Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevrolet C10 has much more going for it than just a
sinister paintjob. It features a performance-built 396 V8 under the
hood that feeds a specially adapted rear end from Michael Waltrip's
NASCAR racer. So you're looking at 500 hp worth of rolling
history.
Let's start with the paint on this awesome custom build. The
one-of-a-kind two-tone Victory Red and Onyx is the kind of
investment in automotive artistry that it makes the pickup already
worth its asking price before diving into the performance
components. You can see a small fortune must have gone into getting
the body looking this amazingly straight before the mirror-like red
and black were applied. As you pour over every detail, more and
more custom pieces keep coming to mind. The billet wheels, the
lowered stance, the custom roll pan, and the list goes on - you
could own this truck for decades and still discover something new
every time you go out to the garage. But this is still a workman at
heart, that's why the truck bed has Rhino Liner paint (just imagine
showing up to Home Depot in this beast!)
Inside, the red and black theme continues. The dark leather and
suede seats have an aggressive red stitching that matches the
exterior as well as the interior accent color. You get a great
custom three-spoke steering wheel, B&M shifter, and a large
AutoMeter speed and memory tach. Just to the side of it is a custom
panel that would usually carry the radio. But in a truck this cool,
instead you get a full auxiliary gauge package. It's a subtle hint
that the dual exhaust produces the best soundtrack.
You might need your sunglasses before you check out this beastly
motor (after all, when was the last time you saw polished inner
fenders?!) The callouts on the shiny valve covers aren't lying;
that's a desirable 396 cubic-inch V8 block from 1968. It's been
rebuilt for power, including a Holley four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock 396 intake, and ceramic long tube headers. The full
package is claimed to make 500 horsepower, and the monster motor
stays cool even in traffic thanks to the Champions aluminum
radiator. But to fully understand how special this truck is, you
need to look at the undercarriage photos. Everything was stripped
down to bare metal, and then the custom components were added to
the restored frame. It's a one-of-a-kind custom build that includes
a 9-inch rear end from Michael Waltrip's NASCAR. Rebuilding and
adapting this piece alone cost $18,000, and it was built mostly
with parts that are not sold to the public! But that's far from the
only upgrade. The independent front suspension has new shocks
springs, bushiness, etc. These C10s are already desirable for the
trailing arm rear suspension, and now this one has been adapted to
accept a custom coilover setup. Add in power steering, four-wheel
disc brakes (Brembos in the rear), a stout TH400 three-speed
transmission, and wide Mickey Thompson rubber, and this is a custom
build that has thought of everything.
We haven't even come close to going over all the details of this
amazing build. So you can call us for all the details...but we know
you already recognize that the asking price is far below the sum of
the build cost. And remember, once this custom pickup is gone,
there won't be another one like it.
