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.

This classic American truck features the perfect balance of old-school charm and new-age performance and looks.

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.

The C8 Corvette has graduated to become a proper supercar-killing mid-engine monster. But for many, the C7 Corvette is an icon in its own right. It likely is the last front-engine ’Vette, a formula that lasted seven generations. And in ZR1 guise, this 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe 3ZR is every bit as formidable a package, ready to dominate the street and the track. Our featured car is reportedly a low-mileage example, with just 2,290 miles on the odometer. It’s also equipped with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group and a host of performance-focused upgrades, making this a rare opportunity to own one of the most powerful Corvettes ever built.
The Chevrolet Bel Air remains one of the most iconic nameplates in American automotive history. By 1955, it had cemented itself as the go-to choice for those who wanted a stylish, capable, and performance-oriented full-size coupe. This particular 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Custom Hardtop builds upon that legacy, blending classic styling with modern performance enhancements. With a potent 355ci V8 under the hood, a four-speed manual transmission, and a host of tasteful modifications, this Bel Air is ready to turn heads and put down some serious power.
The sixth generation or C6 Corvette arrived for the 2005 model year, and while it dropped the pop-up headlamps of the fifth generation or C5, it more than compensated for them in other areas. The Corvette gained more power, performance, and luxury features. Plus, the Z06 variant came with the largest small block V8 engine ever produced at the time: a mega 7.0-liter beast. If that’s your sort of thrill, check out this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that’s for sale with us right now. This Idaho-based car is reportedly up-to-date on servicing and comes with the Preferred Equipment Group. But what’s more amazing is it packs an STS twin-turbo system, making the car even more exciting to drive.
The Rover company of Britain had to shift their priorities to adjust to the post-war consumer environment. Prior to the War, Rover made luxury cars but in a new era of promised prosperity among austerity, the automaker turned their attention towards bolstering Britain’s burgeoning agricultural industry. The Willys Jeep of USA was the inspiration, and what emerged was the Land Rover Series in 1948. The Series became the Series II, Series III, and Defender over many decades of solid service, not only in Britain, but across the world. Meanwhile, a Spanish automaking outfit called Santana started working closely with Land Rover to build their own versions in Spain. Today, we’ve got one of their creations, a 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana that was reportedly given a full frame-off restoration in 2023. The vehicle’s rebuilt engine has got less than 1,000 miles on it, as has its rebuilt gearbox. Furthermore, this vehicle was imported from Colombia, highlighting the journey that it’s taken halfway across the world to get to Florida where it currently awaits a new owner – which could be you!
The Toyota Land Cruiser is Toyota’s longest-produced and arguably most popular model. This iconic 4x4 has reached nearly every spot on the globe, and is widely renowned for its toughness, capability and reliability. It’s no surprise that Land Cruisers can be seen in a variety of wilderness settings, on scientific expeditions, and even in the capable hands of adventurers. One of the series’ most cherished examples is the J40. Made between 1960 and 1984, there were J40s being built in Brazil as recently as 2001! The J40’s iconic design and spartan but capable mechanicals make it a cult favorite. So here’s a 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 for sale, with a mere 64,639 miles traveled. It’s a great addition to your garage for those trips into the great outdoors, as well as a classic that will only appreciate in value as time goes by. Heck, when today’s newfangled EVs conk out in a decade or two, this FJ40 will still chug on as long as there’s dino juice to feed it.
Jeep rose to become America’s most popular maker of off-roaders through a rich history that started way back in 1948. Along the way, they also introduced some luxury-oriented models, such as the Grand Wagoneer. Debuting in 1984 as a more plush and well-equipped variant of Jeep’s Wagoneer, the Grand Wagoneer that we have today is a fine example from 1991. Moreover, this 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer comes with just 74,410 miles on the clock. So grab yourself a slice of Jeep history while you can; it’s a vehicle that can even act as your daily driver if desired.
