The seller offers for sale this 1970 Chevrolet C10, powered by a 4.9-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. This C10 is finished in GM Ochre, paint code 65, the warm golden-mustard shade that is correct for the 1970 model year, and the seller describes the car as retaining its original paint. It is accompanied by an unusually complete file of documentation tracing its history from new, including the original US delivery protocol dated July 1970, the original brochure, an accessory catalogue and the driver’s manual. The car was offered at the Mecum auction in Anaheim in 2016, was imported to Germany in 2017 where it passed a TUV inspection, and was subsequently registered in Switzerland in 2018 with a supporting appraisal. As a point of note, the radio is not currently functioning.
The 1967 to 1972 C/K series, known to enthusiasts as the “Action Line” generation, is widely considered one of the most attractive American pickups ever produced. The C10 designation denotes the half-ton, two-wheel-drive model, and its clean, low-set bodywork, simple grille treatments and well-proportioned cab gave it a timeless appeal that has made these trucks hugely popular with collectors and customisers alike. Original, well-documented and unmodified examples have become increasingly desirable.
With its torquey V8, easygoing manner and classic good looks, the C10 offers the kind of relaxed, characterful driving experience that defines the period American pickup. The chrome, trim, interior and controls present in good order, and the comprehensive paperwork and authentic colour make this a genuinely appealing example of an iconic Chevrolet.
