Vehicle Description
A restomod is all about taking something vintage and giving it the
best upgrades, and this 1972 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne Restomod really
lives up to that feeling. The paint is original and heading towards
patina, and you even have a rare bucket seat interior. But there
was also a ton invested new in performance and comfort, including
an upgraded suspension, overdrive transmission, four-wheel disc
brakes, an A/C interior, and a mighty fuel-injected 430hp stroker
V8.
The first glance at the Hugger Orange paint will have people assume
you're driving a survivor. And they'll be right...sorta. This is
the original application of the iconic Chevy color, and it has the
right amount of fade that still looks bold while still one step
away from having a true patina look. So it wears its originality
with pride. But this is far more than just a history lesson. The
lowered stance and 20-inch Ridler alloys show someone has made a
nice investment in giving this survivor some street machine
attitude. You see more of it on the new bumpers, new grille, and
full LED lighting package. The black tonneau cover looks good
combined with the new black trim, and beneath it, the bed has been
done in liner paint in case you still want to get down to real
truck duty.
Inside is an original feature that's sure to draw some attention.
After all, truck people know how rare it is to have a factory
bucket seat interior with center console in-between. And this one
has a great original feel, right down to the premium Cheyenne
textured insert on the seat and matching door panels. More than
just vintage there was a solid investment here to make this one
even more comfortable. It includes modern R134a air conditioning,
an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth, and modern Dynamat insulation.
As a bucket seat truck you want a nice driving experience. So they
gave you great features like Chevy's sports steering wheel mounted
on a tilt column, power steering, full gauge package w/tach, and a
Lokar floor shifter.
The engine bay looks crisp, tidy, and awesome. It instantly conveys
the look of a big investment. BluePrint 383 cubic-inch stroker V8.
They build this as forceful setup with aluminum heads and other
go-fast goodies to be ready for 430 horsepower and 450 ft-lbs
torque. And that does not necessarily include other upgrades like
the adjustable Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection and the
Hedman headers. And as you look through engine bay, you'll also see
the best in supporting components, including a March serpentine
pulley system, Optima red top battery, and an aluminum radiator.
The transmission is a 700R4 four-speed automatic w/overdrive that
has been upgraded with constant pressure value body, 2200 RPM stall
converter, and Sonnax 1st gear all to keep you in the optimal power
band. And this feeds a stout Eaton Detroit Truetrac 12-bolt rear
with versatile 3.73 gears. As you look at the undercarriage photos,
you're going to see a big investment from the masters at CPP,
including a four-wheel disc big brake kit with drilled and slotted
rotors.
The sale come complete with the original warranty card and original
bill of sale to prove its level of classic authenticity. And the
way this feels on the road proves it has been given all the best
power and poise of a true restomod. Don't let this one slip away,
