1955 Chevy 210 Del Ray 2dr | Rotisserie Restored | 265 V8 OD | No Reserve
1955 Chevrolet Bel Air/150/210 Del Ray
Up for NO-RESERVE auction is my 1955 Chevrolet 210 “Del Ray” 2-Door Club Coupe (VIN B55F215387). The car received a show-quality, frame-off rotisserie restoration completed in 2020 by a well-known Tri-Five specialist and has been driven less than 100 miles since. Always stored indoors in a climate-controlled garage and never driven in the rain. I bought it directly from the restorer, kept it in my private collection, then moved out of state; the car now sits under cover in a friend’s heated garage and needs a new caretaker. I believe it’s a $55-60 k+ example—so starting at $28,000 with no reserve could be the bargain of the year.
Walk-around in wordsA true Tri-Five icon, freshly finished in 2020 after a nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration by a well-known Chevy specialist. The car wears a crisp two-tone blue & white (India Ivory over Cashmere Blue) exterior with mirror-straight panels and show-quality chrome. All stainless trim has been polished; every emblem is NOS or better. Floors, trunk pan and frame are as clean as the topside.
Inside you’ll find the correct Del Ray pattern interior—blue/white vinyl seats, new headliner, matching door panels, fresh carpet and a flawless “machine-turn” dash insert. It’s a radio-delete car from the factory, but I’ll include a working ’55 Chevy AM unit if you want tunes.
Exterior-
Factory two-tone India Ivory over Cashmere Blue (Code 6) expertly applied to the glass-straight body, uniform gaps, I included pics of all the gaps. This has a deep shine.

If you’ve priced high-end Tri-Five restorations lately, you know replicating this build would cost far more than my no-reserve start price—paint, chrome and interior work alone can top $40 k. Add in a rust-free body, rebuilt drivetrain with rare overdrive, and meticulous storage, and you have a turn-key ’55 210 Del Ray that’s ready for shows, cruises, or just admiring in the garage.
Bid early, bid often, and good luck!
