Debuting in 1960, the Chevrolet C/K series of pickup trucks would run for 42 years and four generations before being succeeded by the Silverado. Chevy used the C-moniker to denote two-wheel drive trucks, while K meant that you got four-wheel drive from the factory. Thus, this 1971 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed is a two-wheel drive second-generation example. But that's not all; it's also a restomod. Having undergone a frame-off restoration that was concluded in 2020, it's got some lovely modern touches, plus a new drivetrain. With less than 8,000 miles etched into the odometer since its rebirth, this vintage charm is ready for it's next fortunate owner residing in Arkansas.
Exterior and Interior
Sporting a set of 20-inch Billet Specialty wheels, this 1971 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed is a stunner in its Tuxedo Black coat exterior paint. We're told that the entire truck body was stripped and sand blasted. Then, new bed panels and a new bed floor were added, as well as new front panels. Finally, the whole thing was painted in Tuxedo Black. Meanwhile, the undercarriage was also cleaned and painted in Satin Black. That should tell you the meticulous nature of the restoration, as many other restorers neglect the undercarriage. Step aboard, and you're treated to a retro-modern cabin, sporting two low-back seats in black and white, with a center console separating them. Of course, this center console offers cup holders and storage. Shifting your attention to the custom billet dashboard, you'll find a full suite of white-faced retro-style gauges from Omega Kustom Instrument Company. The steering wheel is a Forever Sharp 3-spoke unit. Then, we've got a Retrosound head unit, plus a Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system. Finally, we're told that the floors have been Raptor-lined.
Engine
This 1971 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed has received a new engine as part of its restoration. The engine bay now hosts a GM 350ci small-block V8 with less than 9,000 miles, we're told. This is paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission to drive the rear wheels. The engine also enjoys Holley Sniper fuel injection for added reliability and better cold-starting abilities. Meanwhile, power steering has been added to make driving easier, along with new Wilwood disc brakes and a Wilwood compact master cylinder for enhanced stopping power.
This 1964 Chevrolet C10 Restomod has the look of a proper custom street truck and the hardware to make good on it. Showing just 475 miles, it packs a 6.2L LS3 V8, electronic fuel injection, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic, and a Ford 9-inch rear end into one seriously reworked classic Chevy platform. A custom frame, aftermarket suspension setup, and 4-wheel disc brakes give the truck a far more modern foundation underneath, while the black paint and copper-finished wheels bring the kind of stance and attitude that make a build like this hard to ignore. It is the sort of C10 that appeals as much to the person who wants to inspect every detail at a show as it does to someone who simply wants to fire up an LS-powered classic and enjoy the drive.
This 1966 Chevrolet C10 combines the clean, squared-off look of Chevrolet’s first-generation C/K pickups with a straightforward small-block V8 restomod treatment. Showing approximately 70,291 miles, it is finished in a striking Orange and Gray two-tone exterior over a Black interior. Under the hood sits a 350ci V8 equipped with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake manifold, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Aftermarket headers, wheels, steering wheel, gauges, and audio equipment add to the truck’s customized character, while the wood bed floor with metal strips keeps a classic pickup-truck element intact.
This 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado brings together classic square-body styling with a selection of upgrades that give it a more personalized street-truck character. Showing approximately 70,132 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and 3-speed automatic transmission. Finished in a custom Black and Silver two-tone exterior over a Gray interior, it also features power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, aftermarket wheels, an aftermarket suspension setup, and a center console with cupholders. The result is a distinctly American pickup that keeps the straightforward appeal of the original C10 while adding a cleaner, lower, more customized presentation.
The 1969 Chevrolet El Camino brought muscle car performance and pickup versatility together, sharing much of its styling and engineering with the legendary Chevelle. Its distinctive design has made it a favorite among enthusiasts, particularly when equipped with big-block V8 power. This 1969 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod takes that formula further with a performance-enhanced 496ci big-block V8 paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Red with Black racing stripes over a custom Black leather interior, this example shows 46,336 miles on the odometer. Highlights include a Ford 9-inch rear axle, line-lock system, power front disc brakes, 15-inch Cragar S/S wheels, and an aftermarket exhaust with cutouts. With its aggressive styling, substantial V8 displacement, and upgraded drivetrain, this El Camino delivers the character of classic American muscle with additional performance and cruising capabilities.
The 1967 Chevrolet Camaro marked the beginning of one of America's most celebrated muscle car nameplates, introducing Chevrolet's answer to the Ford Mustang with aggressive styling and a performance-oriented platform. This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Restomod combines that iconic first-generation design with upgraded big-block power and modern driving conveniences. Finished in Red over a Black and Red vinyl interior, this example shows 15,753 miles on the odometer. Under the hood sits a 402ci Chevrolet big-block V8 equipped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, paired with a TH700-R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a GM 12-bolt rear axle. Additional highlights include four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, power windows, air conditioning, and a Black convertible soft top. With its SS badging, classic Rally wheels, and upgraded mechanical configuration, this Camaro offers an appealing combination of vintage muscle car character and enhanced everyday drivability.
The Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 earned its legendary “King of the Hill” nickname by pushing American sports car performance into territory traditionally dominated by European exotics. Developed with engineering assistance from Lotus, the C4 ZR-1 introduced an extraordinary 32-valve V8 and a collection of performance enhancements that set it apart from the standard Corvette. With only 502 ZR-1 examples produced for the 1992 model year, this Corvette represents an especially exclusive chapter in the model's history. Finished in Torch Red over a Red interior, this 1992 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 shows 46,612 miles on the odometer. Power comes from the renowned 5.7L LT5 V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and a 3.45 limited-slip rear differential. Additional highlights include FX3 Selective Ride & Handling Suspension, 17-inch Sawblade wheels, and two removable roof panels, including a tinted glass panel and a body-colored panel. Combining limited production, advanced engineering, and unmistakable C4 styling, this ZR-1 is a compelling example of one of Chevrolet's most significant performance cars.
