Description of 1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pro Street |
This is a true Purple People Eater. That's because this 1963 Chevrolet C10 Pro Street pickup has the big block muscle to consume just about every other vehicle out there. The full custom treatment takes this honest, blue-collar pickup to an entirely new level, but it never betrays its workman price. There's no way anyone will mistake this fleetside Chevy pickup for a contractor's ride. The huge air grabber in the hood draws as much attention as the mirror-like shine of the front bumper and grille. And speaking of shine, you really need to check out the bed. Of course, what's really striking is the paint. The builder of the vehicle was a painter, and so the Purple Pearl went in with a careful and professional hand. It has the kind of deep luster that can draw attention day or night. This full shining package also extends to the alloy wheels. The reason for this is to draw added attention to how massively tubbed the rear end is. So as bright as everything is, this one doesn't try to hide its nature or make any apologies for being the instigator. While the exterior is all about showing off power, the interior adds some comfort into the mix, too. You get a well-done package where there's a two-tone tweed on the bucket seats that's also on the custom door panels. There are nice comfort upgrades such as AM/FM/CD stereo, center console, and provisions for power windows. This keeps you feeling good while you get down to speedy business. There's a Grant sports steering wheel, full AutoMeter gauge package, and a B&M shifter all to give you a tingle of performance. And the huge AutoMeter Sport-Comp tach w/shift light is mounted high on the dash so it's always easy to see. The motor may be a monster, but it's also ready for show time. The smooth inner walls are color-matched to the car, and it funnels your attention to the tidy big block setup. This 454 cubic-inch V8 has been enhanced and fortified with TRW forged pistons, closed chamber oval port heads, Comp Cam 292/560 camshaft, Pete Jackson gear drive, Weiand Team G intake, and topped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. Ceramic-coated long tube headers add more power while contributing to the wicked rumble of the dual exhaust. The big V8 feeds a stout TH350 three-speed on its way to a strong Ford 9-inch rear with limited slip and 4.57 gears for confident take-offs. Keeping those massive Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires planted to the ground is a four-link rear with stabilizer link and coliovers. Plus, stopping is well in-hand with four-wheel power disc brakes. The sale comes complete with build receipts and the owner's manual. Be the envy of every muscle car out there with an affordable and stout pro street truck. Call today!!! |
