The awesome patina look makes this 1976 Chevrolet C10 Restomod give the first impression of a workhorse. But with an upgraded leather interior and serious fuel-injected 5.3L V8 power under the hood, you can really see that this is has really been upgraded to deliver a total package pickup. The paint makes a very cool first impression. It looks like someone let a two-tone pickup slowly fade in the desert sun for decades. But it doesn't take long... for people to pick up on how no one has forgotten about this truck. The bumpers shine like mirrors, you've got upgraded headlights, the windows are clean/clear, and the full-length trim still does a great job of providing a complete dividing line for the two-tone. Even the way the doors close reaffirm this is a well-crafted Chevy. Plus, those 20-inch Ridler alloys give this an awesome stance that lets everyone know there are plenty of upgrades within. Inside is the right mix of originality and solid upgrades. That means you have more two-tone style with the dash and door panels metal areas finished in gray, and there are red plastic components that are complete and soft to the touch. There's even the classic wood-style paneling. But what we bet you really noticed was the seat. Not only does it coordinate with the interior package, but also you're going to love its combination of supple leather and comfy cloth insert. The dash of these C10s are terrific for surrounding the driver like a sports car, and you even have a nice AM/FM/CD stereo upgrade within easy reach. What makes this is true restomod is in the engine bay. You're going to lift the hood at car shows and watch as people marvel at the modern 5.3-liter Fuel injected V8 that's been neatly installed under the hood. Even the engine cover has been painted a satin red to match the exterior patina. And while they made this look like it belonged here since day one, they also went the right extra steps to make this upgrade feel at home in this classic, right down to the proper OBD-II input for easy diagnostics. The V8 fires up like a modern fuel-injected machine should. It inhales deeply with the Spectre air intake, and it exhales with authority out a newer stainless X-pipe dual exhaust. The power steering and three-speed automatic transmission makes for an easy-cruising pickup. Plus, the newer sway bar, power brakes w/discs up front, and modern Hankook performance tires delver a solid feeling of control. This is the well-done patina package that gives you cool classic with everyday appeal. Don't let this deal slip away, call today!
