Vehicle Description
Ready to win some trophies? This 1966 Chevrolet C10 will do it for
you. With a fresh comprehensive restoration featuring a stunning
Mosport Green paint job and a luxurious leather interior, it's a
subtle resto-mod that skillfully accents all that was great about
Chevy's '60s haulers. And with a thumping, fuel-injected 427 V8
under the hood, it's faster and more powerful than anything Chevy
was producing in '66, and that's a good thing.
You want to get noticed, don't go with flames and bright colors, do
it with skill then paint it a uniform color without any bells and
whistles that distract from the finish. That was obviously the
mantra behind this build, which combines impressive craftsmanship
and time-consuming attention to detail resulting in an exceptional
application of the Mosport Green Metallic that adorn this truck
today. Fit and finish are exemplary and if this truck ever spent
days out in the field or on the job site, all evidence of it has
been completely erased by the build. Instead, the sheetmetal is
straight enough to use as a mirror, the light green paint makes
similar cars in our showroom look dirty, and every corner was honed
to a sharp edge that reflects light in a most impressive way. Most
of the profile trim was deleted for a smooth, uniform look,
although the front grille, both bumpers, door handles, and light
bezels remain, and they absolutely glitter against the paint,
accenting both the original design and the modified stance. There's
also a freshly restored wooden bed (it's also covered in about 13
coats of clear, so it shines up incredibly well and should last as
long as the paint job) that warms up the green paint job even
further and offers flashy stainless steel rub strips that have yet
to see a drop of rain or a piece of cargo. Everywhere you look this
truck is just MONEY.
They worked the same kind of magic inside, where the tan leather
interior was simply restored with a nice mixture of stock and
modern components, but in a very exceptional way. Look how well
that leather seat cover fits, how smoothly the plush carpet flows
around the custom storage console under the dash without a wrinkle,
and the pleasing contrast between the custom door panels and their
bright stainless hardware. The single-pane instrument panel covers
only the basics but does it so well that you won't even notice, and
that leather-rimmed, custom steering wheel looks awesome perched on
the aftermarket tilt column. Vintage A/C was beautifully integrated
into the dash and is a nice addition that makes this truck easy to
drive, and the entertainment system is an AM/FM/CD/AUX/Bluetooth
stereo with speakers neatly stashed throughout the passenger
compartment. A glance up top reveals a custom headliner setup, with
a neatly integrated overhead console borrowed from a late-model
Nissan. This cab is a very comfortable place to be.
The thumping 427 cubic inch V8 big block features a Holley Avenger
Fuel Injection system that makes it incredibly responsive and
super-reliable, and with approximately 4500 miles on the motor, it
has years of street dominance ahead of it. It's dressed for show,
with a custom Olds/Caddy style air cleaner that was painted to
match the exterior, finned valve covers, a smoothed and painted
firewall, and beautifully painted black inner fenders. Service
access remains quite good, and while everything is new, it's also
smart since the truck really was built to drive. Power steering and
power 4-wheel disc brakes are worthy upgrades when you're reworking
an entire vehicle, and when the truck was restored, the entire
chassis was painted. The suspension has been augmented with a lot
of new parts, and it's also been lowered a bit to give it that
awesome rake. Long-tube headers feed a fresh Flowmaster dual
exhaust system with electric cut-outs sounds fantastic behind the
fresh big block, and between the 700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive and a shift kit, and the 12-bolt rear
with 3.07 gears inside, cruising is effortless. Shiny Foose chrome
wheels look right and are wrapped with fat 235/55/17 front and
255/55/17 Pirelli performance radials that have enough sidewall to
make this truck look like a truck.
There's obviously a ton of money wrapped up in this build, but the
effort will pay off handsomely for the next lucky owner. Call
