Post World War II, America and the rest of the world were gearing up for a booming economy. Automakers were excited; the powers at the helm had pledged no more war, and things looked bright. Chevrolet released their aptly-named Advance Design series of light and medium-duty trucks in 1947. The Chevrolet 3100 marked the entry point as a half-ton truck, and it was greatly received by an eager public. As time passed, some examples fell to ruin, some were lovingly maintained and restored, and others became platforms for great restomods. This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod comes from that third category, and you won't believe what it's packing under the hood until you see and experience it for yourself.
On the outside, this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod doesn't deviate too much from its late-Forties design, save for an eye-catching bright red paintwork. It still retains its chrome bumpers, period headlamps, the requisite badging, and a chrome grille. It's a similar story at the rear, where the taillamps haven't been chucked out in favor of more modern LED units. The cargo bed is all wooden for that old-school feel. However, the truck as a whole sits lower than it would have, and you'll also notice newer aluminum alloy wheels are present. The rear wheels, in particular, are much meatier than would have come in 1950. These are the first hints that something is stirring underneath the hood. Entering the cabin of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod will grant you more clues to its restomod status. Instead of the period bench seat, you'll find two Ford Ranger seats to sit upon. The current owner reports that the red and black interior was completely redone, and we can also find some new white-faced gauges ahead of the driver. The steering wheel and steering column also appear to be from a more contemporary Chevy.
Now, let's meet the beast under the hood of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod. The 350ci V8 residing within is said to have been built by Legget and GT Racing, and reportedly kicks out 800hp. A 400 Turbo automatic transmission sends it to the rear wheels, while control is enhanced by power steering and power brakes.
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.

The C3, or third-generation Corvette, was a radical upgrade over the C2. Sporting an all-new design and revamped engineering, the C3 ran between 1968 and 1982. If you're knowledgeable about or lived through the Seventies, you'd know that the Malaise Era was during this period. Yes, this 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is from that time. However, even though the Malaise Era brought the automotive world to its knees, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars around. This sentiment is not ours but of Car and Driver in 1975. Hence, with less than 14,000 reportedly original miles on the clock, you can be assured that this example is a stunner to drive. There are quite a few reportedly original bits on it as well, making it an excellent classic for the discerning.
Chevy's renowned El Camino nameplate redefined what a pickup truck could be when it was married with a stylish and sporty coupe body style. Designed to offer the comfort of a car, coupled with the versatility of a compact pickup truck, the El Camino created the segment called the Coupe Utility. Of course, the El Camino wasn't the first coupe utility, but it's arguably the most well-known, especially as it was produced up to 1987. Hence, this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino represents one of the last examples to leave the GM production lines and grace our roads. If you buy it, you'll be gaining a relatively modern vehicle, a definite future classic, and a piece of Americana. What's not to like about that trifecta?
At first glance, it may appear like any other Corvette C8, but after a closer look, it becomes evident that this is no ordinary Corvette. A set of beefy tires in the rear will make people ponder what this 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT LMR is capable of; upgraded by Late Model Racecraft (LMR), this beast houses a custom-built 1,500HP twin-turbocharged engine. With custom engine harnesses and computer controls to optimize maximum power and additional custom fuel and coolant lines to ensure this Corvette performs at its peak. Over from the factory, the Corvette C8 hosts an ample of additional packages such as; the Z51 Performance package, incorporating a range of performance-oriented features like upgraded brakes, suspension, and aerodynamic aids. With the Carbon Fiber Dual Roof package shedding off weight, to the Front Lift suspension providing additional clearance, and the battery protection package. With a mere 8,208 miles on the odometer, this Corvette C8 exemplifies its versatility, making it equally at home on the racetrack as it is on the streets.
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.
