LAS VEGAS – During the heyday of the muscle car, three digits struck fear into the hearts of challengers who found themselves unlucky enough to sidle up next to a Chevy wearing the badge “427.†The badge is back on the Silverado 427 – a concept vehicle that demonstrates a tangible extension of the new Silverado’s performance parameters.

Oh my goodness, I am in love. My 1990 Silverado was a blue single cab, short bed just like that. I would have to kick my wife out of bed to make room for that!!
