With a handsome two-tone appearance, comfy A/C interior, V8 power, and the right subtle upgrades, this restored 1969 Chevrolet C10 is like pure rolling nostalgia. Two-tone has always been a distinctive style on vintage pickups. On this bow tie, it emphasizes the C10's clean, straight lines and gives these former workhorses a feeling of sophistication. It also helps that the factory-correct saddle and white paintwork benefits from a modern clearcoat respray. This truck has been given a thoughtful... restoration that gives it some added panache. So there's a metallic element in that tan that really lets this vintage machine radiate in the sunshine. We love how the upper and lower body side accents separate the two colors. In fact, with the grille, Rally wheels, and bumpers shining so brightly, this is a vivid and well-coordinated total package. The coordination continues on the inside with the exterior metallic tan returning on the dash, door tops, and pillars. But what will really have your attention is a custom addition that's a true vintage Chevy tradition. Houndstooth cloth inserts on the seats offer nice comfort, and you know there will be plenty of nods of approval anytime an enthusiast looks inside this C10. It gives this truck a premium feeling, and that's continued with great features like cold-blowing air conditioning. While you'll love this for the comfort, you'll also love this truck for its vintage atmosphere. This has the western print in the door panels, factory dual spoke steering wheel, and full gauge package (including tach.) There's even a correct AM radio is still on display! Chevy's powerful and versatile 350 cubic-inch V8 looks great in this engine bay. The restoration budget was about getting this looking factory-correct, so you have the bright orange block and plenty of detail like the factory decals. This has the right ideals of originality â€" right down to the era-correct block â€" there's also been a subtle upgrade to a performance four-barrel carburetor. That means a great classic look, and the kind of power you love out of a small block. This is mated to a sturdy TH400 three-speed automatic that feeds the 12-bolt rear end. The C10s are really sought-after because of the trailing arm rear suspension, which helps makes these Chevys ride much smoother than most other vintage pickups. Plus, it has the convenience of power steering, power brakes, and modern Michelin rubber at all four corners. As you look at the undercarriage photos, the freshness of details like the bushings let you know this one feels better on the road than most other vintage machines out there. A great-looking vintage pickup with plenty of power and all the right comforts. I's a turn-key package that's ready to run right now. So don't miss you chance, call today!
