Vehicle Description
This 1987 Chevrolet Silverado is a great mix of classic style,
distinctive upgrades, a ton of usability. So when a truck can stand
out and still get the job done, you know you've found an impressive
total package.
This Chevy has a bit of the street machine attitude. After all, the
factory-correct Garnet Red has been given a recent respray really
deliver a vibrant look. The high-gloss finish loves to show off the
well-creased sheetmetal that keep this generation of Chevys
popular. The chrome bumpers shine brightly, and so they go nicely
with the upgraded Budnik 17-inch wheels. And those modern alloys
look particularly sporty on this lowered suspension. But as good as
this truck looks, it still never loses that practical side we want
in a pickup. There's the rear step bumper w/hitch, wider trailering
mirrors, and a new LineX spray-in bed liner that all mean this
classic still knows how to get to work.
Inside is a highly stock interior. The black looks good against the
red, and everything looks well-respected (this is only a two-owner
truck.) There have been some of the right upgrades, including air
conditioning blowing cold with modern R134a. We love this
generation of pickup for the way the dash wraps around the driver
almost like a sports car. You even have driver-oriented nice extras
like a tilt steering column and cruise control, so this one can be
comfortable for the long haul.
What makes the 1987 Chevy truck models so special is that it was
the last year for the classic bodylines, but the first year you
could get fuel injection. This gives the numbers-matching 305
cubic-inch V8 under the hood a real advantage for usability and
performance. And while this built to be a true pickup more than a
sports machine, the floor-shift four-speed manual transmission is a
nice feature to give you full control of the fuel-injected V8. Add
in power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and modern BF
Goodrich tires, and this is a smooth pickup you can easily enjoy
near or far.
This Chevy has lived a good life and only in Tennessee, so it makes
for a nice local boy with plenty of added flair. It's a great
package offered for a great price, so call today!
