This 1955 Chevy 210 has seen many modifications during its life. The owner tasked Roadster Shop<\/a> with starting over and rebuilding the classic sedan as the ultimate cruiser.<\/p>\n

The classic coupe is now powered by a supercharged 6.2 L LT5 V8 capable of 775 hp and 715 lb-ft of torque. The motor features forged steel crank and rods, forged aluminum pistons, A356T6 heads, dry sump, and a 2.65 L supercharger. Behind that is a 10L90 10-speed automatic transmission and 9-inch rear end. <\/p>\n

Everything sits on Roadster Shop’s SPEC chassis<\/a> with Fox SV adjustable coilovers, parallel 4-link rear suspension, and Baer Pro+ six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors. Those are covered by Fikse wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Sport tires (245\/35, 345\/30). <\/p>\n

The interior was turned over to Miranda Built<\/a> for custom upholstery on the door panels, center console, and Kia Stinger seats. It also features Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster, two Vintage Air Gen 4 Magnum AC systems, and a leather covered steering wheel by Stitch Girl<\/a>. <\/p>\n
