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.
Chevy’s Task Force series of pickup trucks debuted in 1955, and is the predecessor of the C/K series, which subsequently morphed into the Silverado. Hence, this 1959 Chevrolet 3100 is a forefather of today’s Chevy Silverado full-size pickup trucks. Fresh off a comprehensive restoration, this example has just 15,000 miles since the build, and comes with all servicing up to date. Two keys are also included with the sale of this stunner, making it an excellent restomod to own, drive, and cherish.
The Chevy Task Force was the Bowtie’s standard pickup truck offering between 1955 and 1959. Taking over from the Advance Design series, the Task Force is the predecessor of the C/K-Series, that is now known as the Silverado. So, the series is an important one in American pickup truck history. That’s why you’ll find Task Force trucks to be excellent classic vehicles, especially if you want something out of the ordinary. If that sounds like you, we’ve got a lovely 1956 Chevrolet Truck up for sale with under 39,000 miles on the odometer. However, you’d better act fast, as vehicles like this don’t stick around for long.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
Every so often, American automakers love to wow the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2022 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT, with just under 14,000 miles, is a car that would knock the socks off all of its competitors. The Corvette name has been around since 1953 and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. It's good to see that not much has changed.
The first Generation Chevrolet Camaro was nothing short of iconic. Fast-forward to today, and you have multiple iterations of an iconic muscle car. Some choose a full-on custom build to stand out, while others prefer the old-fashioned way. Present today is the latter, which takes the form of this lovely 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. This factory-clean example has been lovingly used and preserved. The current owner reports that the car comes with receipts from 1984 detailing its journey.
The perfect build on a classic is a term rarely spoken of in the automotive world. Let's cut to the chase and present you with a rarity. Present today is what many would consider the perfect build, and it takes shape with this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. With a full restoration and less than 500 miles on the clock, this classic powerhouse is built to raise eyebrows when on power and turn heads as you drive by.
The Chevrolet Advance Design series of trucks was the Bowtie’s first new offering in the truck segment since World War II ended. Debuting for the 1947 model year, the range comprised several derivatives, including the 3100, 3600 and 3800, which were ½, ¾ and 1 ton trucks respectively. This 1954 Chevrolet 3600 Cummins Mini Semi is one of the ¾-ton examples, and is truly one of a kind. That’s because it’s reportedly been built over 35 years, as per the current owner. It’s got a more powerful and newer engine too, with just 55,000 reported miles. The transmission is also a more modern unit with just 6,000 miles on it. So, if you want something that’s distinctive, interesting and practical too, pick this 1954 Chevrolet 3600 Cummins Mini Semi.
Tackling the great outdoors and its uncertainty requires a machine that's ready to take on anything in its path. If you're on the lookout for a machine that drives you further in confidence, look no further than this 1968 Jeepster Commando restomod we have today. With an extensive build spec and a reported $175,000 invested into it, this custom build has a reported 100 miles on the clock and is a machine that's built to tackle anything in its path.
The Chevrolet C and K series were built between 1960 and 2002 in four generations and are the ancestors of today’s Silverados. The K models were 4-wheel drive, whereas the C models (like this one) were 2-wheel drive. The 3rd generation was introduced in 1973 and would be in production for the next 18 years. It was both larger and much better equipped than its predecessors. In addition to the increase in size, a 4-door crew cab was added to the lineup with seating for six passengers. Shifts in the market and the use of pickup trucks led to the availability of sedan features and options.
