Chevy's Advance Design series of pickup trucks was the automaker's first major new truck product after World War II. Debuting for the 1947 model year, these trucks ran for eight years before the Task Force took over. What came after the Task Force? The venerable C/K series. After that? The Silverado. Now you can see the pedigree which these trucks created. This particular 1952 Chevrolet 3100 is thus a fine example of early American pickup trucking, and it's a rather lovely restomod too. We're told that a restoration and restomod effort was started in 1996 and took five years to finish. Would you like to be the next owner of this head-turner? Read on and be tantalized.
Exterior and Interior
We're told that the current blue-green paintwork on this 1952 Chevrolet 3100 is from around 2001, the tail end of its five-year restoration. Over two decades later, the paintwork still stuns, a testament to how well this truck has been looked after since then. You'll also note the lovely mag-style wheels that seem to go well with the Fifties and Sixties vehicles. Finally, take a few moments to appreciate the lovely wood-lined cargo bed. This is one cargo bed you're never going to want to toss a load of two-by-four into. And why should you? This truck's working life is done; it's now ready to be coveted and cared for. Let's check out the interior, which we're told was also redone around 2001. Here, we see some signs of updates, namely a new instrument cluster, a more modern three-spoke Chevy steering wheel, and a refreshed gear knob. The pedals also sport metal pedal covers. Meanwhile, the seat has been upholstered in gray fabric and has gained lap belts. It also provides a flip-down armrest for the driver and passenger's comfort. The door cards are upholstered in the same fabric as the seats, and you'll see that elements such as door pulls, and window winders are new metal items. The cherry on the cake is a retro-modern push-button radio atop the dashboard, which adds a tape player to the mix.
Engine
The restomodding effort is most apparent in the powertrain department. Here, this 1952 Chevrolet 3100 packs a 350ci V8 crate engine rated for 330hp. The engine is blessed with a slight cam, a high-rise intake, and dual Edelbrock 500 carburetors. A Turbo 350 automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels, and we're told that the transmission and rear end are from a 1977 Trans Am. Finally, the front brakes have been converted to disc for added stopping power, given that no Advance Design truck ever came with 330 horses from the factory.
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 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod blends classic pickup styling with modern performance upgrades, creating a truck built for enthusiasts who appreciate vintage character with contemporary drivability. Finished in red with a beige interior, this Chevrolet features a 6.2L naturally aspirated LS3 V8 paired with an automatic transmission, delivering a modern performance experience while retaining the timeless appeal of the Advance Design-era pickup. Additional upgrades include rack & pinion steering, a 9" Ford rear end, 4-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, and a custom-finished interior. Showing 5,451 miles, this restomod Chevrolet 3100 combines classic truck design with carefully selected performance and comfort enhancements.
The 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod is a custom-built pickup that combines the timeless appearance of Chevrolet’s iconic Task Force-era truck with the modern mechanical foundation of a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Showing approximately 4,601 miles, this build retains the classic 1955 Chevrolet 3100 cab, front fenders, hood, grille, bed, and other vintage body components while utilizing the Silverado’s modern chassis, drivetrain, suspension, fuel system, and electrical components underneath. The result is a unique restomod that preserves the character of a classic Chevrolet pickup while incorporating the drivability and technology of a much newer platform.
The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from the heart of the C2 era, when the Corvette had already matured into a genuinely serious American sports car without losing the raw character that made the Sting Ray famous. This example leans heavily into that character. Showing 19,053 miles, it pairs a 327ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and a four-speed manual transmission, then adds the kind of period-style attitude enthusiasts gravitate toward: side-mount exhaust, knock-off-style turbine wheels, and a vivid Sunfire Yellow finish over a black interior. The current owner reports more than $83,000 invested into the build, with attention extending beyond cosmetics into the cooling system, ignition components, timing hardware, and other supporting mechanical upgrades. What makes this car appealing is that it still delivers the classic C2 experience in the way enthusiasts want it: small-block V8 up front, manual gearbox in the middle, drive going to the rear, and very little standing between the driver and the car. The side pipes give the Corvette a more aggressive presence and soundtrack, while the custom paint and wheel setup emphasize the long-hood, short-deck proportions that made the midyear Corvette one of Chevrolet’s most iconic designs.
By 2008, the C6 Corvette had matured into one of the strongest all-around American performance cars of its era, and this example combines the right mechanical hardware with an unusually extensive equipment list. Showing 50,966 miles, this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is equipped with the desirable 3LT Preferred Equipment Group and Z51 Performance Package, pairing the LS3 V8 with a six-speed manual transmission, 3.42:1 limited-slip rear axle, and dual-mode performance exhaust. It was also specified with the GCA Ultimate Package, adding a collection of appearance upgrades that give this Victory Red Corvette a more distinctive presence than a typical C6. An aftermarket front splitter and audio head unit add further personalization while retaining the fundamental character that makes a manual Z51 C6 such an appealing enthusiast car.
The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is already one of the most serious modern American performance cars, combining supercharged V8 power, a six-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and Magnetic Ride Control in a package built to run with far more exotic machinery. This example takes that formula several steps further. Showing approximately 16,439 miles, it has been extensively upgraded around a Magnuson 2650 supercharger setup with supporting fuel, valvetrain, exhaust, cooling, and drivetrain hardware. A Satin Black vinyl wrap over Riverside Blue Metallic, aftermarket wheels, BMR springs, an aftermarket spoiler, and an Anderson carbon fiber wing give it the visual presence to match the mechanical work underneath. For the enthusiast who wants a manual ZL1 that goes well beyond bolt-on territory, this is the kind of build that delivers both attitude and substance.
