Description:

This 1956 Chevrolet 210 Del Rey 2 Door Sedan is a California Native. I am technically the third owner, however, the 2nd owner ended up marrying the first owner, so two owner (?). This car is coming up on 60 years old and she's still turning heads.
I do not want to represent this car as something that it is not. PLEASE read entire description. It will need some work , but I have already done a lot, especially modifications. It runs very strong and has a very decent body with no cancer. I guarantee that if you start tearing this apart, you are only going to find road dirt and grime and some surface rust. The floors, trunk, rockers, wheel wells, areas above the headlights and all the areas that you would normally find cancer in some cars that come from areas with snow are all clean with some surface rust only and absolutely NO cancer. Inside of trunk is very clean (see picture). Car does have some bondo that is flaking off in certain areas. There are a few dents here and there. Stainless steel is in really good shape, and is virtually dent free. I have the name of a stainless steel polish that will bring it back to showroom condition. Windows are fair, but passenger side door window is cracked. Driver side door regulator will need to be replaced. The weatherstripping and window seals are all becoming brittle and fragile. Seats are passable. This car is already a respectable driver with a nice patina. If you want to build a show car, this is an above average starter and could be built without breaking the bank! Will need some minor electrical work under the dash (just to get all of the lights and the heater fan working). I am going to check the fuses to see if I can get everything working.
Now for the good:
350 CI with mild cam, Edelbrock high rise manifold and Edelbrock 600CFM 4 barrel. Switched to alternator.
Billet alumninum distributor and MSD coil,
700R4 transmission and Olds Cutlass 2:73 rear end.
(This baby purrs at 80 MPH)
2 1/2 drop spindles with 1 drop springs (3 1/2 total) and disc brakes on the front with a 2 1/2 drop in the rear gives it a nice raked look.
New leaf springs.
$1, 200 worth of wheels and new tires.
1000 Cold Cranking Amps Battery. Moved from engine compartment to trunk.
