Astonishing 90s Chevy Truck Mystery: Uncovering the Backstory Behind its Bird Beak Body Kit
Wildest Facebook Marketplace Find: 1990 Chevrolet Shadi Custom Pickup
With millions of people listing their belongings for sale on Facebook Marketplace every day, I’ve seen it all – or so I thought. This insane, one-off custom 1990 Chevrolet C1500 is definitely a departure from the run-of-the-mill listings, though. Officially known as a Shadi 2000 (pronounced "shaddai"), not "shawty" as my inner monologue insisted, it’s a work of art masquerading as a pickup truck.
Retro-Futuristic Design
This behemoth was built back in the early 1990s, part of a mere four survivors and seven total projects completed by its mysterious creator. Beneath the Shadi body lies a donor Chevrolet C1500, paired with a trusty 350-cubic-inch V8 powerplant. Unfortunately, it has succumbed to the allure of carbureation instead of upgrading to throttle-body injection.
Technical Specifications:
• Engine: 350-Cubic-Inch V8 with carbureator
• Transmissions: TBD
• Exterior Dimensions: ≈15 feet
• Interior Capabilities: Two-toned retro-futurism
This beast has spent years accumulating intrigue and mystery – who built it? What are the stories hidden within its bespoke panels? Currently priced at an "as-is" $13,888 after plummeting from a high of $28,000, it begs the question: Who will seize the opportunity and call this monster home?
