For Sale: 1953 Chevrolet 3100 in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Such a great-looking classic pickup! This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 is dressed in Hotrod Black paint that suits it perfectly, along with a minimalist assortment of chrome brightwork that's in top form. Its chopped cabin and aggressively lowered stance give it a standout appearance and a set of clean 15" steel wheels with painted centers adds a nice finishing touch to the exterior. Come around to the back and you'll notice how well the painted red wood on the bed floor pairs with the black diamond-plated toolbox also in place. While you're looking in back, check out this 3100's custom tailgate, featuring Chevy's signature bowtie, with a sharp, 3D effect.

Inside, the gray cloth upholstery still has plenty of life left in it. The bench seat shows no rips or tears and there's a flip-up console at its center to accommodate a third passenger when needed. Both the door panels and the carpeting are in solid condition, and as you direct your attention to the dash area, you'll find a set of Classic Instruments gauges on board in the instrument cluster, as well as an AM/FM/CD stereo with an auxiliary port to provide plenty of audio choices during your journeys. A set of under-dash air conditioning controls was recently installed and all the components for a complete system are on board. Since that system is blowing strong, but isn't cooling things down inside the cabin, a simple freon charge is all that's likely needed to remedy the situation.

This vintage Chevy offers a driving experience on par with its great looks. Powered by a 350-cubic-inch V8 that has been outfitted with a four- barrel Edelbrock carburetor perched on a polished aluminum intake manifold, it starts right up, holds a smooth idle and accelerates nicely, tracking arrow straight in the process. The accompanying 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission shifts through its gears with slip-free precision. New red valve covers, a red air filter and a serpentine belt drive system dress things up under the hood, and the rest of the compartment is well-sorted, with fresh hoses and belts and properly routed wiring in plain sight. The engine exhales into a dual exhaust that terminates in a pair of Flowmaster mufflers, adding a properly rowdy note when you step on the accelerator. When it comes time to bring things to a stop, power brakes that include discs up front, get it done with no problem.
