For decades, the Silverado has been one of Chevrolet’s most popular nameplates. Nowadays, they come with a ton of technology like GM’s Super Cruise and could set you back up to $70,000 or maybe even more. These 3rd generation C/K Series Silverados, on the other hand, are of a very different category; they were built with simplicity and rugged performance in mind. Even though this generation first went into production in 1973, the Silverado trim was added as part of the changes that came in 1975. The next major changes came in 1977, with new larger-segment grilles, revised interiors and new options (like power shutters and power door locks). 1978 brought a fuel-filler door (rather than the exposed cap) and brushed aluminum dash trim on the Silverado (to replace the woodgrain trim).
At first glance, it’s easy to see why they were nicknamed the “square body” trucks. The design is very 1970s, very square and sharp edged. Ironically, GM called them the “rounded line” series, and contrary to what many may assume, aerodynamics were carefully considered in this design to optimize fuel economy. This example has a metal flake copper exterior which suits the design very well, and a brown interior with a front bench seat (a classic 70s combination). It reportedly has a functional stereo (which looks original, or at least period-correct). On the exterior, it has chrome rails around the bed and chrome + body-colored wheels. The paintwork on the front of the hood does seem to have flaked off in a few places but overall, it appears to be in good shape.
The seller states that the vehicle was restored in 2001 and has 67,000 miles on it (though it is unconfirmed if this is since new or since the restoration). The engine has been rebuilt with new gaskets and seals. Among the engine options at the time was a 350ci small block Chevy V8 making 160-175hp, and this vehicle has a 350ci V8 with a 4-speed manual transmission (though it must be noted that no claim has been made regarding whether the drivetrain has been replaced during its lifetime).

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.
The Corvette C3 is one of the most attractive cars in the model's eight-generation history. No wonder that so many astronauts were willing to be seen in one of these. During the third generation of the Corvette, they introduced an edition for those who understand that performance is more than just speed; it's about presence, precision, and power. This is none other than the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. Corvette likes to describe it as “limited production with unlimited passion.” The example we are showing here bears 18,800 miles on its odometer and is currently located in Laurel, Maryland.
The Chevy Silverado is one of the most well-known full-size pickup trucks around. Derived from Chevy’s venerable C/K Series, the Silverado is now in its fourth generation. It’s got a stablemate too, called the GMC Sierra. Today, we have a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 for sale from Brasher Falls, New York. Thanks to its Z71 Off-Road Package and Protection Package, this truck enjoys some enhancements that make it great for adventuring around in. It’s got a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 7,100 pounds, and has covered just over 6,000 miles at the time of writing. So if you want a capable truck that can go off-road with your family in supreme comfort, here’s a candidate to consider. Its also got the LT Convenience Package and the LTZ Plus Package.
The fifth generation or C5 Corvette stands out as the last one of the previous century, as well as the last pop-up headlamp example in the Corvette’s storied history. Debuting for the 1997 model year, it was a complete change from the venerable C4, featuring a new hydroformed box frame with more rigidity, a rear transaxle that included the transmission for better weight distribution, and of course, a new interior. Today’s C5s are fondly looked upon as one of the marque’s watershed moments before 2000. If you’re a C5 fan because let’s face it, many people are, we’ve got a 55,000-mile 2000 Chevrolet Corvette from Lowell for sale. This car comes with two keys, the spare tire plus jack kit, and a tasty aftermarket exhaust.
Behold, the world’s first-ever mass-production civilian four-wheel drive car: the Willys Jeep. Derived from the military vehicle that served extensively in World War II, the Willys CJ “Civilian Jeep” was a modified, road-legal version of the battlefield hero. Aimed at the farming and industrial community, many mechanical modifications over the military version were with the goal of making it more durable and reliable. As the war was winding up, Jeep started working on the CJ, with 2 main prototype models being tested (CJ-1 and CJ-2). The CJ-2A was the first production model, which arrived in mid-1945, initially used up the last of the war-time parts stock. Once this was over, many parts such as the rear axle were changed (in this case to a stronger option). In total, over 214,000 CJ-2As were built between 1945 and 1949.
Offroading with a classic is an experience that is unmatched. Take that classic and modernize some features and you have yourself a whole lot of fun. Present today is the main ingredient to unlock all that and takes shape with this lovely 1975 Ford Bronco. This open top off roading classic is the perfect weapon to explore the great outdoors.
Street cred in the automotive scene is often measured by one's contribution to their purpose, looking back at Land Rover and its offerings and it's clear that they sure have banked on street cred for generations. Present today is one of those machines that set the way for its later generations and takes shape with this lovely 1964 Land Rover Series IIA.
