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.
Chevy trucks have been moving and shaking American small and medium business owners for nigh on a century. Their excellent legacy includes the current Silverado, which itself was born from the C/K Series. Before that came the Task Force, Advance Design, etc. Hence, a classic Chevy truck is not only a great vehicle to own and drive, but a hat tip towards American automotive excellence. So, we’re proud to present this 1957 Chevrolet 3100 for your consideration. Born in the Task Force Era of 1955-1959, this truck has got many modern features under its skin, including a powerful engine to thrill you on every drive.
Chevy’s Advance Design series of pickup trucks entered the market in 1947, taking over from the venerable AK Series, which had served during World War II. The Advance Design was a major redesign exercise, and nearly everything about these trucks was new; after all, America had emerged from the War, and a new era of enterprise and promise had begun. The Advance Design would thus form the basis of commercial transportation for many small and medium-sized businesses. The Advance Design came in ½, ¾ and 1-tonne capacities, as well as Loadmaster and Thriftmaster configurations. This particular 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod started life as a half-ton truck, and it still remains a half-ton truck. Well, except that it’s received a thorough makeover inside and out, making it something truly distinctive to own and drive.
Chevy’s Task Force series of pickup trucks debuted in 1955, and is the predecessor of the C/K series, which subsequently morphed into the Silverado. Hence, this 1959 Chevrolet 3100 is a forefather of today’s Chevy Silverado full-size pickup trucks. Fresh off a comprehensive restoration, this example has just 15,000 miles since the build, and comes with all servicing up to date. Two keys are also included with the sale of this stunner, making it an excellent restomod to own, drive, and cherish.
With its sleek styling and relatively modern features, the C5 or fifth-generation Corvette is a great place to start your Corvette journey. It’s a definite future classic, but isn’t too old that you’ve got to baby it. Produced between 1997 and 2005, the C5 also marked the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps. That, plus many other reasons, mean that this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a great contender for that extra spot in your car collection. This reportedly all-original car has done 32,000 miles, which is lighter than average. So, it’s in great condition as a result.
The Chevy Corvette is arguably the most well-known sports car in America. Now on its eighth iteration, the ‘Vette has morphed into a mid-engined supercar fighter. But let’s go down Corvette avenue for about three and a bit decades. Let’s step back into 1993, when the Corvette was celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Yes, The Corvette is also one of America’s longest-running automotive nameplates. Hence, in 1993, when the fourth-generation or C4 Corvette was in production, Chevy created the 40th Anniversary Corvette. Just 6,749 examples were sold, and here’s one for you to consider. This 1993 Chevrolet Corvette 40th Anniversary Edition may have traveled 115,000 miles in its lifetime, but it’s still a spry thing to behold.
American performance cars always seem to be underrated compared to their European counterparts. This 2013 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT with just under 50,000 miles on the odometer, puts all that mockery to sleep. It emphasizes exactly what American performance cars have done so well for so many years (70 years in the case of the Corvette): rear-wheel drive, manual transmission, and an absolutely massive V8 up front. They have stuck to that formula ever since and have made them better and better with each iteration.
You’ll easily find plenty of Chevrolet C/K-Series examples around in various conditions and forms. That’s because the C/K Series has been sold by the bucketload since its introduction for the 1960 model year. Since 2002, the model has been known as the Silverado and continues to sell by the bucketload. So, why should you pick this 1971 Chevrolet C10 from the rest? Well, for starters, it’s a fully restored, custom job with just 5,000 miles reported since then. It’s got some neat features and looks fantastic. Wherever you choose to take this truck, you’ll be met with turned heads, broad smiles, and friendly conversations. So why not inject some happiness and cheer into your life? Buy this truck, and your weekends will never be the same again.
The Ford Bronco was recently reborn to compete with the likes of the Jeep Wrangler. And it’s already a hit for the Blue Oval, with many users appreciating the reborn SUV for its old-school approach to off-road sensibilities. But the Bronco nameplate is one that originated decades ago, with a thriving aftermarket industry supporting the original line of 4x4s from Ford. That’s exactly what our featured 1977 Ford Bronco Restomod represents. It takes the original formula and builds upon it, bringing this truck into the modern age. As such, it has been completely rewired, has upgraded mod-cons, and features an all-new fiberglass tub. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, with a 302ci V8 Boss Crate engine providing phenomenal power for this stunning restomodded SUV.
Few SUVs are as iconic as the original Ford Bronco. It was a revolutionary model for the Blue Oval, combining car-like comfort with off-road ability. As with any well-known nameplate, there’s a thriving aftermarket community that seeks to support, improve, and individualize each example. Our featured 1970 Ford Bronco is an excellent specimen that has been lovingly restored with plenty of new and rebuilt parts, including a rebuilt Windsor 351ci V8 engine and automatic transmission. Packed with personality, this old-school off-roader reportedly has just 12,650 miles on its recently refreshed drivetrain.
