Chevrolet Silverado

The Silverado name first appeared in 1975 as the top trim package on Chevrolet's C/K series trucks. It wasn't until the 1999 model year that the Silverado became its own model line, built on the GMT800 platform. Since then, it's been one of America's best-selling vehicles, known for its capability and a wide array of configurations.

Collectors are drawn to different eras of the Silverado for unique reasons. The 1988-1998 C/K trucks (GMT400 platform) are gaining popularity for their clean styling, as are the original 1999-2006 GMT800 models for their durability. Performance variants like the Silverado SS from the 2000s and the earlier 454 SS (on the C/K) are especially desirable for their V8 power and limited production numbers.

The market for Silverados is vast, with an average price of around $24,000 reflecting the mix of well-used work trucks and collector-grade examples. While high-mileage trucks can be found for under $10,000, pristine, low-mileage special editions and professionally modified examples can command prices exceeding $100,000. The sheer volume of transactions shows a healthy and active market for nearly every generation.

Based on 568 recent sales, prices range from project trucks selling for a few thousand dollars to collectible variants and custom builds exceeding $141,000.
