Description for Chevrolet C-10 1962

Muscle Car Garage:

We are a private collection of 60's and 70's muscle cars. We also do restorations in our two locations in the Jacksonville and Orlando area. From time to time we decide to offer one of our collector cars up for sale. Our vehicles are usually full "nut and bolt" restorations and are the quality of a regional or local show car winner. Many of our cars are previous trophy winners. We are not dealers just car enthusiasts who have been collecting cars for years and performing restorations to the level of regional show car quality. We are not a concourse restorer, and many of our cars are trailered to events but most vehicles can be driven if you choose to do so.

Engine is bone dry with no oil, gas, or water leaks. Truck is very reliable and can be driven regulary.

It is very unique and you just don't see many early 60'sC10 shortbeds running around or showing up at cruise in nights these days.
