1969 Chevrolet C10 Custom Pickup
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Featuring a very stout 350 V-8, a 700R automatic transmission, and a quality, extensive restoration, this beautiful pickup is definitely for the collector who wants to stand out from the crowd. Built in Detroit as a working man's truck, today, no one can deny the respect that a straight, solid C10 like this one commands. Today's market is hot for solid, straight '60s pickups, and this fine example surely fits the bill.
The first thing you will notice is the slick Forest Green paint job. It is well-applied over all-new doors, hood, fenders, and bed, with lovely fit and finish throughout. This is exactly the kind of truck you've admired at shows, not because it was so flashy, but rather because it was so well done and accurate. This body has been refinished to standards that certainly would have stunned the guys who bought these as working machines back in 1967. Take a look at the gaps and how well everything fits and notice how easily the doors close - effortlessly and flush, akin to a modern truck. The bed is just as nice, with fresh straight grained oak flooring and stainless trim done just the way you'd do it yourself. Bright chrome bumpers, twin tailpipes peeking out from underneath, and the Chevrolet grille augmented with extra billet chrome make this a truck thats style is attractive to any enthusiast. Bright five-spoke chrome American Racing wheels sparkle against the sleek Forest Green paint and modern radial tires.
Open the hood and prepare to be impressed by the tidy presentation and thoughtful build. Performance chrome heads flank the big Holley carburetor on the 350 V-8, with just enough billet and chrome to keep things interesting. A big radiator up front keeps it cool under just about any conditions and the shiny green firewall and inner fenders make a great background for this classic performance engine. Mix in a 12-bolt Posi rear-end and Flowmaster headers under a new cowl-induction hood, and this C10 not only looks great, but it is also fully ready to roll. A modern three-spoke steering wheel with a wooden rim replaces the big plastic original, with a brand-new tilt column. Yes, that is a floor-mounted automatic dressing up the passenger compartment as well. Custom tri-color vinyl seats and door panels finish off the classy interior and a modern sound system and new gauges make this an incredibly fun and easy-to-drive truck. All the trim, details, and glass are clean and beautifully finished - just waiting for the lucky high bidder to jump in and turn the key.
This unusual, handsome, and surprisingly potent pickup is as practical as it is fun. It is also every bit as nice as it looks in photos. Whether you are about to enjoy a Friday night cruise-in or head to the country club for a few rounds of golf, this cool pickup will certainly cause a stir wherever it goes, and with just six post-restoration miles, the fortunate new owner can certainly be ensured many years of fun cruising.
