At Velocity Restorations, one of the most fun parts about building our high-caliber restomods is exploring bold and unique color palettes that honor classic heritage while adding a fresh, modern twist. Sure, Brittany Blue Fords and Hugger Orange Chevys look great (and are period correct), but sometimes we enjoy pushing the limits, which is the case on this Velocity Street Series 1969 Chevy C10 painted wearing a two-tone paint job featuring Eruption Green.
Velocity Street Series 1969 Chevy C10 in Eruption GreenThe Art of Customization: Why Eruption Green Works So Well
A variety of green hues were originally offered on the Classic Chevy C10 from 1967-72, although none were anything like this. Eruption Green, originally developed by Ford for the 2022 Bronco, is a rich shade of dark green that offers just the right balance of boldness and sophistication. At Velocity, we’re not afraid to experiment with color: Aventurine Green is a popular color on the Porsche 911, and it looks amazing on the classic Ford Bronco!
In 2023, Velocity applied Eruption Green to its first-ever K5 Blazer restomod build, which proved to be an instant hit. Now, boldly featured on the Velocity Street Series 1969 Chevy C10, this Ford-inspired color takes on an entirely new persona—turning Chevy’s C10 workhorse into a street-ready performance truck that demands attention at every turn. The beauty of this particular color choice isn’t just its uniqueness but how well it complements the C10’s timeless body lines. It’s a perfect example of how strategic color selection can elevate a classic without taking away from its heritage.
The deep green hue enhances the truck’s muscular stance, while the contrasting two-tone white paint on the lower body and roof ties gives an old-school vibe, tying in the truck’s modernized classic theme. As always, Velocity completes the C10’s fully restored, fully modernized transformation with elements such as classic chrome trim, custom-machined billet accents, and those beautiful Forgeline wheels that help give the truck it’s eye-catching lowered stance.
Blending Classic Heritage With Modern Flair
The most rewarding aspect of any Velocity build is the impressive attention to detail from color selection to interior refinements. This classic Chevy C10 has a cabin that is both luxurious and functional, featuring premium materials, a refined dash layout, and modern conveniences that make it a joy to drive. That starts with the rich, dark brown leather, and even the plush carpet gives an upscale feel you won’t find in your run-of-the-mill restorations. This leather is complemented with more custom-machined billet, and elements such as the power windows, touchscreen stereo, and Vintage Air climate control provide contemporary comforts without sacrificing the vintage look.
Performance That Matches The Look
As the newest offering in the Velocity’s Street Performance Collection, this striking truck is a full battery of performance and handling enhancements. Under the hood, this 1969 Chevy C10 is powered by a modern 6.2L LT1 V8 from Chevrolet Performance, bringing a serious dose of modern muscle to this classic. And drivers can easily put this engine’s 460-horsepower output can to full use thanks to the Roadster Shop Spec Chassis combining the strength, handling, and ride comfort of a brand-new truck with adjustable coilovers and performance four-wheel disc brakes. Whether you’re cruising the streets or showing off at a car meet, the Velocity Street Series Chevy C10 has the power to match its bold personality.
