Five Hot LS Rides from Mecum Orlando 2021

By -

2020 GMC Sierra

No. 3: 2020 Sierra

There’s “professional grade,” and then there’s this custom 2020 GMC Sierra. Converted to rock a short bed in the back, the Sierra packs a 5.3-liter V8 under the hood, and rides upon custom forged wheels. It’s also a star on the scene, having been in LSX Magazine, GM Authority, and was the featured truck for SEMA 360.

1968 Chevrolet C10

No. 2: 1968 C10

Here’s another custom LS-powered truck, this time a ’68 Chevy C10 with an LS3 and 4L60E to move the 19- and 20-inch wheels. And like the previous entry, this C10 has a few accolades on its resume, including Goodguys Truck of the Year finalist, and 2019 C10 Nationals Truck of the Year. The redline tires are a nice touch on this red-and-tan pickup.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette

No. 1: 1962 Corvette

Finally, this final-year C1-era Corvette leaves the 327 behind for an LS3 with 525 ponies going through the 4L70E automatic. The silver paint and red interior are immaculate, especially with the latter’s handmade leather dash. Who said an old dog couldn’t learn new tricks?
