Description
The 1956 Chevrolet 210 holds a special place in the Australian classic car market because a small number were assembled locally by General Motors-Holden's in right-hand drive configuration for the local market. This is one of those cars. The Holden-assembled body tag is present and confirms Australian manufacture, giving this car genuine provenance that a US-sourced import cannot claim. The 210 occupied the mid-range position in Chevrolet's lineup, sharing the same iconic styling as the flagship Bel-Air but at a slightly more accessible price point, and the 1956 model year brought the "dollar grin" grille that collectors immediately identify.
This is a thoroughgoing restomod rather than a stock restoration, and it wears that identity well. The maroon and pearl white two-tone paint is deep and glossy across all panels with tight, consistent panel gaps and clean chrome work throughout. The body sits noticeably lower than factory ride height on polished multi-spoke billet wheels with modern Hankook performance tyres and yellow-painted disc brake calipers at all four corners, giving it a pro-touring stance that sets it apart on any car show floor. Inside, the cabin has been fully retrimmed in matching maroon and pearl white pleated vinyl, with red carpet, a Bullet brand floor-mounted automatic shifter replacing the original column change, a Nardi-style aftermarket steering wheel, an aftermarket digital head unit with phone connectivity, and under-dash auxiliary gauges. Modern lap seatbelts have been retrofitted front and rear. The engine bay houses a recently rebuilt 350ci small-block V8 with polished valve covers, chrome open-element air filter, and an aftermarket intake manifold. Queensland Transport modification plates confirm the RHD conversion and other engineering modifications are formally approved and documented. Restoration receipts are available from the vendor.
Vendor advises the engine rebuild was completed with 20 miles on the odometer since completion, though the total odometer reading shows 33,460 miles. For buyers seeking a ready-to-drive, head-turning 1950s Chevrolet that has been properly engineered for Australian roads and actually handles like a modern car, this is a compelling package. Comparable 1956 Chevrolet sedans in restomod condition with this level of work typically trade between AUD $30,000 and $50,000 depending on specification and execution.
