Show-Quality Summit White
If you're looking for a showstopper that blends vintage Chevy truck
appeal with cutting-edge performance and premium modern touches,
this 1996 Chevrolet C1500 Restomod is the build you've been waiting
for. Professionally crafted and meticulously detailed, this truck
combines aggressive power, custom style, and turn-key
reliability-ready for both weekend cruising and serious power
potential.
High-End Restomod with No Corners Cut
With over $50,000 in documented receipts, this build reflects a
no-expense-spared approach. The show-quality Summit White
paint-completed in April 2022-features paint-matched bumpers,
grille, and bed interior. A full paint correction and 10-year
ceramic coating was applied in September 2023, along with paint
protection film on the front bumper, grille, and hood to maintain
its pristine appearance.

built to handle up to 15 lbs of boost. Key highlights include:
BTR Stage 3 cam, dual valve springs, upgraded LS rocker
trunions
PRC 220cc heads, FAST 102 intake, FAST Big Mouth 102mm throttle

Ready to Drive or Take to the Next Level

is essentially a fresh build. It runs strong, turns heads, and
sounds amazing thanks to ceramic-coated long tube headers feeding a
custom 3" stainless exhaust with MagnaFlow mufflers. Whether you
want to enjoy it naturally aspirated or add a blower or turbo
setup, it's already prepped for serious performance.
This 1996 Chevy C1500 is more than a resto-mod-it's a fully
executed vision of power, precision, and presence. From the
spotless Summit White finish to the boost-ready drivetrain, this
truck is a true investment-grade performer.
