For Sale: 1985 Chevrolet C10 in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 1985 Chevrolet C10 Silverado is a very cool kind of classic. It has the genuine patina look we all love. And they also took the time to make it a true cruiser with an upgraded crate V8, an overdrive transmission, and cold-blowing A/C.

This Silverado has a genuine style where the Midnight Blue has matured into a true patina. And for many of us, this useful truck look is better than any candy-coated classic out there. A few marks in the bed, incomplete trim, and older blue pinstriping add character that hide a clean and complete body. So while this is also a good start for a restoration, we like how this Chevy already has a look of respect that has been earned over decades. Plus, few people will mistake it for stock because there are the right hints of the upgraded machine within. You may spot the dual exhaust tips or shine of the bumpers. And the 20-inch alloys certainly give it an upgraded appearance. So you know it's a cool cruiser, but just how solid a driver this patina is may surprise many.

The interior continues the appearance of stock and aged and also updated to stay useful and attractive. The best Silverados came loaded from the factory, and this one still has the best with power windows, power locks, a sliding rear window, and a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo. There's a tilt steering column to give you a good view of the wraparound gauge panel. So you can spot all the readouts, including the rarely-seen working factory clock. And the updated R134a air conditioning system lets you know this true classic is truly made for modern cruising comfort.

Under the hood is a fresher 350 cubic-inch crate V8. It has been upgraded with an Edelbrock suite that includes finned valve covers, a four-barrel carburetor, and an Air Gap intake. It fires up eagerly, and the headers add power while giving a nice tune to the dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. Power steering, power brakes, front discs, and modern sport tires make for a solid cruiser. Plus, you have cruise control and a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive to give this classic even appeal for highway road trips.

The sale comes complete with nice paperwork like the original bill of sale, warranty card, owner's manual, and build receipts. There are even spare components, too. It's all about a truck that shows its history while also being fun for modern times. Call today!!!
