V8 Auto Classic Vintage Collector A/C Restored Red Truck Short Black Edelbrock
1964 Chevrolet C-10 Description
While the sleek red paint first attracted to this 1964 Chevrolet C10, dig a little deeper. Because you're going to discover a frame-off restoration that created a full custom build with a modern/comfy A/C interior, overdrive transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, and a serious upgrade in V8 power.
The truck makes a terrific first impression, and that starts with the paint. The red has the extra depth of burgundy for added sophistication, and there's plenty of metallic element to radiate in the sunshine. And the reason why a bold modern color looks so good on this pickup is because it has some timeless curves. The designers built a tapered mid-section for a signature look that hugs the hood line, wraps around the doors, and continues down the bed. Speaking of the bed, it's a true marvel on its own with bright hickory boards that have a high-gloss finish of six coats of clear on top! The body panels are straight, the glass looks awesome, and the chrome front bumper and grille give this a 10,000-watt smile. But as great a classic as this one appears, you also probably picked up on the wide tubs in the bed for the meaty rear tires. It signals there's performance in this beauty, too.
Inside is more burgundy and black in a very comfortable total package. It starts with the upgraded bucket seats finished in a supple leather. These are Chevy units, but borrowed from a much younger pickup. So you get excellent bolstering, three-point belts, individual armrest, and they even power adjust. There is air conditioning to keep you ice cold, a cup holder center console, and the stereo has been upgraded to an AM/FM/CD/DVD touchscreen unit that features Bluetooth and a backup camera. More than just comfortable, this is a driver-oriented package with a Budnik sports steering wheel on a tilt column, a B&M floor shifter, and crisp AutoMeter gauges with a large speedo and tach.
The engine bay reveals a tidy setup with nice detailing, like the clean inner-walls and the ribbed valve covers with matching air topper. But what you'll really love is that this is a 400 cubic-inch V8 that delivers big block displacement in a small block weight/size. Plus, it has been upgraded with the right comports, like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake, an electronic Davis Untied Ignition, and long tube headers that feed the rumbling Dynomax dual exhaust. While this is a powerful package, it was built to truly enjoy. The V8 runs great, and the upgrade to the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission gives you highway-friendly overdrive. Plus, there's a new power steering unit, the C10's desirable trailing arm rear suspension, and upgraded four-wheel power disc brakes with CPP master cylinder.
This is a quality full restoration that delivers a powerful, comfortable, and head-turning pickup of a powerful vintage pickup. So if you love the best of everything, call today!
