For Sale: 1987 Chevrolet S10 in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Everyone from Ford to Hyundai is getting back into the small pickup game, and when that happens, we always get reminded that the classics are even better. That's especially true with this exceptionally presented 1987 Chevrolet S-10. It has a bright style, solid V6 power, an overdrive transmission, and an A/C interior. It's a well-invested classic that also is offered for a value price.

There are a lot of subtle upgrades that have gone into this pickup to make this an all-around terrific ride. It starts with the paint. The red is a respray that took time to deliver some serious quality. You'll love the radiant style and deep gloss that will let this classic steal attention from brand-new trucks. It also makes for a great way to show off the S-10's well-creased sheet metal. And it even looks like the bed was taken off during the respray for the clean look of extra care. So while the low odometer represents the full actual mileage (averaging under 2,200 miles annually,) the paint and body make this look even more impressive. There are even a few unique details that add distinction without leaving the Chevy family. This includes the classic-style Rally wheels and a smooth-er Blazer sport rear chrome bumper.

The interior continues the look of exceptional care. The soft velour seating, plush carpeting, good door panels, and smooth dash are quite stock and impressive. Even the lights still greet you when you open the door. There are nice factory features including a tilt steering column and an AM/FM cassette stereo. The upgrades are subtle like the tinted windows and the cup holders. Plus, the factory air conditioning has been given an investment in newer components and is now blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant.

The 2.8-liter V6 was the right-sized motor for these smaller/lighter pickups. Plus, a later version like this 1987 model came with handy updates, like fuel injection and a four-speed automatic transmission. Sure, there are plenty of powerful Chevy V8s that fit in this engine bay, and that makes for a great combo with these lightweight pickups. But there's also something attractive about an honest classic that has been presented this well. It's a stout-running package that loves to cruise. After all, you not only have the overdrive transmission, but also power steering, power brakes, and front discs for an all-around easy driver.

So when your neighbor brings home one of those new small trucks, make sure you have this one out in your driveway. It's the shining and loaded example of why we love the segment so much. And while this level of classic pickup distinction will make your neighbor jealous, he'll really be floored by how much less you paid to get it. Call today!!!
