An early ancestor of today’s Chevy Silverado pickup truck, this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 hails from the Chevrolet Advance Design series. Introduced in 1947, Chevy was geared to mobilize the masses after World War II had ended and entrepreneurship was recovering. Countless farmers, tradespersons and small businesses would rely on these trucks, after all. The range started with the 3100 half-ton variant, and went up to the 3800 one-ton variant. Today’s truck has received quite a few replacement parts and enhancements, making it something of a restomod. With just 3,500 miles on its crate V8 engine, this truck resides in Silverton, Oregon, and could be yours for the taking.
If you buy this truck, you’ll definitely want to drive it around as much as possible. With its iconic ʼ40s design and bright red paint, this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 will turn heads for miles as it rolls on a set of Cragar wheels shod in new tires. The truck’s prominent chrome grille and chrome bumper really make a statement, as do its side running boards and half bed-style pickup truck. Decals along the side read Holly Llama Farms of Marquam, Oregon. There’s even an electronic tow hitch, so you can pull a trailer if needed. The interior of this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 is similarly decked out in restomod style. There’s a period correct dashboard and instrumentation, but the seats have been upgraded for high-back units with headrests that are much more comfortable and supportive than the low bench that will have been stock fitment way back in 1953. The truck includes a Bluetooth AM/FM radio that’s been built by Antique Radio for that period feel, and there’s a discretely fitted aftermarket backup camera system too. We also see an aftermarket heating and ventilation system fitted beneath the dashboard, but aren’t sure if it includes air conditioning.
A new 350ci crate V8 powers this 1953 Chevrolet 3100, and it’s hooked up to a nice 5-speed manual transmission for that extra bit of driving engagement. As you’d expect, the truck is rear-wheel drive. Braking has received an upgrade too, with four disc brakes on hand to bring this beauty to a safe and steady stop every time.

To be an automotive icon one would have to challenge the norm - give car buyers a chance to think out of what they know and fall in love at the same time. Turn back the clock to the 60s and thats exactly what Chevrolet did with the release of its 3rd installation of its legendary Corvette marque. It was the astronauts' chosen machine, a hollywood mainstay and the reason why most automotive dealerships saw a lot of footfall. Present today is an American automotive icon and takes shape with this legendary 1964 Chevrolet Corvette.
The first and second generation Chevy Corvette makes for a fine specimen with which to start collecting classic cars. If you want one from the very first era, you can find some lovely C1s out there, but the C2 or second generation is the real showstopper of the Sixties. It introduced many features such as pop-up headlamps, boat-tailed styling, and of course, only came with V8s. There’s no shortage of great examples around, but we’ve got a C2 that’s a bit more special than the rest. Yes, this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible reportedly bears the signature of Zora Arkus-Duntov, widely known as the Father of the Corvette. With a big block under the hood and 44,855 miles on the odometer, this is a classic Corvette that’s definitely worth cherishing, although it loves a spirited drive too. The car is a numbers matching one that’s reportedly been fully restored, which is why it looks in such great condition.
The iconic Willys Jeep is a reminder of what can happen when military vehicles are the basis of inspiration for something aimed at civilian use. When World War II ended, Willys-Overland knew that the demand for military Jeeps would die. Smartly, they realized that with some updates and adjustments, this battlefield stalwart could offer fantastic utility to aspiring Americans, particularly those engaged in agriculture. Hence, the CJ or Civilian Jeep line-up was born in 1944. It was made until 1986 across multiple iterations, each one with many updates and enhancements over the last. Today, we’ve got a 1958 Willys Jeep CJ-5 from Gulfport, Mississippi for sale. This timeless classic off-roader has received quite a few updates, making it a fine addition to any car collection.
The quirky Chevy El Camino raised quite a few eyebrows when the model made it to the market in 1959. From the front half, it was a coupe. Then, the rear half blended into a pickup truck with a full cargo bed on offer. The type was called the coupe utility. Most importantly, it didn’t have the typical body-on-frame stance of a pickup truck. For example, the passenger cabin and the truck bed flowed into each other like one smooth silhouette. That’s because the Chevy El Camino was based on car platforms. Initially, the Biscayne served as its basis, then the Chevelle and finally GM’s G-Body platform. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Chevrolet El Camino which hails from the fifth generation of this well-known nameplate. The fifth generation was, sadly, the last, terminating production in 1987, so this vehicle is quite a definitive classic to own and drive. Bearing a decent 115,638 miles, you can see that this Madisonville, Kentucky-based coupe utility has led an interesting life.
The Toyota Land Cruiser: It’s one of the top off-roaders in the world, with a rich history dating back to 1951, making it Toyota’s longest-running nameplate. For many, a Land Cruiser is the best four-by-four, full stop. Others have made similar vehicles and continue to do so, but few can touch a properly driven and purposefully upgraded Land Cruiser in the truly rough stuff of the wilderness. Plus, the Land Cruiser has a distinctive reputation for reliability that few of its rivals can even come close to. There’s a popular saying “others may take you there but a Land Cruiser will bring you home”. So, if you’re a Land Cruiser aficionado or just looking to buy a weekend off-roader, check out this 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Restomod from Dania Beach, Florida. With a full restoration under its belt, this timeless machine has reportedly done just 185 miles since then, and packs some neat modern features too.
