A perfectly restored 1949, 3100 Series Chevrolet Pickup presented in its’ new and (8 – Year Restoration) – original like condition. This vehicle was acquired from a well-known classic car dealer in Missouri, who had negotiated to purchase this absolutely beautiful 1949 Chevrolet ½ ton Pickup that has had a complete 8-year – no expense spared, nut & bolt, frame off restoration, and was once listed for sale from the collection of classic automobiles owned by top-name and famous NHRA Top-Fuel race car driver, Joe Amato!
This ‘49 truck stands on its own, in presentation. It is believed that the current posted odometer mileage may be the original miles driven since 1949. With its stock-perfect appearance, its’ gorgeous Red paint and its’ perfect classic stance, this pickup is one of the best original equipped (numbers matching) restored 1949 Chevy 3100 trucks around. Very few trouble free miles have been added since finishing the restoration, but it is in perfect original running order and ready to hit the road. The body panels are straight & 100% rust-free from front to back (no fiberglass repairs). The Red paint is absolutely stunning and all of the chrome & trim is show quality throughout.
