Vehicle Description
A restomod is all about integrating added comfort and function in a
classic. That's why this 1967 Chevrolet C10 still has small block
power, but now with fuel injection and the control of a five-speed.
It's also why the classic paint and houndstooth interior look fresh
and clean. Plus, other upgrades like air conditioning and
four-wheel disc brakes are subtly added to make sure this is the
classic-looking Chevy that you'll want to drive every day.
The paint sets the right tone for this truck. Hugger Orange is a
great Chevy muscle car color, but the white roof and white tailgate
lettering are pure pickup charm. And it all has the clean and sleek
look of a quality respray done during the restoration. So the truck
has the right look of vintage and upgraded all in the same glance.
That's why the classic chrome bumpers, clean body lines, and liner
paint in the useful bed are just a good reminder of a solid pickup.
But those modern US Mags 17-inch alloys on the lowered stance are
an instant signal of an updated cruiser. It has all been a labor of
love for the consignor who started this project in 2011. He's done
everything from relocating the gas tank under the bed to replacing
the full cab (that's why the pickup's VIN will come back as a GMC
on this Chevy.) He built it right where the 19k miles on the
odometer reflect the usefulness of this pickup - including three
Power Tours! So it's built to be driven, and we bet that has some
of you thinking about what it would look like parked next to the
sedate Range Rovers in the commuter corporate parking lot.
The interior shows off another great piece that reminds us of power
Chevys: the houndstooth cloth. But while these were popular for the
1960s Camaros, it's also at home in this 1960s C10. This joins the
newer door panels, smooth dash, newer floor cover, and clean
headliner for an inviting style. You have plenty of well-integrated
upgrades, like cold-blowing air conditioning, a retro-style AM/FM
radio, and one-piece side window glass. And there's a proper
driver's experience with a wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, power
steering, floor shifter with a cool orange 5-ball topper, and a
full set of Classic Instrument readouts with a handy tach in the
middle.
Under the hood is classic Chevy small block power, but this 350
cubic-inch V8 has the center bolt valve covers of the later Vortec
motor. It inhales deeply with a fresh air intake, and the headers
let this exhale with added power and authority into the H-pipe dual
exhaust. Plus, the Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection is the
key to giving this the right level of power and consistency to be a
great all-around driver. But more than just a powerful and
steadfast heart, the full upgrades were all about giving this an
anytime level of useful appeal. The five-speed manual transmission
gives you proper control over the power, including overdrive
comfort for the highway. This feeds into a stout 12-bolt rear end
with Positraction and versatile 3.73 gears. The suspension includes
upgrades like four-wheel power disc brakes, modern Toyo tires, and
sway bars front & rear.
Complete with restoration photos, this C10 was carefully restored
to give you fuel-injected power, a comfortable A/C interior, a
vibrant style, and an all-around awesome driving experience. So you
know this stunner deserves the prime spot in your garage. Call
