Simple math suggests you could as well buy two brand-new Silverado 1500 pickups with plenty of options for the list price of this Chevy C10. If you are a simple math fan, however, chances are you will never afford a luxury restomod anyway.
A true connoisseur will know where to look right away: under the hood, of course. The elderly C10 comes powered by a Don Hardy LS3 V8 mill suited for racing at 621 PS (612 hp / 457 kW). A six-speed Tremec stick shift generally lets you hit 10-second-something quarter-mile times with this kind of power, so a workhorse it ain’t. Rack-and-pinion steering gear, coilover-based suspension and heavy-duty Baer brakes with six-piston calipers at the front make sure the power stays in check when needed.
There is also no missing the exclusive forged wheels measuring 19 inches front and 20 inches rear. The body of the car has a very clean and elegant look in white and black with rare chrome applications.
The cabin holds onto its original seats dating back to 1972, but the fine leather upholstery is new. So is the dashboard with the odometer gauge going as far as 200 mph (320 km/h) and the tachometer going to 10,000 RPM. Here’s your answer to what is worth $109,900 in a restored pickup like this one.
