Hold onto your hats, hot rod enthusiasts! Velocity, the industry titan in classic vehicle modernization, has just unleashed its latest masterpiece: a reimagined 1967-72 Chevy C10 that’s set to turn the streets into your personal racetrack. This beauty combines vintage charm with cutting-edge technology, delivering a turnkey driver that takes Velocity’s legacy of revamping classics to an entirely new level.
At the heart of this beast lies a brand-new GM LT1 V8, roaring with 460 horsepower and perfectly paired with a GM 10L80 10-speed automatic transmission. The under-hood action stays cool and efficient thanks to a Holley serpentine system, while a custom-built exhaust featuring Magnaflow mufflers ensures that this C10 sings a tune of pure power. Add in an independent front suspension, a Ford 9-inch rear axle with a 3.73 gear ratio, and 245/50R18 Michelin Pilot Sport tires hugging 18-inch Forgeline wheels, and you've got a truck that's ready to dominate the road.
Stopping power? No problem. The Velocity C10 packs Baer six-piston brakes with 14-inch rotors, guaranteeing you can harness all that power with ease. The ride quality is second to none, thanks to the Roadster Shop C10 SPEC Series chassis and Fox coilovers on all four corners, ensuring a blend of comfort and performance that’s hard to beat.
Velocity's design team has outdone themselves by maintaining the original look of the truck while infusing it with modern flair. The Street Series C10 comes in stunning single or two-toned BASF Glasurit paint options, adorned with vintage-inspired beltline trim and custom-machined billet exterior components for the door handles, side mirrors, and tailgate handle. You’ve got choices galore, with three trim options ranging from lower beltline to lower two-tone with trim, and center two-tone with black molding and trim. JW Speaker LED headlights, LED taillights, and side markers illuminate your path, while chrome bumpers, brand-new glass, and weather seals make this truck look as fresh as the day it rolled off the assembly line.
Step inside, and Velocity’s signature interior greets you with a blend of classic and modern touches. The bench seat remains, but it’s been elevated with premium leather and three-point seatbelts. A Velocity-exclusive Dakota Digital gauge cluster, power windows, and color-matched carpeted interior keep things current. The tunes flow through a Bluetooth and CarPlay-enabled Alpine double-din head unit, pumping through a Focal premium speaker system and a backup camera for added safety. Keeping your cabin climate perfect is a Vintage Air system, while the leather-wrapped Sparc steering wheel mounted on an Ididit tilt column offers adjustability and ease. The Street Series billet treatment extends inside with machined door handles, window cranks, and dash knobs. For those who crave more luxury, optional heated and ventilated seats and an upgraded woven leather interior package are available.
Velocity’s CEO Stuart Wilson couldn’t be prouder. “Our Chevy C10 is an homage to the classic street truck,” Wilson said. “We have worked remarkably hard to do its legacy justice. American street trucks have so much history and culture behind them, and we’re excited to bring this classic performance-focused C10 to the world.”
Priced at $319,900, the Velocity Chevy C10 stands as a testament to Velocity's commitment to excellence, joining the ranks of their K5 Blazer, Bronco, F-250, F-100, and Mustang lines. Built entirely in-house with a stunning 14-week production timeline, this C10 is ready to hit the streets. Reservations are now open, with the first round of deliveries set for fall 2024.
