1994 Chevrolet Silverado

Description

Chevy has been making pickup trucks since the '30s and when you make a gazillion of them, well that's no small amount of practice. Made to withstand all the punishment that a commercial vehicle needs to tolerate, this 1994 Chevrolet Silverado pickup appears to have led a very pampered existence. There may not be a nicer one, leading us to wonder if it's time for the Silverado to become a genuine collector vehicle. With a great look, V8 power, and remarkable originality, this low-mileage (6,052 actual miles to be exact) survivor deserves your full attention.

Black will always be the toughest finish to maintain but year in and out it is always one of the top color choices when you want to impress. Combined with the regular cab and stepside bed, the truck has a sporty demeanor and a great look. It remains in outstanding condition for being more than 20 years old, and the shiny paint has weathered the years far better than most GM products of the era, needing nothing more than a buff to really look great. There are no notable blemishes, no major road rash, just a few signs of use here and there, and it's obvious that someone really loved this truck. There was never a great deal of chrome fitted to these workhorses but what is there remains in good condition. Few trucks wear the stepside bed better than the C10, and I would happily trade the reduced capacity for the awesome look every time.

Slip inside and have a seat. Twin captain's chairs make this a first-class way to haul your gear and the gray cloth upholstery looks immaculately maintained. Because this is a Silverado it is optioned with several creature comforts, including air conditioning which still blows ice cold, plus an AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, power windows, locks, and seats, and a tilt wheel are all at your fingertips, further blurring the line between blue and white collar transportation. And we haven't forgotten that this is a truck with a half- ton load capacity and so power steering and power brakes make it all manageable. The dash pad isn't cracked, the carpets are protected by heavy-duty mats, and the center console offers plenty of storage for a few extra items along the way. Given the condition of the interior, we're thinking the mileage shown is pretty likely to be original.

Open the hood and inspect the nicely detailed engine bay. This Silverado is equipped with the 350 cubic inch V8 that has been fitted to everything from Camaros to, well, pickup trucks. There are plenty of aftermarket performance enhancements for those of you that like to modify your ride's performance, thanks to the longevity and the multi -model placement of this motor. Still, more than enough power available if you choose to leave the motor bone stock like this one, which looks like it just rolled out of the showroom. The 4-speed automatic transmission is also performing without complaint and there isn't a better transmission available to mate to the 350; after all, nobody really wants a manual transmission in their truck, do they? Have a look at the super clean undercarriage, where you'll find no secrets, thanks to a lifetime in a warm climate, and again, it offers more proof of this truck's remarkable low mileage promise. Chrome wheels add some flash to the black pickup, endowing it with a sporty demeanor, and it carries 235/75/15 Toyo radials all around, perhaps only the second set of tires this truck has ever worn.

Is this the nicest 1994 Silverado in the world? I wouldn't bet against it! Call today!
