Supercharged ZZ502 1955 Chevrolet 210 Sedan Brings Blown Big-Block Swagger to Bring a TrailerMotoriousElizabeth PuckettSat, September 26, 2026 at 12:30 AM UTCAdd us on GoogleSupercharged ZZ502 1955 Chevrolet 210 Sedan Brings Blown Big-Block Swagger to Bring a TrailerFew cars wear attitude as naturally as a Tri-Five Chevy, and this supercharged 1955 Chevrolet 210 two-door sedan on Bring a Trailer takes that attitude and turns it up to eleven. Owned by the same enthusiast for 23 years and now offered on dealer consignment by PurMotive, a BaT Local Partner in Cockeysville, Maryland, this custom 210 pairs a blown ZZ502 big-block with a thoroughly sorted chassis and a flame-licked orange-and-white finish that is impossible to ignore.A Smooth, Shaved Body With Serious PresenceThe 1955 Chevrolet 210 has always been the everyman's Tri-Five, but this one was built to stand out. During its original build, the doors and trunk lid were shaved for a cleaner profile, and a custom front valance and grille insert give the nose a more purposeful look. The car was refinished in orange and white in 2014, and airbrushed flame graphics were later laid down by Jack of Arts Studio in Ellicott City, Maryland.Tinted glass, dual exhaust outlets, and a JEGS cutoff switch tucked discreetly behind the fuel filler door round out the exterior. It rides on Coys wheels measuring 15 inches up front and 20 inches out back, wrapped in Mickey Thompson rubber for a classic big-and-little stance. The seller notes some paint chips on the A-pillars, which are minor in the context of a driven custom.Supercharged ZZ502 Big-Block PowerThe real headline lives under the hood. Chevrolet Performance's ZZ502 crate engine displaces 502 cubic inches, and this one is topped with a Blower Shop 8-71 supercharger fed by dual Quick Fuel 750-cfm carburetors breathing through a dual-barrel air scoop. Long-tube headers flow into a dual exhaust system, and polished dress panels frame the engine bay. Boost and fuel pressure gauges are mounted on the back of the scoop so the driver can watch them through the windshield, a detail that captures the car's playful, show-and-go personality. An oil leak is noted in the listing.AdvertisementAdvertisementPower reaches the rear wheels through a TH400 three-speed automatic backed by a Gear Vendors overdrive unit, which should make highway cruising far more relaxed than the drivetrain's specs might suggest. Out back is a narrowed Chrysler 489 8.75-inch rear end, a proven piece for handling big-block torque.A Chassis Built to Handle the MusclePlenty of builders chase horsepower, but this 210 backs up its engine with meaningful suspension work. Up front is a Mustang II-style setup with tubular control arms, power rack-and-pinion steering, a sway bar, and Ridetech adjustable air shocks. The rear uses a four-link arrangement with a Panhard rod and QA1 adjustable coilovers. Front disc brakes and rear drums handle stopping duties, and a removable panel in the trunk hides the Ridetech air compressor and tank.If you've been following our coverage of built Tri-Fives, like this restomod 1955 Chevrolet 210 with modern chassis upgrades or this Pro Street 1955 Chevrolet sedan with supercharged power, you'll recognize the recipe.

The bright metal dash trim hides a pop-out cupholder, and power windows add a bit of everyday convenience.AdvertisementAdvertisementInstrumentation includes a Speedhut 160-mph GPS speedometer and supplementary Speedhut gauges, while an AutoMeter tachometer with an integrated shift light sits atop the dash. The three-spoke steering wheel shows a crack in its rim. The trunk is trimmed to complement the interior and houses custom enclosures for a fuel cell and dual Optima Red Top batteries.Long-Term Ownership and Auction DetailsThe digital odometer shows about 8,000 miles, all added during the current owner's 23 years with the car. The Maryland title carries a Not Actual Mileage designation with a reading of 122,000 miles, and a factory service manual is included with the sale.At the time of writing, bidding stood at $28,500 with the auction scheduled to close on Friday, September 25.
