1955 Chevy 210

Wallpaper Description:

Always a fan of the ’55 Chevy, Ray Verna decided he needed to finally get his hands on one now that he is retired and has time to play. The ideal ’55 210 post showed up at the Pleasanton, California, Goodguys show, and he snatched it up. The red and black paint was perfect, but Ray wanted more muscle, so he and his buddies yanked the driveline in favor of a 383ci small-block with a Tremec five-speed, backed by a Currie 9-inch. “I didn’t know where to stop,” Ray says. “It was snowballing.” Next up came the chassis with 2-inch drop spindles, cut springs, a Flaming River rack-and-pinion, and a four-link rear with QA1 coilovers. It must be a blast to drive now since Ray says the dual-Edelbrock—carb’d 383 reminds him of the ’66 426 Hemi Plymouth he had back in high school. His favorite touches are the smooth front bumper and the Corvette grille. We have to agree with you there Ray; it’s a great look on a ’55.
