Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 1st Series Pickup is one of the coolest
ways to represent the final year of the legendary Advanced Design
pickups. It mixes classic style with the right modern touches -
including a powerful small block V8, overdrive transmission, custom
interior, and plenty of other upgrades to make it the perfect
anytime vintage pickup.
Chevy was giving its now-legendary (and extremely highly sought
after) Advance Design pickup its final send off in 1955. This body
style was only in production for part of '55 before GM fully
switched to the new Apache design. That gives this one rarity,
distinction, and desirability that truck people know. Of course,
the attractiveness is only heightened on a pickup that looks as
good as this. Finished in a nice two-tone green and black, this has
a great period-correct hue, but there is the unmistakable shine of
a more modern respray. And speaking of modern shine, the large
18-inch ARE torque thrust-style wheels add boldness to the profile.
But beyond the shiny elements and rarity, there is the desirability
that comes from a vintage pickup that has crisp sheetmetal and all
the right signs of careful ownership over the years.
Inside is a nice blend of vintage and new worlds. For example,
you'll slip behind the grippy Grant GT steering wheel mounted on a
tilt column, and beyond that is the classic factory-style gauge
package. The exterior green returns on the metal pieces, and that's
combined with tasteful tan inserts. And as you take a closer look,
you'll see the ostrich texture on the door panels, seat, and
headliner that really gives this pickup added distinction. Plus,
comfort is a priority with cloth inserts on the bench seat, an
AM/FM radio, and R134a air conditioning. And how many vintage
Chevys do you see that now have power windows?
Lift the hood to see a healthy upgrade in power. This vintage 3100
is now running a 350 cubic-inch small block. This V8 has been
enhanced with a four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and long
tube headers that add power as they feed the rumbling dual exhaust.
And there's much more to this Chevy than just power. It was given a
full tune-up in 2016 and new shocks in 2017. And as you look at the
undercarriage, you'll immediately spot the upgraded independent
front suspension with thick sway bar and disc brakes. Plus, this
upgraded pickup has power steering and a four-speed automatic
transmission w/overdrive. Starting to get the full picture? This
vintage Chevy has the potential to a great daily driver, so just
imagine passing commuters in this!
Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, this is the
rare vintage truck that can cruise comfortably near or far. It's
the total package, and it's turn-key ready right now. Don't miss
out, call today!!!
