Vehicle Description
1952 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window Restomod has an awesome
color-coordinated look, fuel-injected V8 heart, and a full custom
A/C interior. But those are just the headlines. As you dig into all
the details, you're going to discover one of the most thoughtful
and meticulous builds around. In fact, don't forget to check out
the custom trailer, too.
We have $21k in receipts for the paint alone, which is more than
some people spend on their entire restoration. But that kind of
investment pays off, because this has the kind of pristine gloss
and depth that instantly sets it apart. They expertly shaved much
of the trim on this pickup, and so the light rolls evenly and
uninterruptedly across the super-straight body panels. This modern
look of quality nicely molds with the overall vintage look. After
all, this still delivers the best in classic elements, like the
iconic five-piece chrome grille, real wood-truck bed, and desirable
five-window cab. Not only do we absolutely love the two-piece wheel
trim and whitewall tires, but also pay attention to the tasteful
blue steelie wheels (they're part of what makes this truck so
thoughtfully coordinated.) While other classics will make you take
a second vehicle if you want to spend all day at the car show, this
one not only has a solution, but it will probably help you win
awards, too. The sale comes with a custom vintage Coca-Cola cooler
turned into a color-matched trailer. There's even a stainless steel
grill with custom mount, so you get to bring the party with you
everywhere.
The touch of blue on the wheels get you ready for the full blue
custom interior. This still keeps a hint of the classic style with
a bench seat, but now it's finished in supple leather and suede.
Plus, the contoured bolstering and removable armrest cup holder
console deliver a bucket-like level of comfort whenever you want.
The dash still retains a classic look it now houses upgrades like
R134a air conditioning and a flip open AM/FM/CD/XM radio with GPS
and Bluetooth. Plus, there are more desirable features, like power
windows, a tilt steering column, and full armrest custom door
panels. And the sporty wood-rimmed steering wheel and full Classic
Instruments gauge package lets you know you'll love what's in the
engine bay, too.
You're going to be showing this one off to plenty of people, and so
you're also going to love lifting the hood. After all, not only
does it look award-worthy with the tidy white and plenty of polish,
but also few will be expecting a modern V8 powerplant. The
5.7-liter LS1 V8 is a great way to get fuel-injected muscle while
remaining faithful to bow tie power. To get the most out of this
modern V8, a modern 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission with
highway-friendly overdrive was added. Plus, you get great anytime
driving features like rack & pinion power steering, front disc
brakes, and a modern tread on those classic whitewalls. And
everywhere you arrive, you'll love putting a mirror under this
custom. The frame has that same cool blue color, and it looks bold
against the white painted body (see, we told you this was a
thoughtful build!) And you'll also notice more great pieces, like
the tubular A-arm front suspension w/adjustable coilovers, a Ford
9-inch rear, and traction bars.
The sale comes complete with books documenting this custom's
creation, including build receipts, service manuals, and
restoration photos. This is the kind of amazing build that would
take you a decade to do yourself. So this is the rare opportunity
to skip right to the fun of owning and showing. But you can only do
that tomorrow if you call today!
