Rare and beautifully detailed one-of-a-kind custom 1972 Chevrolet C-10 pickup powered by a 5.7L Chevrolet Corvette LS-1. This pickup took almost 8 years to build and all of the work, except for the upholstery and paint was performed by the owner who is a 45 + year bodywork veteran.
NO TRADES
PLEASE NOTE….ALL BIDS AND OFFERS MADE ON ANY VEHICLE(S) WILL FOLLOW EBAY’S PROTOCOL OF PURCHASING. THIS MEANS THAT ONCE THE BID OR OFFER IS MADE OR ACCEPTED THE BUYER AGREES TO PURCHASE THE CAR IN “AS IS” CONDITION.
The build was completed in 2010 and has only been driven a little over 700 miles to shows and events. It is loaded with all the “creature comforts” such as Vintage Air A/C & heat, 4-wheel power disc brakes, a Monster built 4L60 overdrive automatic transmission, and power rack & pinion steering. There are many unique features and qualities to this C-10, such as remote power hood, tailgate, and bed cover (with override on dash). The windows are power operated too, including the rear window of the cab.
The only notations are the driver’s side window is cracked (accidentally shut too hard), A/C needs to be charged with R134, and the struts which hold open the storage bed no longer hold it up.
Listed below are the specifications and modifications. This pickup can be driven almost anywhere and shows very little wear.
