This Slammed Down Chevrolet C10 Restomod Has A Big-Block V8

<!––>

A 1967 Chevrolet C10 restomod is being auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson at its fall auction running from October 22-24.

The C10 is one of the country’s most iconic and recognizable pickups and this particular example has been comprehensively modified.

Slotted under the hood is a custom 408 cubic-inch (6.7-liter) big-block V8 with fuel injection. No horsepower and torque figures have been provided, but we know the engine is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. Taking into account the lack of traction control and the very little mass over the rear axle, we’re sure this custom Chevy loves spinning up its rear tires and getting sideways if you floor the right pedal.

Not only does the truck feature a new powertrain, but the interior has been refreshed and restored with black and white leather. The cabin also houses a JBL sound system, while the bed now features a bespoke tonneau cover. Once removed, the cover reveals a carpeted bed with speakers, struts and leather accents.

According to the listing, the truck’s chassis has been custom built and there are new torsion sway bars front and rear, a rack & pinion steering and a sectioned hood with custom braces. Other modifications include smoothed doors with remote-operated latches, wing mirrors from a 1966 Chevelle, and an air ride suspension.

Watch A 2020 C8 Corvette Prove It’s A 10-Second Car On The Street

While the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray may not have world-beating horsepower and torque numbers, it is capable of some serious acceleration, as this video proves.

The C8 Corvette featured in this video is owned by YouTuber Sped Phenom and is totally stock. He has previously taken the car out to the track on a handful of occasions and recently headed to a drag strip with the ‘Vette for the very first time.

While a prepped drag strip surface is generally the best way to discover a car’s straight-line performance, Speed Phenom had a lot of difficulties getting off the line without heaps of wheel spin. Not satisfied with 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) times in the 4-second range, he headed out onto the street to see what his ‘Vette is capable of.

Surprisingly, the C8 suffered none of the same traction issues on the street. It delivered some utterly amazing performance numbers, recording a best 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds and repeatedly recording 2.7 second sprints in subsequent runs. The YouTuber then set a best quarter-mile time of 10.95 seconds on the street.

It’s worth pointing out that all of these times were based on what the car’s onboard Performance Data Recorder (PDR) was displaying. While the PDR has a dedicated GPS receiver, there are concerns among some in the YouTube comments that it may be a little optimistic. However, even if the PDR is a little inaccurate, previous independent tests of the C8 Corvette have shown it can indeed hit 60 mph in 2.7 seconds as verified by independent monitoring systems.
