You can instantly tell there's something special about this 1971
Chevrolet C10 454 Restomod. There are barely any miles on it since
completion, so you get an outstandingly slick appearance. Plus, you
have serious big block power, a custom A/C interior, upgraded
suspension, and all the other details that make this a true
stunner.
With less than 60 miles on the build (yes, under 60 miles!) this
truck has a presence that will have people gravitating towards it.
The fresh black paint has the ideal sleekness to give you the look
of a dark mirror. When the sunlight hits it, it radiates as it
highlights all the crisp angles of the restored body and its new
sheetmetal (including the well-defined creases and sporty fender
flares.) Plus, all the body's glossy black makes a terrific
intimidating attitude that's furthered by the performance-minded
upgrades. They expertly integrated details like an aggressive cowl
hood, and re-located the gas cap to the bed for a sleeker body.
Plus, the modern US Mags wheels have a large 20-inch size that draw
added attention to the lowered suspension. And this all hints that
you're going to like what's under the hood (more on that in a
moment.)
The interior has been restored to give you the best of classic
details and all the right upgrades. It starts with the
western-style pattern on the door panels that made these C10s
famous. The leather, bench, seat has houndstooth cloth inserts that
are legendary in Chevy's muscle cars (another indication of the
power this one brings to the streets.) There are some nice upgrades
for comfort/convenience like the tilt steering column, an upgraded
AM/FM stereo with modern USB input and Bluetooth, and cold-blowing
R134a air conditioning. When you slip behind the three-spoke sports
steering wheel, you have a full AutoMeter Carbon Fiber Ultra-lite
gauge package with large speedo and tach.
The engine bay immediately reminds you again of how fresh and
custom this build is with the smooth inner fenders and firewall
that funnel your attention to the shining big block in the middle.
While the polish makes this ready for the car show, this one was
really built for driving. The 454 cubic-inch V8 has a mild cam,
Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and a large
aluminum radiator to help keep it running cool. In fact, speaking
of good all-around performance, the V8 is mated to a TH350
three-speed transmission that provides both automatic cruising and
a nice stall for performance driving. This feeds a stout 12-bolt
locker rear end. Take some extra time with the undercarriage
photos. You'll see some terrific upgrades, like the C-notched frame
for proper lowering, strong Mark Williams axles, and an awesome
four-link rear with adjustable coilovers. It all goes to prove how
thoughtful this powerful build is. You even have great anytime
driving features, like power steering and power brakes w/discs up
front.
Sleek, fresh, and loaded, you'll love showing it and driving it
from the moment you leave our showroom. So don't let this upgraded
C10 go into someone else's garage. Call now!
