1985 GMC C1500
- 5.3L Fuel Injected V8
- Automatic Transmission
- Red Exterior
- Black Interior
- Hurst Shifter
This 1985 GMC C1500 blends classic square-body styling with modern performance upgrades, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want vintage looks with improved drivability. Finished in red over a black interior, this truck has a timeless appearance that highlights the clean, boxy lines that made mid-80s GM pickups so popular. It?s the kind of truck that looks just as good cruising Main Street as it does parked at a local car show.
Under the hood, the original powertrain has been upgraded with a 5.3 L fuel-injected V8, delivering significantly more power, reliability, and efficiency than the factory setup. Paired with an automatic transmission, this combination offers smooth performance, easy cold starts, and modern road manners, making the truck far more enjoyable for regular use. The addition of a Hurst shifter adds a sporty, performance-oriented touch and enhances the driving experience.
Inside, the black interior provides a clean and purposeful cabin that complements the exterior nicely. The simple, driver-focused layout reflects the truck's honest, utilitarian roots while still offering the comfort needed for weekend cruising or daily driving. Everything works together to give the truck a balanced feel. Classic where it counts and upgraded where it matters.
Overall, this 1985 GMC C1500 is a well-executed restomod pickup that offers the best of both worlds. With its modern V8 power, automatic transmission, and iconic square-body style, it?s an ideal choice for someone looking for a classic truck that's ready to be driven and enjoyed without sacrificing reliability or character.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
