Today’s candidate is seventy six years old! Yes, this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 is older than your father, and maybe your grandfather as well. It’s a survivor, a truck that’s endured seven plus decades of dynamic change. And it lives, in fine condition too. You see, this truck hails from the Chevy Advance Design series of pickup trucks which were made between 1947 and 1955. That time period is critical, because it was just after World War II. Americans were picking up the pieces and lacing up their boots to get down to the work of reviving the economy. Trucks like this played a major part in such efforts, acting as dependable transport providers to small businesses, farmers, tradespersons and other blue-collar workers. This truck is a kind of restomod too, but it stays as close to original as possible.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 is finished in a rich Forest Green, a color that beautifully complements the truck’s rounded fenders, prominent front grille, and iconic vintage body lines. Its classic silhouette remains one of the most celebrated truck designs of the era, and this example’s finish gives it a clean, refined presence that stands out without straying from its heritage. The wood bed trim adds an extra touch of craftsmanship and period-correct character, reinforcing its classic Americana appeal. The interior of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 has been reupholstered in black, giving the cabin a fresh and well-presented look while preserving the truck’s vintage charm. The renewed upholstery brings a cleaner, more comfortable feel to the bench-seat layout, making it far more inviting for weekend drives and car events. The contrast between the deep black cabin and Forest Green exterior creates a timeless color combination that suits the truck exceptionally well.
Engine
Under the hood, this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 is powered by a 350ci V8 rated at approximately 300 horsepower, delivering strong and dependable small-block Chevrolet performance. Known for its durability and excellent parts support, the 350 V8 is a popular and proven upgrade for classic trucks of this era. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an upgraded 3.55 Posi-Traction rear end, improving traction and giving the truck more confident acceleration and cruising manners. The result is a classic pickup that retains its vintage character while offering the reliability and performance expected from a thoughtfully upgraded restomod.
This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod blends the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Advance-Design pickup with a thoroughly reworked performance-oriented drivetrain and chassis. Finished in Forest Green Metallic over a Black interior, this build is powered by a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 topped with dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors and backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. Supporting upgrades include 4-wheel disc brakes, a power brake booster, an aftermarket suspension setup, custom wheels, and a wood bed floor with polished metal strips. Inside, the truck mixes vintage simplicity with custom touches such as an aftermarket gauge cluster, dash-mounted display screen, and 3-spoke steering wheel. Showing approximately 754 miles, this 3100 presents as a fresh-feeling restomod with classic truck styling and modernized mechanical hardware.
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod Pickup takes the unmistakable Advance-Design shape and gives it the kind of mechanical upgrades that make a classic truck far easier to enjoy today. Showing approximately 3,055 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in red over a custom black interior with red contrast stitching, it combines a lowered stance, aftermarket wheels, modern cooling, air conditioning, and updated instrumentation with the 3100’s signature rounded-fender styling. The result is a classic Chevrolet pickup with a strong street-rod personality and a much more usable drivetrain than stock.
This 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Stepside Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Task Force-era pickup and pairs it with a thoroughly modernized performance package. Showing approximately 28,601 miles, this build is powered by a supercharged 5.0L Coyote V8 with electronic fuel injection and a Roush supercharger, sending power to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. Finished in black over a beige interior, it also benefits from a reupholstered cabin, aftermarket digital gauges, a Pioneer audio head unit, custom wood bed flooring, and aftermarket wheels. It is a strong blend of vintage truck styling and contemporary performance hardware.
The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the later evolution of the C3, and this example brings a particularly appealing ownership story to the table. Showing approximately 72,741 miles, it is powered by an L48 350ci V8 with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Finished in red over a black leather interior, it retains the classic C3 formula with removable T-top roof panels, Rally wheels, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and dual exhaust. Even more notable, the current owner reports that this has been a single-owner car and that they have been the sole driver since new.
The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.
The 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was built as Chevrolet’s personal-luxury coupe, but this example leans much harder into the muscle-car side of that formula. Showing approximately 69,681 miles, it has been upgraded with a 350ci BluePrint V8, 4-barrel carburetor, Turbo 350 3-speed automatic, aftermarket headers, and an aftermarket exhaust system. Power steering, power disc brakes, upgraded suspension components, and factory air conditioning make the package far more usable than a stripped-down street build, while Rally wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and a black vinyl top preserve the period look enthusiasts expect from an early Monte Carlo.
This 1964 Chevrolet C10 Restomod has the look of a proper custom street truck and the hardware to make good on it. Showing just 475 miles, it packs a 6.2L LS3 V8, electronic fuel injection, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic, and a Ford 9-inch rear end into one seriously reworked classic Chevy platform. A custom frame, aftermarket suspension setup, and 4-wheel disc brakes give the truck a far more modern foundation underneath, while the black paint and copper-finished wheels bring the kind of stance and attitude that make a build like this hard to ignore. It is the sort of C10 that appeals as much to the person who wants to inspect every detail at a show as it does to someone who simply wants to fire up an LS-powered classic and enjoy the drive.
This 1966 Chevrolet C10 combines the clean, squared-off look of Chevrolet’s first-generation C/K pickups with a straightforward small-block V8 restomod treatment. Showing approximately 70,291 miles, it is finished in a striking Orange and Gray two-tone exterior over a Black interior. Under the hood sits a 350ci V8 equipped with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake manifold, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Aftermarket headers, wheels, steering wheel, gauges, and audio equipment add to the truck’s customized character, while the wood bed floor with metal strips keeps a classic pickup-truck element intact.
