When you want to look distinctively original without giving up creature comforts, it's time for this super nice 1987 Chevrolet Silverado. It combines classic truck styling with a loaded A/C interior, and plenty of fuel-injected V8 pickup capability all at a great price.The two-tone blue and gray paint perfectly represents this top-of-the-line Silverado model. The premium appearance is capped off by a set of Rally wheels. Yes, that's right, the feature you look for on the classic Chevy muscle cars also had their own spin as factory options on these cool pickups. This truck is nothing but straight lines, smooth panels, and horizontal trim, so it would be impossible to hide any imperfections in the body. Beautiful chrome bumpers, matching bed rails, and upscale Silverado trim all make this look far more substantial than its price tag would suggest. But a great appearance does not mean this pickup is still not ready to earn its keep as a truck. The overall presentation lets you know that this Silverado led a very easy life, but you can easily utilize it for Home Depot runs, or tow the toys. Open the tonneau cover to reveal the liner-protected bed, and you've got a trailer hitch so you can have the coolest ride at the boat ramp. The interior is just as premium and well preserved as the exterior. The blue cloth bench is comfortable and coordinates nicely with the outside paint. This Silverado was loaded with options when it left the dealer back in 1987, so it makes the perfect foundation for a great ride today. Power windows, power locks, tilt steering column, cruise control, the original AM/FM stereo, and a sliding rear window all make it a pleasure to drive. There's even air conditioning to keep you cool for the short and long hauls. If there still is any doubt that this led a life as a cherished pickup, even the original owner's manual comes with the sale.What makes the 1987 Chevy truck models so special is that it was the last year for the classic bodylines, but the first year you could get fuel injection. This gives the numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8 under the hood a real performance edge. In fact, if you think about it, with Rally wheels and a fuel-injected 350 V8, are we sure this is not some SS package? Actually as a desirable as this pickup might be for its performance characteristics, it's built more for the long haul. After all, with power steering, power brakes (disc up front), and a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, it's a fantastic cruising pickup.This is the truck that was built to work hard and play hard. It's loaded with options, and gets a lot more attention than a new pickup, but this Chevy costs thousands less. Call now!!
