1971 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne

Description

Sometimes the right machine comes along that you know you love for work AND play. This 1971 Chevrolet C10 Cheyenne has the function of a long bed truck, the comfort of rare bucket seat interior (and A/C!), and a strong V8. Best of all, this distinct classic has an affordable price.

This one has the look of an honest day's work. The red paint has the kind of appearance that will have people assume you're driving a survivor, and it also still looks bold in the sunshine. Because this is a higher-level Cheyenne trim, it comes with some nice extra body chrome, including the upper and lower body side accents. These add to the distinction while also showcasing how straight the sheetmetal remains today. Even the bright hubcaps have that original '70s flair. And the real purpose of a pickup like this is to enjoy classic motoring while also still getting down to real truck duty. So we know you love that this is a long bed pickup that can carry the larger loads and do more chores. Plus, with details like tailgate top protector and step bumper w/trailer ball, this one is ready to work right now.

Inside is a highly original interior that's going to draw some attention. After all, truck people know how rare it is to have a factory bucket seat interior with center console in-between. And this one has a great original feel, right down to the premium Cheyenne textured insert on the seat and matching door panels. But vintage motoring doesn't mean having to be uncomfortable. The radio has been upgraded to a retro-style AM/FM/cassette player for more modern tunes without jeopardizing the vintage look. And the factory air conditioning is blowing nice and cold.

The engine bay looks as authentic as the rest of the truck, but as you dig deeper, you'll find some subtle upgrades that really allow this to stay a strong runner. For starters, the 350 cubic-inch V8 is a younger crate motor. Plus, the spark plugs, cap, rotor, and points were all recently serviced. It even has a new starter. The four-barrel carburetor lets the V8 inhale deeply, and that helps given an even sweeter tune to the dual exhaust. Out on the road, this pickup has all the right features to stay comfortable. It includes the smooth three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, brand new tires, and the C10's sought-after trailing arm rear suspension.

The sale come complete with the original warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records. It proves that this honest pickup has the right features and investments to be both useful and distinct. Don't let this one slip away, call today!
