1982 Chevrolet C-10 454 Additional Info:

A well-chosen and tasteful array of custom exterior touches combines with an outstanding interior and rumbling big block power to make this 1982 Chevrolet C10 454 not only a first-degree head turner, but also an absolute blast to drive. It's only logged a limited number of miles since receiving its expansive powerplant and would be equally at home making an impact on the boulevard or on the local car show circuit. The modifications this classic Chevy... wears are visually powerful yet subtle at the same time and afford it with outstanding curb appeal. There's no needless flash or gaudiness anywhere to be found, just a well-planned and meticulously configured appearance that will readily stand out in any automotive crowd. The slightly lowered stance is noticeable right off the bat and pairs with sizable wheel wells both fore and aft to leave plenty of wheel clearance for everyday driving conditions. Up front, the added billet grille looms over a new front bumper and a largely badge-free exterior allows its vibrant red paint to be shown off to full effect. This is an inspired pairing of factory configuration with just a touch of customization - in back, the chrome accent across the liftgate is a signature feature of the Chevy trucks from this era and in this setting it looms over a roll pan and is bracketed by clear tail lights for a very distinctive look. A pair of contoured custom leather bucket seats are at the center of a comfortable and inspired leather interior. They loom over an expanse of carpet that's in clean condition while bracketing a wide center console that blends in perfectly and offers a pair of cupholders that come in handy during frequent driving. A well-padded Grant GT steering wheel now takes its place on the column and the dash area beyond it wears a striking two tone red and black color scheme and features a collection of original gauges in its instrument cluster that are joined with a trio of aftermarket displays to keep tabs on operating temperature, voltage and oil pressure. A newly added Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo is positioned at the center to fill the cabin with sound via a pair of speakers seamlessly mounted in the door panels - and a simple Freon charge should be all that's needed to get this C10's factory air conditioning back up to speed. The rear bed area has been coated with protective spray in bedliner. In addition to its outstanding visual presence, this C10 is a rock-solid driver with seemingly boundless power. An imposing big block - all 454 cubic inches of it - propels this classic pickup with enthusiasm and looks sharply dressed in its black, open element air cleaner and aftermarket pulley system. The engine has logged a scant 1500 miles since its installation and has been armed with both an Edelbrock intake manifold and Holley 4-barrel carb to take full advantage of its substantial displacement. The powerplant exhales into a pair of long tube headers that minimize back pressure while sending a nice, deep note out of its dual exhaust. The featured 4-speed 700r4 transmission brings good highway manners as it drops the revs down for better mileage and longer engine life. A set of eye-catching 20" Foose chrome wheels wrapped with low profile tires add just the right finishing touch. This 1982 Chevrolet C10 454 offers a tasteful blend of customized curb appeal and upgraded big block power to make for one very fine ride. Call today!
