The market for vintage trucks has seen a steady rise over the years. There are many ways one can go about restoring a vintage truck. Some prefer taking the factory standard path; some choose to go all out and modify their trucks to suit modern tastes. Some even leave it like they were in all its patina and glory. While a vintage truck restomod sounds nice, it's easy to get carried away with the number of options available. Too many modifications may lose the character and essence of a vintage truck. At the same time, too few upgraded don't make any difference to the vehicle and don't match. However, this 1957 Chevrolet Pickup Restomod we have today is the perfect balance of maintaining the truck's original design features and some sweet modifications to keep you company on a drive out.
This 1957 Chevrolet Pickup Restomod sports a purple exterior and has reportedly seen a complete rebuild. To give you a slight idea of the scale of its rebuild, the seller reports that the vehicle had to be sectioned 3 inches from both doors to make the fenders line up. This truck rides low, and the billet specialty wheels on the truck help perfect its look well. Matching the purple exterior of this 1957 Chevrolet Pickup Restomod is a white interior. Gone are the days of a utilitarian styled interior; you now have leather seats and comfort on the menu. The dashboard now sees a billet and wooden styled steering wheel and gauges to monitor the upgraded power available under the hood. Good tunes are made possible with a CD player reportedly ready to be installed.
Chevrolet sure went to town with naming engine trims for vintage trucks. You had the Thriftmaster, Jobmaster, Loadmaster and Taskmaster; all engine trims were big old V8 engines with just enough power to get you going. However, this 1957 Chevrolet Pickup Restomod sports a powertrain that does get you going but can also double down as a performance machine. Under the hood lies a 6.3 L 383 stroker V8 engine capable of pushing out 330hp. Putting all this power down onto the road is an automatic gearbox.

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.
Nowadays, pickup trucks are recognized as go-anywhere, do-anything tools with the toys to match. In addition to offering the utility that is lent to them thanks to their versatile body style, they now support the same creature comforts as some of the most luxurious high-end cars while offering the power and style to match. But, in post-war America, the humble pickup was favored for its versatility, practicality, and reliability. However, even though style may have taken a backseat in the minds of the consumer, there’s no denying the classic charm of this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. Our featured truck is reported to be mostly original but has been subject to routine and preventative maintenance. It also features a new 216ci inline six-cylinder engine.
Pickup trucks are utilitarian beasts designed to support busy professionals while offering the versatility and flexibility to haul any cargo unhindered by the constraints a normal car or SUV would have. But clearly, the designers at Chevrolet didn’t think pickups had to be boring machines lacking character. How can we be so sure? One look at this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 will give you all the evidence you need. The 1955 Chevrolet 3100 not only retains its original good looks and styling, but the build has focused on making this classic pickup as usable today as it would have been when new. As such, you’ll find a few modern appointments to keep this 3100 in line with the times.
The Chevrolet Corvette has always been an iconic sports car. While the fourth generation may have looked like an evolution of its predecessor, under the skin, things were completely redesigned. The C4 features a revised five-link suspension set up for the rear, which greatly improved handling. The fiberglass panels were upgraded to plastic, and the radiator was angled at 15 degrees so that police radar would have a harder time locking on to the front end. All in all, the C4 generation of Chevrolet Corvette marked a massive shift for the model — and it’s no wonder that interest and prices are on the rise. Our featured car is a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 43,000 miles on the clock. It could be the perfect companion for your next classic adventure.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
While we come across several custom builds here at Exotic Car Trader, rarely do we offer a prototype that was created from the ground up. The 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer is a one-of-a-kind creation currently offered for sale by the car's builder and inventor. Using a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 as a donor, the sale includes the molds used in its creation of the custom bodywork. The curb weight is reportedly just 2,620 lbs, which is roughly 500 pounds lighter than the original Z06 donor car. One look at this painstakingly crafted prototype, and you can tell that hundreds of hours of engineering and planning have gone into its creation. If you’re looking for something truly unique and an appearance that wouldn’t look out of place tearing around the Circuit de la Sarthe, then this 2002 Carter Prototype Le Mans Racer could be the perfect opportunity.
While Ford had the legendary Bronco, General Motors was backing their own iconic horse in the full-size SUV category of the ‘70s. It fielded their ever-popular Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models. By 1975, the Jimmy was into its second generation. Known as the “Rounded Line” or “Square Body” generation, these models were available in both two and four-wheel drive and were closely related to the Chevrolet C/K trucks. The classic styling of this generation of Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmys is loved by fans of old-school offroaders. It's where good looks, functionality, and off-road prowess all converge at one intersection. Our featured 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD has been lovingly upgraded for life in the 21st century, with many new parts and subtle improvements made along the way. It features a 350ci V8 engine with 65,000 miles on it.
The Land Rover Defender is a legendary piece of machinery; it was built on the battlefield and for many is still the best tool for getting a job done, be it a spot of farming or off-roading in style.
