Chevrolet was responsible for replacing farm horses' jobs by building factory pickups in 1918, which inspired competition from fellow auto brands. Fast forward to 1960, this American automaker introduced the Chevrolet C/K, a range of pickup trucks that saw four generations. By the third generation, they introduced the Scottsdale and Silverado trims of this rugged machine. What we are presenting here is a 1978 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed with a Bonanza trim package. This two-door regular cab has been preserved while a few additions of modern upgrades are lurking beneath the hood.
Among the trend of lifting pickup trucks for a menacing look and heaps of ground clearance, our subject, a 1978 Chevrolet C10 with its Bonanza trim package, which offered carpeting and other interior trim elements to stand out over the next base level C10. Gleaming with its two-tone Blue and White paint job, it sits on polished US Mag Wheels. Additionally, the chrome elements, including the front and rear bumpers, grille frame, side mirrors, tailgate panel, and the trim line running around the body appear to be in excellent condition. Inside the small interior of this 1978 Chevrolet C10, you can be cocooned in a newly upholstered white and blue leather surrounding. The bench seat features a classic design and effectively provides optimal space for passengers. This vintage appeal continues to the door panels as well, where wood and a detailed chrome trim adorn them. The wood trim appears on the dash in the shape of a gauge cluster. The three-spoke steering wheel by Grant is accompanied by a column shifter.
Propelling this 1978 Chevrolet C10 is a 5.7L V8 powerhouse, with the sight of a few additional power upgrades such as a custom Velocity throttle body and a BTR intake manifold, you know this motor means business. It’s married to a four-speed automatic transmission that sends this power to the rear wheels. This pickup employs an independent suspension system with front coil springs and rear leaf spring suspension to ensure a smooth authentic classic pickup truck ride.

Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks debuted for the 1959 model year, as the successor to the Task Force line-up. For the next four decades, four generations would be made, until 2002 when the C/K Series became the Silverado that we know today. Yup, the good old Silverado comes with a fair bit of history behind it. Today’s 1985 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a third generation example that’s been extensively resto-modded into a true head-turner. Yes, even a workmanlike truck can be made to be stunningly eye-catching and of course, deeply potent in the performance department. So join us as we take you on a whistle-stop tour of this Florida-based truck that is just a call or DM away from becoming yours if you please.
Chevrolet introduced the C/K Series in 1960, taking over from the Task Force line-up of pickup trucks. This was an important time, as American businesses were growing, and countless small and medium-scale entrepreneurs would need a capable, tough and dependable vehicle to carry their wares. Be it farm produce, construction supplies or furniture, for example, you can bet that it’s been carried in the back of a Chevy C/K truck at some point during that time. By 1966, Chevy showcased the second-generation C/K Series line-up, with many updates and improvements. Now, these trucks make for excellent classics, and to that end, we’ve got a 1971 Chevrolet C10 Short Bed for sale today. This Arkansas-based truck has reportedly undergone a frame-off restoration while in the custody of its previous owner, making it a great choice as a turn-key classic that you can enjoy from the moment you receive the keys.
When it comes to pickups, the good old Chevrolet C10 is an American workhorse that has mobilised thousands. And as with any workhorse, well-cared-for examples are few and far between, making the minters all that more valuable as time goes on. Our featured truck is a 1970 Chevrolet C10 pickup finished in a striking shade of orange. The owner reports that it has undergone an extensive restoration, with many new body and interior parts installed. It’s not just the cosmetics that have received a refresh either, as the owner reports that this 1970 C10 features a brand new motor under its hood — a 454ci V8 engine that reportedly has less than 1,000 miles on it! Located in St. Cloud, Minnesota, it’s a head-turning truck that’s just as ready for weekend cruising as it is for car shows.

Lucky for you, our subject car belongs to the second generation as well, and these are known to be reliable classic cars. It is currently located in Anderson, California, and ready to transport you back to the good old ‘60s.

Being selected as the Pace Car for the prestigious and historically significant Indy 500 is no small feat. Automakers vie for this honor, and Chevy’s Corvette has held the torch multiple times. The Corvette’s first outing as an Indy 500 Pace Car was in 1978, with the C3 generation. Then, the C4 performed pace car duties twice, in 1986 and 1995. The C5 did it twice as well, the C6 racked up a four-year streak from 2005 to 2008 and a fifth time in 2012, the C7 had four outings, and the current C8 has done it five times (discounting the electric E-Ray variant). Chevy has capitalized on these outing as well, creating limited-edition Pace Car variants for lucky customers to buy, own and drive. That’s why this particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is significant as it marks the start of the Corvette’s Indy 500 Pace Car journey. Only around 6,500 units were made, and this example from Pennsylvania bears just 75,249 miles so far. Snap it up, quick, because it’s a piece of history.

The iconic Willys Jeep is a reminder of what can happen when military vehicles are the basis of inspiration for something aimed at civilian use. When World War II ended, Willys-Overland knew that the demand for military Jeeps would die. Smartly, they realized that with some updates and adjustments, this battlefield stalwart could offer fantastic utility to aspiring Americans, particularly those engaged in agriculture. Hence, the CJ or Civilian Jeep line-up was born in 1944. It was made until 1986 across multiple iterations, each one with many updates and enhancements over the last. Today, we’ve got a 1958 Willys Jeep CJ-5 from Gulfport, Mississippi for sale. This timeless classic off-roader has received quite a few updates, making it a fine addition to any car collection.
The quirky Chevy El Camino raised quite a few eyebrows when the model made it to the market in 1959. From the front half, it was a coupe. Then, the rear half blended into a pickup truck with a full cargo bed on offer. The type was called the coupe utility. Most importantly, it didn’t have the typical body-on-frame stance of a pickup truck. For example, the passenger cabin and the truck bed flowed into each other like one smooth silhouette. That’s because the Chevy El Camino was based on car platforms. Initially, the Biscayne served as its basis, then the Chevelle and finally GM’s G-Body platform. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Chevrolet El Camino which hails from the fifth generation of this well-known nameplate. The fifth generation was, sadly, the last, terminating production in 1987, so this vehicle is quite a definitive classic to own and drive. Bearing a decent 115,638 miles, you can see that this Madisonville, Kentucky-based coupe utility has led an interesting life.
