This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup LS3 Restomod is a member of the Chevrolet Advance Design Series of light-duty pickup trucks. Introduced after World War 2, the series debuted in 1947 and ran for eight years. As well as two-door pickup trucks, you could also have two-door panel trucks or station wagons if you choose. Three carrying capacities were on offer; the 3100 was the ½ ton offering, the 3600 could take ¾ ton, and the 3800 topped out at one ton. The series has found great acclaim with the purist, as well as restomod communities; this particular example is firmly for the latter.
Sporting an aptly named Lead Foot Gray paint theme, it's clear from the outset that this isn't how it left the factory. The truck has been lowered; slammed would be the correct term, given how low it rides. It also sports black five-spoke American Racing alloy wheels that are a whopping 20 inches in size, wrapped with low-profile street rubber. The Chevrolet 3100 badging remains, albeit blacked out, and the truck bed appears to have been refurbished too. The headlamps are modern LED-equipped units that offer enhanced nighttime visibility. The interior has seen extensive restoration and modernization and now sports a black and orange theme. The original-styled dash remains, as does the column shifter, but a set of modern, electrically adjustable seats have been placed for better comfort. You'll also find new white-faced gauges that offer engine RPM, oil pressure, and battery voltage read-outs in addition to the speedometer, fuel gauge, and coolant temperature gauges that this truck will have had as stock. Further investigation reveals a Vintage Air control panel indicating that this truck now has air conditioning and switches for power windows. Infotainment has seen a massive upgrade, with a touchscreen-enabled double-DIN Kenwood head unit installed within the custom center console. You'll even find that cup holders are now present.
A proper restomod isn't complete if the mechanicals haven't been touched. When this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup LS3 Restomod was original, it likely had one of three in-line six-cylinder engine options, ranging from 216ci to 261ci. What you'll find now is a modern GM LS3 V8 that displaces 6.2L and is easily capable of 400hp. Drive goes to the rear wheels via an automatic gearbox, making smoky burnouts very easy if desired. A peek under the skin also reveals some Strong Arms suspension components, and we're led to believe that adjustable air suspension has been installed to enable a raised height when driving. Wilwood brakes peek out from behind the rims, indicating a braking upgrade has been performed too.
This 1952 Chevrolet 3100 started life as a member of Chevy's Advance Design series of pickup trucks. Debuting in 1947, the Advance Design was the first major revamp of Chevy's pickup truck lineup since World War II. These sturdy trucks helped propel hardworking Americans into prosperity and became a fixture of agriculture and commerce across the country. Fast forward to the current era, and you'll find many who have survived and thrived, too. Some are now concourse-level restoration examples, some retain their original patina and await some TLC, while another segment has been turned into resto-mods. That's what this particular truck has become, with a rotisserie restoration, a new heart, some enhancements under the skin, and a few modern creature comforts for the cabin.

The concept of a "wolf in sheep's clothing" is perfectly exemplified by this 1956 Chevrolet 3100. On the surface, it presents the quintessential charm of a classic American truck, but beneath its vintage exterior lies the heart of a beast—a modern 5.3L Vortec V8 engine brimming with enhancements. This juxtaposition of classic aesthetics and contemporary performance makes it an extraordinary find for enthusiasts of both old-school charm and modern muscle.
This is the car that changed the iconic Corvette’s script: the Chevrolet Corvette C8. By relocating the 6.2L V8 to the middle instead of leaving it at the front, Chevrolet bred a new track monster. The C8 is a beast that costs almost half the price of its European rivals. The example we have for sale is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT which is equipped with a Theft Deterrent System, among other choice options. The car has a mere 7,275 miles on the odometer, as it happily awaits its new owner.
The first generation Chevrolet Camaro was the genesis for the long line of models that followed. It set in motion a trend of good looks, tractable power, and all-out performance that is recognized to this day. And none did more for impressionable owners than the Camaro SS. The SS was a performance package added to the base Camaro that included larger engine options and an improved chassis to handle the extra power. It sat below the Z/28 and could be combined with the RS (Rally Sport) appearance package. The car offered for sale here is reported to have undergone a frame-off restoration, which was completed just last year. Since the work was carried out, the new engine has covered less than 2,500 miles.
What you are looking at here is a Chevrolet that was regarded as an auto icon. This legend belongs to the last year of the Tri-Five and it is stunning from every angle you look at it. When a vehicle of this nature that has been restored to this level, it is intimidating to every other vehicle from its era. This beautiful example of the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe looks and acts overall like an original can but bears a few upgrades to make it a much more enjoyable experience. Boasting only 5,000 miles on its clock, this Bel Air Restomod is a showstopper no matter where you decide to roll up in it.
Pickup trucks have always been an icon of the American automotive scene. And while new imports have tried to wrestle their own slice of market share, back in the ’70s and ’80s, there were few other options than American iron. In Chevrolet’s corner, you had the C/K models. By 1984, the C/K was in its third generation, with several facelifts applied along the way. But no matter what shape or size, the Chevrolet C/K pickup has always held a special place in the hearts of many. On offer today is a recently restored example of a 1984 Chevrolet C10 Pickup looking for a new home.
From 1960, Dodge's D-Series pickup trucks were available to enthusiastic and hard-working buyers right up until 1993. The D-Series was the automaker's answer to the Chevy C/K Series and Ford F-Series. Over time, the D-Series became the Ramcharger, then the Dodge RAM, and now is its own sub-brand, called RAM. This particular 1967 Dodge D100 is a two-door pickup truck that's received a full frame-off restoration, and awaits a new owner with eagerness.
The Ford Bronco needs no introduction, as it's a legendary American-designed, American-built, and American-marketed four-by-four. Widely regarded as the first proper Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) by an American automaker, the Bronco saw five generations, spanning 1966 to 1996. Then, Ford took a twenty-five-year hiatus amidst groans and much disappointment. They returned in 2021 with the new sixth-generation Bronco, which sells like the proverbial hotcakes; we've shifted quite a few ourselves. But, if a classic Bronco is more your thing, this 1994 Ford Bronco XLT is a fine candidate. This 107,800-mile machine was imported from Colombia in July of 2023. Searching for a new home to take it in, will you be its next custodian? If so, call us ASAP, and we'll help you out.
