Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to offer this exceptional
1987 GMC Sierra 1500 Custom Restomod, a professionally built
square-body pickup combining timeless GMC styling with modern fuel
injection, overdrive drivability, premium suspension components,
serious braking capability, and an extraordinary custom
interior.
The exterior is finished in a striking two-tone combination of
metallic copper and cream. The rich copper finish covers the upper
body and bed, while the cream lower section and roof provide a
tasteful contrast that works perfectly with the truck's original
Sierra Classic body lines. Bright chrome bumpers, polished trim,
Sierra Classic 1500 badging, and a color-matched bed with textured
protective coating complete the presentation.
Power comes from a built Chevrolet 350ci V8 equipped with Holley
Sniper electronic fuel injection. The EFI system provides easier
cold starts, improved throttle response, and modern fuel control
while retaining the sound and character of a traditional
small-block Chevrolet. A Holley Sniper handheld display is mounted
inside the custom console for monitoring and adjustment.
The engine is backed by a 700R4 four-speed automatic overdrive
transmission, giving the truck strong street performance with more
relaxed engine speed during highway driving. Long-tube headers feed
a performance dual-exhaust system, producing the deep, muscular
exhaust note expected from a properly built square-body.
The engine compartment is clean and color coordinated, featuring a
CVF front accessory-drive system, aluminum radiator, power
steering, and neatly arranged components. Custom hood hinges add
another polished detail when the hood is raised.
Underneath, this Sierra is equipped with premium QA1 suspension
components and front and rear coilovers. The adjustable suspension
gives the truck its aggressive lowered stance while providing
improved ride quality and handling compared with the original
suspension.
A custom narrowed 12-bolt rear end and widened rear wheel tubs
allow the truck to accommodate its substantial rear wheel and tire
package. The 22-inch polished billet wheels are wrapped in
265/30ZR22 front and massive 335/25ZR22 rear tires, creating a
wide, planted appearance without overpowering the classic body
design.
Braking performance has been substantially upgraded with Wilwood
power disc brakes. The Wilwood master-cylinder hardware is neatly
installed and complements the truck's performance-oriented chassis
and suspension upgrades.
The interior is one of the most impressive parts of the entire
build. Approximately $27,000 was invested in a fully custom cabin
finished in premium real leather. The caramel-colored upholstery
extends across the contoured seating, dashboard, door panels,
headliner, visors, center console, and surrounding trim.
Contrasting stitching, perforated inserts, woven accent material,
and billet trim demonstrate the level of craftsmanship
throughout.
A custom billet steering wheel sits in front of Dakota Digital
instrumentation, providing modern, accurate readings within a clean
six-gauge layout. The custom center console houses a Pioneer
touchscreen audio system, the Holley Sniper EFI display, dual
stainless cupholders, storage, and additional controls. Integrated
speakers, billet pedals, custom lighting, and a fully upholstered
headliner complete the luxury presentation.
This Sierra was not built using budget components or shortcuts.
From its QA1 coilover suspension and narrowed 12-bolt rear end to
its Wilwood brakes, Dakota Digital gauges, Holley Sniper EFI, and
approximately $27,000 custom interior, the truck reflects a
substantial investment in both parts and professional
craftsmanship.
For the collector searching for a premium square-body GMC with
show-quality presentation, modern drivability, and high-end
components throughout, this 1987 Sierra would be extremely
difficult-and considerably more expensive-to duplicate today.
