interior kit they didn't come in the kit

We did not know the gear ratio of the 9-inch rear so using GPS for speed and the car going 70 mph the tach reads 2400 rpm with a 27-inch diameter rear tire and using the 700R4's 0.696 overdrive that calculates to about a 3:89 or 3:91 gear - this is an estimate. Car cruises great at 70 - it was meant to be a driver.
