Vehicle Description
Stk. 2512 1965 Chevrolet C10 Resto-Mod
Chevrolet referred to their 1st generation C-10 pickups as
'WorkPower' trucks. They were energized by in-line six cylinders
engines, or 283/327 V8s at best. It is documented that none rolled
off the assembly line with a factory 'Rat' motor. Big block
performance was reserved for the Impala, Chevelle or Corvette. Our
classic 1965 C-10 Stepside is a true Resto-mod with striking good
looks and even better performance. This C-10 experienced a
meticulous frame-off restoration in 2017 - every undercarriage
bolt/nut is stainless. The perfectly straight exterior was
refinished in stunning matte finish 'Eleanor Grey' with black
accents and the classic bed was re-floored in rare Sapele wood that
looks better than mahogany. The handsome Saddletan/Grey leather
interior is incredibly luxurious, but all business with a full
compliment of AutoMeter Classic gauges well positioned in a custom
wood dash to monitor engine functions. There is an AM/FM stereo,
Vintage Air, tilt 'banjo' wheel and tinted glass. Under the hood is
a 496ci stroker crate motor built by BluePrint Engines, Kearney,
NE. BluePrint has been building performance crate engines for over
20 years. The blueprinted big block is equipped with cast steel
crank, Hypereutectic pistons, GM iron oval port 2.25/1.88 heads,
.552/.555 flat tappet hydraulic cam, medium-rise intake and shorty
headers. Engine documentation is included along with the BluePrint
dyno-sheets that confirm 483bhp/567lb/ft. This is a serious street
motor. The engine is backed by a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission
and 10-bolt posi w/3.73:1 gears. Rocket Racing alloy spoke wheels
are fitted with new Pirelli radials. A complete Classic performance
products (CPP) suspension package has added superb handling with a
lowered stance (front/rear) and heavy-duty sway bars. The chassis
incorporates power steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes with a
dual master. This beautiful, fully restored Resto-mod is a well
thought-out performance machine. Put this Chevy in your driveway
and we guarantee your neighbors will be over for a look. ALL
