Vehicle Description
This 1971 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a thorough and thoughtful
build. That's why you have the aircraft-inspired interior,
cold-blowing A/C, four-wheel disc brakes, a fully adjustable air
ride suspension, and a six-speed auto transmission. Plus, when you
look in the engine bay, there's an LS-based supercharged V8 making
sure that this custom long bed is bringing lengthy power to the
streets.
This truck wants to make sure it gets noticed. It was born a
two-tone that included Hugger Orange, but the restoration and
respray upgraded it to a full muscle car-style boldness. It's part
of a full custom respray that included cool purple ghost flames
down the side. The paint was done in 1999, and it has been treated
with care since. So today that means you have the right mix where
the stylishness makes people remember this truck just by seeing it
at the stoplight, and there's an overall easy driver finish that
will have you taking it out every chance you get. And the paint is
far from the only custom piece. The whole front end shines brighter
with a billet grille, custom bow tie, and crystal-clear headlights.
And the rear has a smoother style with the flush roll pan and
aerodynamic tonneau bed cover. Plus, the profile loves to look
sleeker, too. They deleted the badges, top-mounted the mirrors, and
shaved the door handles. So there's less clutter and more attention
is on the 20-inch Adventus AVS4 wheels. So it's great to have them
fit in the wheel wells so nicely, especially when the air ride has
the stance sporty and low.
The key fob has your door popper, and this is your gateway to a
full custom setup. The black interior looks good against the orange
exterior, and there are even orange accents on the dash and doors.
There's some age to the orange paint, and that may have been done
on purpose because the dash reminds us of a classic airplane. All
the toggle switches and individual gauges bolted to the panel mean
this Chevy is more like a P51 Mustang. More than just looking
powerful, the Procar bucket seats, Grant GT sports steering wheel,
and B&M ratchet shifter make sure you have the right components
to give you confident control over the performance. And while this
one certainly plays the part of a power pickup, there is also a
comfortable overall style with good carpeting, a newer headliner, a
cup holder center console, and cold-blowing air conditioning.
While there are plenty of attractive custom components on the
interior and exterior that will draw a crowd, we're willing to bet
the big air grabber peeking out of the hood is what really brings
them all to you. This 6.0-liter L77 V8 motor is a great modern
fuel-injected base. The consignor states it has been enhanced and
fortified with stainless valves, rectangular port 823 heads, LS9
Head Gaskets, BTR dual valve springs with titanium retainers, LS3
Rockers with Tick Performance trunnion upgrade, and 9.6:1
compression. But of course, the real crowd-pleaser and power-maker
is the Weiand blower and dual throttle bodies sitting on top of
this V8. This even exhales with power as Hedman headers add power
and thunder to the H-pipe dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. You
also have the right supporting pieces, including an aluminum
radiator and four electric fans. A stout 6L80 six-speed automatic
transmission was also added so that you have good ratios to handle
the full power. It feeds a Richmond 4.10 with Yukon Duragrip
limited-slip rear for confident and powerful take-offs. The
undercarriage photos reveal terrific suspension upgrades like the
tubular front arms, Hotchkis shocks, and upgraded sway bars front
and rear. Power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and the
grip of modern sport tires complete this true cruising package.
This is an impressive air ride supercharged restomod. And we
especially like how this custom and powerful pickup was really made
to be driven and enjoyed. Don't let it slip away. Call today!!!
