Vehicle Description
This 1965 Chevrolet C10 truly represents the best of everything
vintage. It's a restored pickup that will transport you half a
century back in time with one of the most honest and clean
presentations you'll find anywhere. And the reason why you can find
such a vintage pickup is that this is the first time it has ever
been offered outside of the original family.
There have been some big investments all around this truck. The
light blue paint sets the tone nicely for a 1960s machine. And the
quality of the respray really takes you back to when this one first
hit the road. You also see good work in the clean painted wood on
the long bed floor and overall clean lines of the sheet metal. The
white bumpers, grille, and tailgate lettering even give this a
subtle two-tone. This Chevy is all about a vintage kind of cool,
right down to the great-looking wheel setup with classic hubcaps.
The reason for such a classic truck is because this one has a true
family history. It was purchased new by the father and then passed
to the sons. It has such a strong connection that it was given a
comprehensive restoration in 2011. We even have a full itemized
spreadsheet of the work and components that went into getting this
family heirloom back to the day when dad first had it.
Just like the exterior, the interior has been restored to be clean,
simple, and absolutely vintage. In fact, if you pay close
attention, the color of the wheels is also the metallic tan that's
the foundation of the interior. The whole package really turns back
the clock with the thin/grippy steering wheel, rubber floor mat,
smooth steel dash, and detailed cloth pattern for the bench seat.
The only real modern upgrade you're going to spot is a
well-integrated retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with cassette.
After all, a truck restored to be a classic cruiser needs the right
driving music.
Vintage pickup lovers will marvel at this ultra-clean and
ultra-honest engine bay. The 292 cubic-inch inline-six is a
famously hardy Chevy powerhouse. So while we all know that Chevy's
big blocks will fit in this ample engine bay, that's not the point
of owning this one. It's simple, correct, and strong - just like
the best pickups once were. You take control of the motor with the
classic action of the column-shifted three-speed manual
transmission, and it gives you that unbeatable vintage easy
cruising feel. It's a smooth runner that really lets you know the
investments in this one were far more than cosmetic. So this one
loves to head on down the highways and byways with a true feel for
the road.
The sale comes complete with build receipts, service manuals, a
classic photo CD, a truck cover, and more. This is a vintage
stunner, and so if you love a true classic truck, you know you
can't let this one get away. Call today!!!
