1954 Chevrolet 210 / Bel Air Deluxe Sedan Chevy Two-Ten 235 Beautiful!


Straight out of the sock hops, drive-ins, American Graffiti, and Back to the Future comes this lovingly restored 1954 Chevrolet Two-Ten. It has a correct-era 235 cu in inline-6 with a 3-speed manual transmission on the column. This car is a beauty, a looker, and a stunner. The gorgeous cherry red paint and bright shiny chrome make this car gleam in the sunshine. Hopefully you can see that in the photos. Overall the paint is excellent. This is a professional-grade restoration-quality paint job done to a very high standard.


The chrome is bright and shiny but does have some pitting here and there. The one exception is the wheels which are mirror-shiny and in perfect shape.

The interior is nice as well. The dash has been repainted in the restoration and looks fantastic. The seats have been recovered, although with a non-original fabric. The original fabric remains beneath. The headliner is new and in spotless condition. The carpets have been replaced with all-weather carpeting.


Mechanically this car is ready to cruise. I just installed a new set of spark plugs and wires and it fires up easily! I have taken it on several multi-hour trips recently and it is a true joy to drive. This classic is a one-car car show wherever you go. If you don't like people coming up and complementing the car and asking questions this car isn't for you. The motor does not smoke. It idles nicely and drives even better. The brakes are surprisingly good for a car of this vintage. I just had a wheel cylinder replaced. They are manual brakes so some adjustment in driving style is necessary. It shifts through the gears nicely and will cruise along at 60 all day long. The tires are nearly new. The exhaust is in good shape and even features some glass-packs. It has a nice throaty sound thats not too noisy. The ride is cushy and comfortable. Load this beauty up with some friends and take it out for ice cream.


The underside is in very good shape. The frame is solid as heck.


The negatives: 4 of the side windows have hairline cracks in them. I priced these out to between $35-$47 per window. They still keep the rain out and go up and down just fine. The paint, as nice as it is, does have some flaws there are a few scratches and dings and a few tiny bubbles. There are some small spots of missing clear that do not affect the overall shine. The original AM radio does not work. Big surprise I know. There is a modern radio/cd player that works just fine installed under the dash. The blower motor does not work, but the ram-air vents keep the air circulating. There is a small oil drip, probably coming from the oil pan gasket.  The clutch does exhibit some very minor chattering.  The title reads miles in excess of mechanical limits but is otherwise clear.



I did some further research into the exact model of the car because the title says it is a Bel Air. It appears that in 1954 the difference between the 150, 210, and Bel Air was largely the exterior horizontal trim strip and accompanying badges. Since this car has had those deleted in the restoration process it makes little difference at this point. For the Chevy purists the build code is 1069w which should correspond to the two-ten. For the non-purists the title says Bel Air and go with that.

I cannot guarantee that I know about every single problem/imperfection that this car has.  I have done my best to give you a good sense of the car, beyond that it is your responsibility to come look at the car for yourself.  Please call me to make an appointment to see the car.  Please also be aware that more imperfections can be found in person than from photos.  Expect this.  If you plan to drive the car a long distance away be advised that you do so at your own financial risk.  Plan on having to spend some money on upgrades and maintenance.  Overall please be realistic.  This is an old car and we live in an imperfect world.

Can Fernando Alonso win Indy? Here's why and why maybe not

Sat, May 27 2017

SPEEDWAY, IN – The month of May has been a joy ride for Fernando Alonso at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The two-time Formula 1 champion came to Indy having never turned left in a race car without also turning right. But he acquired such a feel for Indy's 2 1/2 -mile rectangle during a month of practice and qualifying that he's considered a strong contender to win the 101st Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, rookie or not. "You're not trying to bring somebody on who has very little experience driving very high-performance cars," said 2003 Indy 500 winner Gil deFerran, who this month has helped Alonso learn the nuances that make the speedway such a tough place to conquer. "I suppose it would be a little bit different if you were dealing with a younger, much less experienced person." Driving a McLaren Honda from the potent Andretti Autosport team, Alonso was consistently near the top of the speed charts in practice, he qualified fifth fastest at 231.300 mph, and he handled runs in heavy traffic like a driver who'd done it many times before. But those were the prelims. The race is another creature. "The car felt the best (it has) in the last two weeks. I was making some moves, taking some different lines. I am extremely happy." Other drivers say the speedway looks different on race day when the crowd, expected to top 300,000, fills the grandstands and makes an already narrow track seem even tighter. The three-wide rolling start is something Alonso has never experienced, and he will see the green flag from the middle of the second row between Takuma Sato and J.R. Hildebrand. And the space he'll be given by his competitors in the first 180 laps may disappear In the last 20 when it's every driver for themselves. Can a rookie like Alonso win this race? Absolutely, as Andretti driver Alexander Rossi showed last year when his team used a fuel-mileage strategy to win in his first taste of Indy. We're talking about Fernando Alonso here, who easily could show his rookie stripes to the rest of the field most of the day. His best lap in Friday's final practice, 226.608, was fifth fastest in the field and, more important, he said the car felt comfortable in heavy traffic. "The car felt the best (it has) in the last two weeks," Alonso said. "I was making some moves, taking some different lines.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
