Vehicle Story

NASCAR MEETS PRO-TOURING MUSCLE

C10 SS/R- Super Sport Racer | Debuting: SEMA 2026

The C10 SS/R isn't just a build, it’s a declaration. A brutal blend of NASCAR heritage and modern Pro Touring precision, with unbridled GT refinement. This one-of-a-kind 1971 Chevrolet C10 was born from a 1-owner survivor truck and reborn as a no-compromise street-legal Super Sport Racer.

This is where blue-collar muscle meets track-bred aggression. Underneath its lean, slammed stance lies a full race-spec Pro-Tech chassis from No Limit Engineering, outfitted with a four link rear suspension, modern geometry, and motorsports-grade components. It’s engineered for speed, grip, and the kind of confidence that only comes from knowing every nut and bolt was built to run wide open.

From the desert sun to the design studio floor, the C10 SS/R represents the next evolution of Cassar Performance & Design’s bespoke performance ethos. Carved from an original one-owner Arizona survivor, this isn’t just a truck, it’s a machine forged with purpose, precision, and pure American aggression.

From Survivor to Street Weapon.

Build Philosophy

Blending the raw soul of 1970s NASCAR with the geometry and finesse of a modern GT car, the C10 SS/R reimagines what a classic pickup can be. Its stance is unmistakable; low, raked, and unapologetically athletic. Every surface and contour was sketched with intent. Every line speaks a design language that’s both grounded in heritage and hungry for the future.

The powerplant? The suspension? The chassis geometry? Let’s just say this isn’t built for comfort cruises or car shows. It’s being engineered to dominate on the street and turn heads everywhere else. From the tire patch to the firewall, every decision in the SS/R’s design has a singular focus: build a street-legal Super Sport Racer that looks as fast as it drives.
