For Sale: 1951 Chevrolet 3100 in Mesa, Arizona

Vintage style meets the right upgrades to deliver a V8-powered 1951 Chevrolet 3100 that has classic charm with plenty of driving appeal.


The yellow paint looks right on a truck like this. It's a pastel-like hue that has the same optimism as the post-war 1950s. And this Chevy likes to deliver that classic feeling. It hasn't been lowered or streamlined. Instead, you get all the cool vintage pieces like the alligator hood and curvy fenders. Any exterior upgrades you may notice are slight and purposeful. For example, the 15-inch wheels allow for better modern tires, and the full polished smoothie look doesn't look out of place for the era. In fact, it seems to do a nice job of complementing the chrome bumpers and iconic five-bar grille.


Inside the upgrades are a little more obvious, but you never lose that vintage charm. It starts with the bench seat. The brown vinyl is that same that's used for the door panels, and the piping coordinates with the dash. So you get a thoughtful look on this total package. There are more nice additions like a tilt steering column, cruise control, provisions for R134a air conditioning, and even a pop-up sunroof. So this is a nice place to spend some time.


Under the hood is an upgrade to small block power. This 327 cubic-inch V8 has nice power additions like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock aluminum intake. Plus, you have the right supporting components for a strong running motor, like an HEI ignition, electric choke, and an aluminum radiator. The V8 makes a sweet sound out of the glasspack dual exhaust. And it's easy to enjoy it all with features like power steering and a three-speed automatic transmission.


This Chevy 3100 is a truck that respects its heritage while still being nice to enjoy today. Don't miss this total package pickup. Call today!!!
