1970 Chevrolet C-10 Patina Restomod Additional Info:

The patina on the outside of this 1970 Chevrolet C10 may give it an old-school first impression. But the upgraded wheels, custom comfy A/C interior, stroker V8 power, and so much more prove that this total package is an awesome restomod.

This body has the ideal look of patina that you want in a truck. Like an awesome pair of jeans, nothing tells a story of a workhorse better than something that looks like it took decades to wear in correctly. There's just a solidness in the way that the panels look that gets this instant respect. But this one is also not going incognito about its upgrades. The bed cover has a flush-fitting look of quality. And those polished 20-inch Ridler wheels are like a beacon telling people to get a closer look at what's inside.

The interior looks like it's fresh from a restoration. The bench seat is a black leather with a cool green houndstooth cloth insert (it pays tribute to the Chevy heritage while also coordinating with the truck's colors.) The painted surfaces keep a hint of patina because that's what this truck is all about. But that also doesn't mean it skips out on the luxury features. That's why you have modern conveniences like an AM/FM/CD stereo w/Bluetooth, and the air conditioning is blowing ice-cold with modern R134a. Plus, the upgraded sports steering wheel, AutoMeter Sport-Comp auxiliary gauges, and column-mounted tach all signal you're going to love what's in the engine bay.

Under the hood is a clean and mean presentation. The black inner fenders match the black valve covers and air topper for a well-done look. But what you'll really love about this one is substance behind the style. It's a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. Not only do you get big block displacement in a small block weight, but also this has plenty of go-fast goodies. It includes aluminum heads, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers feeding the rumbling dual exhaust. The way this one fires up and runs reinforces the feeling of a quality build behind the patina look. It feels tight on the road, and even included Hotchkis sway bars front & rear. Plus, you have great driving features, like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front.

The cool look of patina meets the power and pose you love. That makes for an irresistible restomod package you need to get your hands on tight now.
