1955 Chevrolet 210 Gasser 383ci V8 Stroker

Emerging during the 1960s drag racing craze, the 1955 Chevy Gasser transformed Chevrolet's lightweight "shoebox" coupe and sedan models into straight-line strip legends. Racers stripped away excess weight, swapped in powerful V8 engines and installed straight-axle front suspensions to create a high-riding stance that maximized rear weight transfer on launch. This particular gasser is powered by a built 383ci V8 Stroker engine which is estimated to put out 450hp and has enabled this car to run in the 11’s. The engine is fit with aluminum 215 Dart heads, a high-rise aluminum intake and is fed via a Brawler 850cfm 4-barrel carb. Spark is handled by an MSD electronic ignition and exhaust is handled by a set of ceramic coated headers and performance dual exhaust that sounds just plain nasty when you open up the electronic cut-offs. All that power is put to the ground via a Dana 60 posi rear end with 4:56 gear via a performance built T400 tranny with a 5,400 stall, a line lock and a trans brake. It has newer AFCO coil over shocks and ladder bars on the rear with a straight axle and Wilwood disc brakes up front. It has a clean interior with bucket seats that is in excellent condition. You will appreciate the large tach mounted on the steering column with a shift light, the Hurst ratchet shifter as well as the 4 extra gauges mounted under the dash keeping you well informed on the engine status. The exterior boasts a flip hood which gives you unobstructed access to the engine bay. You will also appreciate the newer American Racing Torque Thrust D rims wrapped in M&H Racemaster 9.0/28.0-15 slicks on the rear as well as the Hoosier 27.0X4.5-15 skinnies up front. It is really set off by its stance, the paint, the decals and the mini keg on the front bumper. The mini keg is just for looks as it has a 15-gallon fuel cell in the trunk. The car was completed about 15 years ago and the paint has a few flaws as shown in the close-ups. It does not have heat, wipers, a horn and the gas gauge does not work. There are less than 500 miles on the driveline and it has only been down the strip 4 times. All said and done over $60K was invested to bring this beauty to life. The current owner is ready for a new toy so we priced this one accordingly so if you like what you see we suggest that you reach out before it is too late!
