Restored Houndstooth V8 Auto 700R4 Classic Vintage Collector Restored Orange Upg

1971 Chevrolet C-10 Additional Info:

With vivid paint, a cool interior, overdrive transmission, upgraded V8 power, and plenty of recent investments, this 1971 Chevrolet C10 offers awesome all-around distinction.

The red paint is part of an investment within the last year. So there's plenty of gloss coming off this truck, especially in the sunshine. The consignor also states the investment included new glass and the glossy oak bed for plenty of quality details. The truck forgoes brightwork in places like the grille surround and badging. It gives this truck a sleek and modern look, especially on the smooth tailgate. It also draws your eye to the shine in the other places like the bumpers, headlight bezels, and billet grille. And of course, there's plenty of shine coming off those modern Ridler alloys. And with their staggered stance at 20/22 inches front/rear, and on a lowered suspension, this adds to the truck's intimation factor, too.

Inside is a nice mix of vintage and new. You see it best on the seat that has the classic Chevy Houndstooth cloth inserts, but this is a newer addition to give the truck a fresh feeling. The door panels, carpeting, and dash pad are also all fresher investments done in coordinating shade of brown/tan. Plus, there are some absolutely modern upgrades that are quite worthwhile, like the AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input for your phone. There's a sporty wood-rimmed steering wheel, and beyond that is are crisp Equus gauges with large speedo and tach.

There's a nice shine radiating from under the hood with the intake, finned aluminum valve covers, air cleaner, alternator, master cylinder and more quite nicely polished. And there are plenty of great details like the bold red detailing on the motor, smooth inner fenders, and the color-matched cover over the aluminum radiator. More than just look nice, this is a hardy 350 cubic-inch V8 that has been enhanced with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, HEI ignition, and headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. This nice V8 feeds a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission, which combines a stout construction and easy overdrive cruising. Finish it off with a power steering and power brakes w/discs up front, and it's a package that is easy to cruise anytime/anywhere.

This is a bold package that makes for an outstanding classic pickup. Don't miss this deal, call today!!!
