1962 Chevrolet C10 Restomod

Description

Take some extra time looking over this 1962 Chevrolet C10 Restomod, because they took extra time building it. The distinct two-tone exterior, leather-lined interior, and fuel-injected Vortec V8 are all part of a thoughtfully upgraded pickup package.

This was one of the first years for the C10, and this one shows off all the best pieces of the era. The two-tone is a great vintage combo. The glossy blue highlights the beltline curve that gave this generation an hourglass kind of figure. And the white does a terrific job of drawing extra attention to the full-length trim that shows off how straight the sheet metal is. Mirror-like bumpers, a white roof, and Custom-line cab corners are all about the thoughtful details. There's only about 12k miles on this build, and the overall use shows quite good care. So you can really see the terrifically detailed vintage package, right down to the glossy and premium oak wood in the truck bed. However, there are also the right hints that this is an upgraded machine. The aggressive forward-leaning stance, half-moon hubcaps, and distinct front end give this classic the right individual touch.

The interior continues the vintage style with thoughtful upgrades. For example, the two-tone continues on the inside. The blue highlights the smooth classic steel of the doors and dash. The white introduces a supple leather seat that has far better contouring than a stock bench, and it even has built-in cup holders. The most obvious upgrade of them all is the AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input that allows you the best in modern driving music. Plus, the driver's upgrades are subtle but significant. The classic-style steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, there's a tall Lokar shifter, and your readouts are now a full set of Dolphin backlit gauges.

You are going to lift the hood everywhere you park just so you can show off the modern powerhouse nestled in such a tidy engine bay. The 5.3-liter Vortec V8 was installed with such care that the fuel-injected powerhouse looks like the factory installed it. And the smooth black presentation looks like it came off the line yesterday. And while this is already a healthy upgrade in power, they took it a step further. It now has a 92mm throttle body, 706 heads, and Dougs headers feeding an X-pipe dual exhaust. This is the right kind of truck to receive the motor upgrade. This first-gen C10 put Chevy on a smoother riding coil spring rear suspension, and so it makes for a better cruising pickup. And features like the four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan are everyday useful kinds of upgrades. Plus, you have power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide Cooper Cobra tires to make for an all-around solid driver.

Complete with the owner's manual, this Chevy has been given the right investment in both vintage style and modern cruising upgrades. It makes for a stunner that you can show off near or far in comfort. Call today!!!
