Vehicle Description
With a custom street-machine attitude, upgraded V8 power, overdrive
transmission, and plenty of great details throughout, this 1953
Chevrolet 3100 is that kind of cool classic truck that's meant to
be driven.
The aqua blue on this truck is a great color to represent the
optimistic 1950s. But you can also instantly see that this cool
blue is more of a representation of how far this custom build has
come, too. It has a modern look with the color-matched bumper,
grille, running boards, and rear roll pan. And the lowered stance
on polished racing-style wheels adds both flair and attitude. But
even the updates still show off that vintage charm. For example,
the expertly deleted trim really shows off the smooth design of
these pickups. While the truck bed has been restored, you still get
real lumber (it's just a whole lot glossier now.)
Inside is nice custom comfort with gray tweed cloth on the bench
seat, door panels, and headliner. They all have Chevy bow tires
embossed in them. You'll slip into the driver's seat and begin to
notice your whole setup has been upgraded while still keeping
classic style. That's why you have a two-tone dual spoke steering
wheel, bright tilt column, and retro-style AutoMeter gauges. This
is made to be a comfortable cruiser, and you have an AM/FM/CD
stereo w/iPod hookup hidden away - so you get a vintage atmosphere
but modern tunes.
You're going to love lifting the hood at car shows. Within the
color-matched engine bay you have a tidy V8 with plenty of bright
components. This is a 350 cubic-inch crate motor that the consignor
states was installed in the last few months. It has all the right
performance upgrades like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, aluminum
intake, and a nice set of headers that feed the dual exhaust. Plus,
it's all supported by an aluminum radiator. And this was upgraded
to be a great all-around driver, that's why you have power steering
and a four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly
overdrive.
This is the distinct classic that was built to run strong, so you
know it has a broad appeal. Don't miss out on something so distinct
and cool. Call now!
