There are many things that separate some vintage vehicles from others. Looks always count for a lot. Certain parts of the country can rust cars out, so buying one from a dry climate is preferable. Long-term ownership is usually a good sign of the care a vehicle received. Garage-kept? Even better. Of course, every ride from yesteryear needs new parts from time to time, so updated hardware is a huge plus. Our Pick of the Day checks all those boxes. You can find this 1962 Chevrolet C10 listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Anderson, California.
As a first-generation Chevy C/K truck, this ’62 C10 has a classically handsome design, which is made all the more noticeable by a yellow and white paint job that was applied within the past few years. That was laid over a rust-free body because, according to the selling dealer, this 65,517-mile truck has been in the gentle climate of California its entire life – 45 years of which was with the same female owner, who always parked it in her garage. In the last 10 years, she updated a lot of key parts:
- Battery: August 2025
- Brakes: May 2024
- Gas tank: 2015
- Venezia Classic 787 all-season whitewalls
No word on if the black vinyl upholstery is original, but either way, it’s in nice shape.
However, the 235ci inline-six is original and “runs smooth and strong,” delivering its power to the road through a four-speed manual gearbox.
On several levels, this 1962 Chevrolet C10 has a lot going for it. If you want it to go in your garage, be prepared to spend $21,995 to make that happen.
