Vehicle Description
We've had a lot of Chevy pickups come through our showroom, but
quite frankly NONE have approached the incredible design and build
quality of this 1972 Chevrolet C10 Restomod. From the nearly
perfect Hammerhead Gray paint, to the spectacular red leather
interior, to the Supercharged LS3 V8 under the hood, and the
Roadster Shop chassis underneath, it delivers show-dominating looks
and offers otherworldly performance and comfort for those who love
to drive. Stop looking, this is the best-of-the-best.
You already know from the price that this truck is something
special. There's not a panel on it that hasn't been smoothed,
molded, or altered in some way (check out those shaved drip rails
and all the custom work on the bed), yet it's still 100%
recognizable as one of Chevy's finest. Deleting most of the trim
and emblems certainly helps achieve a slick look, but it's that
Hammerhead Gray paint applied by the wunderkind Bright Brothers LLC
in Alvarado, Texas that really seals the deal. Lots of time and
effort went into getting all the bodywork smooth, and it shows,
with great gaps and a sinister, shiny final finish that makes this
truck show-worthy in every way. You'll noticed that the front clip
was swapped in from a '67-'68 model C-10, and then the front bumper
was smoothed and tucked in close to the body, then painted to match
the body. The same goes for the rear bumper, which hangs under a
trick tailgate that fits better than any other we've seen. And yes,
the wood-bed floor is an absolute work of art. We realize it's not
for hauling anymore, but the workmanship is impressive and we
guarantee it's the one thing that everyone will stop to admire.
Well, once they pick their jaws up from the ground.
The interior is every bit as well finished as the bodywork, with
incredible craftsmanship completed by Paul Ackins in Alabama.
Custom stitched leather seat covers on the low-back buckets and
custom middle console update the C10's formerly bare-bones
interior, and deep red looks amazing against the gray exterior
paint. The door panels are likewise unique works of art that
incorporate beautiful stitching with artistic flourishes like the
integrated arm rests and flashes of billet chrome trim. This
Chevy's original instrument panel remains intact, but it's encased
in a custom panel and the gauges are now big, bold digital dials
framed by a custom Budnik steering wheel on a tilt column. The
padded portion of the dash is upholstered to match the seat, and
plush carpets illuminated with LED lighting on the floors help
control noise and heat for comfortable cruising. Thanks to a
powerful Vintage A/C system you don't have to worry about long
highway drives in warm weather, and an Alpine
AM/FM/CD/AUX/Satellite/Bluetooth stereo system fits in the original
slot and powers speakers hidden out of sight. That custom middle
console with a late-model shifter and cup holders, storage and
power window controls may be the coolest part of the truck, but
it's hard to pick favorites. This is simply one of the coolest
interiors that we've ever seen.
A thundering Supercharged LS3 fuel-injected V8 under the hood gives
this truck performance to match its looks. The modern block and
Magnus Supercharger shave weight as well as build horsepower and
it's topped by big fuel injectors and a modern cold air intake
system and all impeccably wired together with an American
Automotive wiring harness. There's a lot of polished aluminum,
chrome, and billet bits throughout, including the finned valve
covers and Concept One pulley system for the accessories, and the
insanely slick gray engine bay with a smoothed firewall and inner
fenders were obviously prepped and finished before the big block
went in. We've supplied a lot of undercarriage photos so you can
see just how amazing this truck is from below, including that
top-of-the-line Roadster Shop suspension (look them up if you don't
know them they're arguably the best in the world), 14-inch Baer
disc brakes, giant sway bars, coilovers, and a built 4-speed
overdrive automatic from the pros at Phoenix Transmission in
Weatherford, Texas. The amazing custom dual exhaust system was put
together by Kenny's Muffler Shop with exits just beyond the rear
wheels and it sounds pretty much better than anything I've ever
heard emitting from a vintage truck. High-dollar Budnik wheels will
always look great on GM muscle, and these color-matched and
staggered beauties are no exception, wearing fat 255/40/19 front
and 335/30/20 rear Pirelli performance tires that finish the look
and grip asphalt like no other rubber really can.
Built for show yet absolutely functional, this recently restored
pickup (only 1,792 miles on the build!) embodies vastly more work
than your average restomod C-10 special. There's surely vastly more
than the asking price tied up in this amazing build, so if you like
the look you're going to love the way it eats up the road. Call
