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.

Pickup trucks have always been an icon of the American automotive scene. And while new imports have tried to wrestle their own slice of market share, back in the ’70s and ’80s, there were few other options than American iron. In Chevrolet’s corner, you had the C/K models. By 1984, the C/K was in its third generation, with several facelifts applied along the way. But no matter what shape or size, the Chevrolet C/K pickup has always held a special place in the hearts of many. On offer today is a recently restored example of a 1984 Chevrolet C10 Silverado Pickup looking for a new home.

The Chevrolet Corvette has always been an iconic sports car. While the fourth generation may have looked like an evolution of its predecessor, under the skin, things were completely redesigned. The C4 features a revised five-link suspension set up for the rear, which greatly improved handling. The fiberglass panels were upgraded to plastic, and the radiator was angled at 15 degrees so that police radar would have a harder time locking on to the front end. All in all, the C4 generation of Chevrolet Corvette marked a massive shift for the model — and it’s no wonder that interest and prices are on the rise. Our featured car is a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 43,000 miles on the clock. It could be the perfect companion for your next classic adventure.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.

While Ford had the legendary Bronco, General Motors was backing their own iconic horse in the full-size SUV category of the ‘70s. It fielded their ever-popular Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models. By 1975, the Jimmy was into its second generation. Known as the “Rounded Line” or “Square Body” generation, these models were available in both two and four-wheel drive and were closely related to the Chevrolet C/K trucks. The classic styling of this generation of Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmys is loved by fans of old-school offroaders. It's where good looks, functionality, and off-road prowess all converge at one intersection.
