Overview of 1956 Chevrolet 210 Handyman Wagon Restomod For Sale by Owner

A mainstay of American life in the 1950s, the Chevrolet 210 was made for just four short years. Despite that, it managed to muster two generations between its 1953-1957 production run, before being succeeded by the Biscayne. Today, the Chevy 210 is slowly gaining a reputation for being a proper American classic, on account that it provided stalwart motoring for countless middle-class Americans in its time. The range was available in many forms, including as a sedan, wagon, hardtop, coupe, and convertible. This 1956 Chevrolet 2-Door Wagon Restomod is a wagon with a difference, as it's packing a meaty engine under the hood, but maintains much of its classic persona as well. So if you’re in the market for a classic car but aren’t ready to go fully period correct, this car is a great way to test the waters.

Exterior and Interior

Right off the bat, you can tell that something is cooking with this 1956 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Wagon Restomod. For starters, its custom blue and silver exterior gray paint definitely isn’t a Fifties theme, neither are its five spoke silver alloy wheels. Beneath all this lies a custom chassis but once again, you wouldn’t know it unless you took a look beneath the car. That’s because it’s still got classic elements such as circular headlamps, a wrap-around windshield, and chrome bumpers. The interior of this 1956 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Wagon Restomod continues the two-tone blue and silver theme but swaps out the old bench seats for four individual seats that offer much more comfort and support. Then, there’s a digital gauge cluster sitting pretty within the old factory gauge pod in the dashboard, while a custom center console runs down the length of the interior, bisecting both rows of seats. Within this center console lies an Autosound Custom radio which is hooked up to a CD changer mounted beneath one of the seats. The speakers are also discretely scattered around the cabin, adding to the retro-modern vibe of this car.

Engine

Fire up the engine of this 1956 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Wagon Restomod and you’ll definitely know that it isn’t ’50s stock. Nope, there’s a blown 489ci ZL1 V8 engine waiting to unleash bucketloads of power and torque to the wide rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox and Ford 9-inch rear end. Yes, this is very much a driver’s car.

$139,995

Do you ever wish you could go back in time 30 years? With this 1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, 30 years ago is today. Showing only 27 miles, this example remains a true time capsule that looks, feels, and even presents as though it has just rolled off the showroom floor. Original paper tags, factory paint dabs, and marker inspection marks remain visible throughout the engine bay and undercarriage, preserving the authenticity of what may be one of the most original and lowest-mileage C4 ZR-1 examples known. While every ZR-1 represents an important chapter in Corvette history, this particular example is suited for the collector seeking a benchmark-level representation of Chevrolet’s “King of the Hill” performance flagship. The final production year for the C4 ZR-1, 1995 saw only 448 examples produced, and this car is documented as number 352. Adding to its significance is its rare dual Dunn head configuration, a feature reportedly found on only 130 later-production 1995 ZR-1 models. According to accompanying documentation, this combination makes this example exceptionally rare, with its 27-mile odometer reading making it an especially unique piece of Corvette history. Documented with a clean Carfax, original window sticker still attached to the windshield, second window sticker, build sheet, ZR-1 owner’s manual packet, Corvette literature, factory accessories, and additional documentation, this Corvette represents an extraordinary opportunity to preserve one of Chevrolet’s most technologically advanced performance cars of the era.
