A heavily modified 1967 Chevrolet C10 producing up to 1,200 horsepower has been listed for sale at $56,999, offering modern performance in a classic pickup package. The short-bed restomod, offered by Gear Head Classics, shows fewer than 6,000 miles on its freshly built drivetrain and combines vintage styling with significant mechanical upgrades.
Originally, the 1967 C10 left the factory with engines topping out around 220 horsepower. That original powertrain has been replaced with a 416 cubic-inch, 6.8-liter LS3 V8, an engine also found in the C6 Corvette. The upgraded engine is fitted with twin turbochargers and built with forged internal components, allowing it to support output levels up to 1,200 horsepower. Supporting modifications include upgraded cooling and fueling systems designed to handle the increased power.
Power is routed through a built 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission equipped with a high-stall torque converter. The truck also features a fortified rear end with performance gearing and heavy-duty axles. According to the listing, the build transforms the former work-oriented pickup into a street-legal, high-performance machine capable of handling substantial output.
The exterior retains classic C10 lines but incorporates modern touches. The truck is finished in black paint and rides on large five-spoke chrome wheels with matching accents. LED lighting has been added, and the stance is lowered. Underneath, the chassis includes an upgraded suspension system, rear C-notch, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. Additional features include a 3-inch stainless steel exhaust system, a 17-gallon fuel tank, refreshed bed liner, and a concealed fuel filler positioned behind the rear marker light.
Inside, the cabin has been redone in a red custom interior with modern digital gauges and updated wiring to support enhanced electronics. A vintage-style radio with Bluetooth capability is installed, along with a hidden subwoofer and amplifier beneath the bench seat.
With its combination of extensive performance modifications and updated styling, the restomod C10 is positioned in the market at a price point below that of many new full-size pickups. The vehicle remains listed for sale at the stated asking price.
