Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet C10 is a V8 pickup rendered in a slick modern
paint. So it's the weekend friend that helps with the chores on
Saturdays, hits the town in the evening, and then makes the scene
at the Sunday car show - truly the vintage ride that can do it
all.
Only the right truck can wear a purple like this. The slick
clearcoat finish and metallic elements make it a confidence color
that draws attention with its electricity. For a color like this to
be on a pickup, the body needs to be as straight as this one,
because imperfections have no place to hide - a rare find on
vehicles that were intended as workhorses. And it also helps the
brightwork elements to standout, too. From the wide bumpers, to the
custom grille, to the 15-inch alloys, all of these shiny elements
give this C10 an upscale look. There's even an added cowl induction
hood. But you've also got a trailer hitch at the rear, which
reminds you that a shiny vintage machine like this can be useful
for more than just grabbing attention.
When you open the door, you'll immediately notice the velour bench
seat that has been recently covered to give you the ultimate in
comfort. The black cloth nicely matches the carpeting and dash pad.
These coordinate nicely with the exterior purple that returns on
the door panels, roof, and lower dash. The total effect is a
well-coordinated and comfy interior. You're going to enjoy slipping
behind the Grant GT sports steering wheel, and gazing across the
full gauge package that now includes a large AutoMeter tach mounted
on the column. And there's even an AM/FM/cassette stereo w/CD
changer. But we know your favorite feature will be the sliding rear
glass. Combined with the side vent windows, you'll use this to
enjoy everything from a nice evening breeze, to the rumble of the
dual exhaust.
Just like the interior, the engine bay is a mix of black and
purple. This allows the recently rebuilt 305 cubic-inch V8 to
really radiate from within. In fact, the consignor says there's
less than 250 miles on the rebuild, you can really see how fresh
everything is, right down to the hoses. This is a strong runner
that inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and it
exhales with authority as shorty headers feed the dual exhaust. Out
on the road, features like the three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and front disc brakes combine to create that
perfect classic cruiser feeling. Plus, this generation C10 has the
sought-after trailing arm rear suspension that makes it more
comfortable than most other vintage pickups.
Complete with owner's manual and original bill of sale, this is the
slick purple pickup that has all the right moves. So at this price,
you know you need to hurry to take it home. Call today!!!
