1965 Chevrolet C10 Long Bed Pickup W/ Camper Shell

Vintage 1965 C‑10 Pickup – Strong Restoration or Preservation Candidate
This 1965 Chevrolet C‑10 Long Bed Pickup is a true survivor with remarkable long‑term ownership history.
The truck was originally purchased new in 1965, then acquired by its second owner in 1968, remaining in that family until present ownership. It has not been driven regularly for approximately 36 years, making it a rare find for collectors seeking originality and history.
The truck shows 43,128 miles (TMU) and is powered by the factory 230ci inline‑six paired with a manual transmission. The listing notes the engine was recently checked by a mechanic and is not seized, though the truck will require recommissioning due to long‑term storage. A vintage period‑correct camper shell is included, adding character and collector value.
This C‑10 offers an excellent opportunity for restoration, preservation, or period‑correct build. Vehicles with this level of originality and documentation are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
