1976 Chevrolet C10 Restomod

Description

The awesome two-tone look makes this 1976 Chevrolet C10 Restomod instantly distinctive. And when you see the loaded A/C interior, overdrive transmission, and overall fresh style of this 800-mile build, you can really see how this classic style machine has a terrific everyday appeal. But don't forget to peek under the hood, because there is a modern LS3 juggernaut lurking in this sleek classic.

Restomods are all about classic style and giving them modern appeal, and so this one set the tone right with the paint. Orange and white is a terrific two-tone you see on plenty of vintage C10s, but this one does it in a whole new way. The modern orange metallic paint is so radiant that you'll likely need sunglasses any time you look directly at it during a car show (and we know you're going to be taking this one to plenty of events.) The white is sandwiched into the orange with a pinstripe bordering it to give it the crisp look of a button-down shirt. Not only does the white streak show off the straightness of the sheet metal as it runs the profile, but also makes the upgraded 20-inch steel wheels look like an even more integral part of the truck. Awesome chrome, crystal clear headlights, deleted trim, and color-matched liner paint in the bed are all part of a thoughtful style that comes on a thoughtfully finished and freely done restoration like this.

Just like the exterior, the interior likes to give you the right hints of classic truck style while also delivering the best upgrades. For example, the carpeting, door panels, dash, and bench seat look like you'd get on a vintage C10, but it all has the fresh feeling of a quality investment. This was built to be more comfortable, and that means cold-blowing air conditioning and an AM/FM stereo with USB and hands-free Bluetooth. The sports steering wheel is finished in gray to go with the upholstery, but it's a new sports unit mounted on a tilt column. It gives you a good view of the wraparound gauge panel that's now filled with upgraded backlit readouts.

While this one is a stunner inside and out, the best investment in this pickup is under the hood. There was a 6.2-liter LS3 motor installed. These made 420+ horsepower in the Camaro, and the consignor states there was only about 18k miles on the motor. It was added with such a show-worthy tidiness that this modern high horsepower fuel-injected V8 looks like it belonged here since day one. It's even been installed with the right pieces, like an aluminum radiator w/electric fan and BBK headers. As you look underneath, it's all so clean that you can see everything from the c-notched frame to the newer bushings. And it's built to be an all-around driver with power steering, power brakes, front discs, and the six-speed automatic transmission also borrowed from modern Chevrolets.

Fresh, bright, comfortable, stylish, and absolutely powerful - this is a great all-around restomod pickup. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind. Call now!
