This 1957 Chevrolet 210 two-door sedan was refurbished under prior ownership, receiving a repaint in green and white over beige leather upholstery on late-model front bucket seats. The selling dealer acquired the car out of an estate in 2021, and a replacement 350ci V8 subsequently was rebuilt and installed and the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission was serviced. Equipment includes a Holley 750-cfm carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, Brodix cylinder heads, tubular headers, an aluminum radiator, American Racing 15″ wheels, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and front disc brakes as well as Bel Air badging, a center console, a B&M shifter, and a retro-style radio. This modified Chevy is now offered with refurbishment records and photos as well as a clean Missouri title.
The car was repainted in green with a white roof under previous ownership. Features include Bel Air badging, chrome bumpers, stainless trim, dual side mirrors, reverse lights, and dual exhaust outlets.
Five-spoke American Racing 15″ wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires measuring 215/60 in front and 235/60 at the rear. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, and the car is equipped with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering.
The cabin features late-model front bucket seats and a split-folding rear bench upholstered in beige leather. The driver seat is power adjustable, and other appointments include black carpeting, aftermarket air conditioning, a center console, cupholders, a B&M shifter, a retro-style radio, aftermarket speakers, front lap belts, floor mats, and Bel Air badging.
A Grant steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer flanked by a clock and a fuel-level gauge. A tachometer is affixed to the dash top, and a pod of aftermarket gauges placed below the dashboard monitors water temperature, battery voltage, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 69k miles, approximately 300 of which were added by the selling dealer; true mileage is unknown.
