Classic vintage pickup Chevy Roadster customer build
1971 Chevrolet C-10 Roadster Description
We bet this is the first time you've seen a roadster pickup besides the Model Ts. And while those are vintage runabouts, this 1971 Chevrolet C10 Roadster is a full custom modern build. You get an awesome color combo, powerful V8, and a full air ride suspension all in one head-turning package that's sure to leave an impression with everyone long after you drive away.
This truck is a cool mix of many worlds. After all, you have a fun open-top roadster, and yet there still is a practical full bed protected in liner paint under the tonneau cover. And while the matte yellow-green paint looks like it's ready for responsible military service, the air ride suspension lets you dial-in a low stance that looks like it's ready for speedy hijinks. And overall, you can tell there was a ton of time and thought that went into the build. That's why you have a well-coordinated glossy black against the matte green. It's not only on the bumpers, door handles, and trim, but also there are custom pieces that match. This includes the billet grille and stylishly solid 22-inch wheels. There's even a custom cover that goes over the windshield and seats for storage when you're not out having fun in this custom.
Because this one is meant to be open to the world, the exterior green and black return on the inside for a thoughtful total package. The seat is particularly nice with Alcantara inserts and sporty metal trim. The door panels have even been done to match. There's a classic style look to the dash, but there are also plenty of upgrades you instantly spot, too. There's an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth and a USB input to charge your phone. There are handy upgraded gauges, like the tach and pressure readouts for the air ride suspension. Plus, the wood rim really makes the sports steering wheel really stand out nicely.
The blackout look of the engine bay follows this custom truck's theme nicely. And it has sporty details on the motor, like the ribbed valve covers and big air grabber. More than just look cool, this is a powerful setup with Chevy's might 350 cubic-inch V8 rebuilt to be strong. It now includes performance upgrades like aluminum heads, an upgraded cam, aluminum radiator w/electric fans, Edelbrock intake, and an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. And long tube headers add even more power while contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust. This is a custom with power and poise, and so you're going to love cruising it everywhere. That's why it also comes with easy driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front.
It's hard not to imagine all the attention this cool custom truck will get no matter if you're at the car show or just a beach day. But the only way you get enjoy it all is if you call today!
