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.
American trucks of the ’50s were true workhorses; they helped shape and move a nation and captured the hearts of many. Fast forward to today, and the love for American trucks has now been transformed from one of practical value to aesthetic value. The transformation means a massive shift in how classic American trucks look and perform; take this 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window we have, for instance. This classic American truck features the perfect balance of old-school charm and new-age performance and looks.
Pickup trucks have grown in popularity over the years, but they’ve always managed to form the backbone of America. Whether it be working hard in commercial applications or offering added versatility to the everyman or woman, it’s no wonder why vehicles like this 1957 Chevrolet 3100 are treasured by collectors today. Our featured car is reported as a full restoration, and from the images we present here, you can see why. Finished in a stunning shade of blue, this 1957 Chevrolet 3100 features some immaculately restored details, including completely redone chrome and a rebuilt V8 engine and transmission. Located in Longs, South Carolina, this classic workhorse could be yours.
Chevrolet pickup trucks are some of the most sought-after classic trucks on the market, with their designs being wistful memories of a bygone era. Our featured 1955 Chevrolet 3100 is exactly that: an honest American workhorse hero that has received some extra love and attention after years of work. Having undergone a full restoration, which includes a rebuilt engine and an all-new rear end, this classic Chevy is available for sale in New Iberia, Louisiana. With a 235ci Straight 6 engine under the hood and a host of newly replaced parts, this truck could be the perfect addition to a collection, or the ideal starter classic for anyone interested in characterful pickups.
A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
Ford has the Mustang, and Chevrolet had the Camaro. Back in the ’60s, it was a winning duo for consumers, with the two frontrunners in the pony car race battling on both backroads and race tracks. Our featured 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is a fine specimen just waiting to go to a new home. It features a striking blue exterior, a well-kept black interior, and a 383ci stroker V8 under the hood. This immaculate classic has reportedly been subject to a recent motor and transmission install, which means it should offer a trouble-free ownership experience to whoever is lucky enough to take possession next.
Now in its third generation, the 1980 Chevrolet Corvette (or C3) was coming to the end of its life. But this typically American creation still had a lot to offer, with the solid underpinnings of the C3 ’Vette and the gorgeous Mako Shark II-inspired bodywork. Launched in 1968, it was still known as a serious alternative to the best that Europe had to offer. Our featured car includes a 350ci L48 V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission and features several upgrades to improve not only reliability but performance as well.
The GMC Jimmy is the sister vehicle of the Chevrolet Blazer. Both vehicles are basically SUV variants of the Chevy C/K-series of pickup trucks, and offer a more family-friendly value proposition. Until 1976, these SUVs also came with a removable hardtop, although it wasn’t as straightforward to remove as a typical convertible top. If you’d like to own one of these iconic vehicles, check out this 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD that’s for sale right now in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The vehicle has reportedly covered 58,000 miles so far.
If you want a classic Toyota Land Cruiser that’s still able to dish it out in spades when the road disappears, you can’t go amiss by selecting a J40 variant. The J40 era was made between 1960 and 1984, but production continued in Brazil until 2001. With its iconic style and simplistic mechanicals, it’s incredibly easy to fix a J40 in the field if it does go wrong – which, isn’t very often, let us tell you. That’s why you’ll encounter J40s doing yeoman service in various parts of the world where today’s SUVs would simply cry and throw up myriad error messages on their delicate digital screens. So, if you’re an adventurer with an eager heart and a desire to explore our country, this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is a great companion. It’s recently received a host of new parts and awaits your consideration in Miami, Florida.
There’s something unmistakably charming about a classic off-roader. Cars that were built for purpose may have lacked the frills that modern machinery grants us, but they also highlight exactly what we love about them. Our featured 1966 Ford Bronco Restomod aims to blend both the old and the new together with this stunning restomod that features some crucial upgrades. We’re talking about a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine under the hood, new Wilwood brakes, and much more that makes this period-looking Bronco as usable and potent as you could hope for. The build has reportedly been carried out by Rocky Roads, and the new Coyote engine reportedly features less than 2,000 miles of running.
