Overview of 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado For Sale by Owner

This 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado offers classic square-body styling finished in a distinctive metal flake copper exterior. As a Silverado-trim truck, it combines vintage charm with simple, durable engineering. The seller states that the truck was restored in 2001, and it currently shows over 68,000 miles. Powered by a 350ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission, it delivers an easygoing, traditional American pickup driving experience suitable for weekend use, local shows, or relaxed cruising.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior features the iconic square-body design highlighted by the metal flake copper paint, which pairs well with the truck’s boxy 1970s lines. Chrome bed rails, chrome and body-color wheels, and clean trim contribute to its classic appearance. Some paint flaking is visible on the front edge of the hood, but the overall finish remains presentable for a driver-quality example. Inside, the brown interior includes a front bench seat and what appears to be a period-correct functional stereo, maintaining the authentic vintage cabin feel.

Engine

Under the hood is a 350ci V8 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor. The seller notes that the engine was rebuilt with new gaskets and seals. Instead of the previously listed manual setup, this example is equipped with an automatic transmission, offering smooth and straightforward operation. Rear-wheel drive keeps the truck aligned with its classic pickup heritage. The mechanical package is simple, robust, and consistent with late-1970s GM truck engineering.

Current Ask
$57,000

This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

Current Ask
$55,000

With just 1,025 miles showing, this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an extraordinary low-mileage example of one of the most important American performance cars of its era. The first-year ZR-1 paired the C4 Corvette’s unmistakable shape with the sophisticated 5.7-liter LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, a ZF 6-speed manual transmission, and unique wide-body hardware developed to handle its increased performance. Finished in Black over a Black leather interior, this example retains hallmark ZR-1 equipment including the dual-mode engine power system with its Full-Power key, Selective Ride Control, staggered 17-inch directional aluminum wheels, and removable targa roof panel. The approximately 1,025 miles displayed are the defining feature here, making this a particularly compelling example for the collector or enthusiast seeking a first-year ZR-1 with remarkably limited indicated use.
