1955 Chevrolet 210 — LS1-Powered Pro-Touring Custom BuildWhy This Car Is SpecialThe 1955 Chevrolet 210 sits at the center of one of the most important model years in American automotive history. When Chevrolet introduced the redesigned 1955 lineup, it marked a clean break from the slab-sided, upright styling of the early postwar years. Designer Clare MacKichan and his team drew heavily from Ferrari and other European influences to produce a lower, wider, more aggressive body — one that looked genuinely modern on the street. The 210, positioned as the mid-tier trim between the base 150 and the flagship Bel Air, gave buyers nearly the same sheetmetal with a lower price of entry. That made it popular in period and makes it a practical foundation for a build today.What also made 1955 so significant was the introduction of the small-block Chevrolet V8. That original 265 cubic inch engine changed the direction of American performance. It was light, efficient, and tuneable in ways the old Stovebolt six never was. Chevrolet sold over 1.7 million vehicles in the 1955 model year — a record at the time — and the 210 two-door sedan was among the volume leaders.This particular 1955 Chevrolet 210 has been taken well beyond a standard restoration. What sits in front of you is a professionally built pro-touring custom — a car that wears the correct 1955 Chevrolet 210 sheetmetal on the outside while delivering modern performance, modern safety, and modern comfort on the inside and underneath. The builder did not cut corners on component selection. The parts list reads like a catalog of well-regarded specialty manufacturers: Wilwood, Edelbrock, MagnaFlow, CPP, Dakota Digital, Rockford Fosgate, LOKAR, and Ididit, among others. The interior was executed by M&M Custom Interiors, a shop that specializes in this era of car. The result is a 1955 Chevrolet 210 that you can actually drive — on a long trip, in Florida summer heat, with music playing and cold air blowing — without babying it or worrying about what comes next.Features List- GM LS1 V8 engine- Edelbrock Pro-Flo XT EFI intake manifold- Edelbrock valve covers- Stainless steel exhaust headers- 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission- MagnaFlow dual exhaust system- Be Cool aluminum radiator- Viper serpentine pulley system- LOKAR dipsticks and cables- CPP power steering with rack and pinion- Coilover suspension, front and rear- Front and rear sway bars- Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes- 9-inch 4-link Ford rear end- Gas tank by Tanks Inc.- American AutoWire wiring harness- Vintage air conditioning- Rain Gear electric wipers- Full custom interior by M&M Custom Interiors- Custom front bucket seats- Rear bucket seats with center armrest- Custom door panels- Custom headliner- Custom console with cup holders- LOKAR shifter- Ididit tilt steering column- LeCarra billet steering wheel- Dakota Digital dash- Touchscreen media display- Danchuk polished billet dash insert- Billet pedals- Billet window cranks and interior door handles- Custom stereo system with Rockford Fosgate amplifier and subwoofers- Carpeted and finished trunk- Two-tone PPG base coat / clear coat paint in yellow and white- Customer-ordered chrome US Mags wheels- All new tinted glass- All new bumpers and stainless trim- New rocker molding and gravel guards- Chrome hood hinges and hood ornament- Chrome bullet side mirrorsMechanicalThe engine bay of this 1955 Chevrolet 210 is built around a GM LS1 V8 — the all-aluminum 5.7-liter engine that debuted in the 1997 Corvette C5 and remained in production through 2004. The LS1 made 345 horsepower in factory Corvette trim and is widely regarded as one of the best production V8s GM ever built. It is substantially lighter than an iron-block small-block of the same displacement, which helps the front-to-rear weight balance on this car.
