Clasiq Feature: 1956 Chevy 210 Gasser Roars Back to Life with Modern MuscleA piece of classic American drag racing heritage is up for grabs, as a fully restored 1956 Chevrolet 210 Gasser hits the auction block. Offered by Up North Classics and located in Lake Ronkonkoma, New York, this bold build combines authentic Gasser styling with modern dependability, making it a standout for collectors and hot rod enthusiasts alike.
Finished in bright white paint accented by hand-laid flame graphics, this ’56 Chevy carries the unmistakable attitude of its Gasser lineage. A high-riding stance, brilliant chrome trim, and period-correct body lines stay true to the era when mid-1950s Chevys ruled quarter-mile drag strips. The black interior is equally classic, featuring straightforward instrumentation and a clean, functional layout.
Under the hood, however, this Gasser is far from stock. Power comes from a new 350-cubic-inch high-output V8, paired with a four-speed manual transmission and posi-traction rear differential. The car has logged only about 2,000 miles since a complete mechanical overhaul, and the seller describes it as “fast, dependable, and ready to drive anywhere.”
Originally popularized in the golden era of drag racing, Gassers were designed to transfer weight to the rear wheels for better traction off the line. Classic Chevrolets like this 210 were a favorite among racers for their solid frames and lightweight construction, making them ideal candidates for high-powered V8 swaps. Today, cars like this one are prized for their connection to hot-rodding history and their unmistakable ‘50s styling.
This Chevy is being offered at auction with a motivated seller, making it a rare opportunity to own a turn-key Gasser that blends vintage style with modern reliability.
