For Sale at Auction: 1966 GMC 1500 in Palm Beach, Florida

Vehicle Description

This 1966 GMC 1500 custom pickup known as "The Color Purple" was built with the seller's son for Drag Week 2024. This complete frame-off build started in July 2022 and was completed in July 2024, with help from some of the best in the game: House of Boost, Simple C10 and RSR. The pickup wears its original GTO purple, as the original owner worked at the GTO factory and brought this hue to life on the pickup. The body remains untouched, except for fresh side trim to enhance its classic look. Under the hood, engine builder Joel Little put together a 5.3-liter V8 engine with ported heads and a ported LSA blower. Power is transferred through a Stage-5 built 4L60E automatic transmission with a Circle D torque converter. The frame was completely torn down, stiffened, C-notched and fitted with a driveshaft loop before being painted. For handling, the front suspension features CPP spindles paired with a full Airlift setup front and rear, all adjustable via phone and remote. CPP sway bars tighten up track performance, and stopping power comes from a 14-inch CPP big brake kit at all four corners, working with a Porterbuilt Frames master cylinder and stainless-steel brake lines. This pickup was featured in the January 2025 issue of C/K Truck magazine. ** PREVIEW
