Vehicle Description

HIGHLIGHTS: Instant Value: Professionally appraised at $134,000 - offered at a major market discount Elite Craftsmanship: Full frame-off rotisserie restomod completed in 2023 with over 300 build photos Dyno-Proven Muscle: 383ci Stroker V8 pumping out a certified 462 horsepower with Brodix aluminum heads. Pro-Touring Chassis: Custom powder-coated frame by Hardcore Chassis with independent front suspension and rack &pinion steering. Stance on Demand: Full front and rear programmable Airbag suspension with a digital Ridetech controller. Premium Drivetrain: 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission paired with a Ford 9-inch rear end (3.89 gears + locker). Modern Luxury: Holley Sniper EFI, Wilwood power disc brakes, and ice-cold Air Conditioning. Road-Tested & Sorted: Over 1,500 miles logged since completion; this is a turnkey driver, not a fragile trailer queen. BODY OVERVIEW: This '53 Chevrolet retains its iconic, timeless advanced-design silhouette but has been heavily sectioned, smoothed, and customized by true master craftsmen. Virtually every panel has been artfully modified. It features a custom-fabricated forward-tilt hood, suicide doors with shaved handles, a smoothed firewall, and beautifully frenched lighting. The rear features a highly customized aero-inspired bed with a raised floor and a solid, custom-built flush tonneau cover with an integrated spoiler. The truck features a sleek, monochromatic ""modern-street"" theme with color-matched and blacked-out trim-though the classic design easily accommodates a transition back to a traditional chrome grille if the next owner desires. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The truck is blanketed in a deep, show-stopping coat of Harley-Davidson Light Candy Cherry. The finish is nothing short of flawless, displaying an incredible metallic flake and a mirror-like reflection under showroom lighting. Because this is a fresh, high-tier build that has been kept in climate-controlled storage, paint imperfections are at an absolute minimum. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior is an exercise in custom luxury, seamlessly blending 21st-century comfort with vintage hot-rod style. The entire cabin is upholstered in premium black and cherry Cayman-grain material, extending from the modern bolstered bucket seats to the door panels, custom center console, and headliner. Nestled perfectly in the console is the intuitive Ridetech air suspension controller featuring three programmable ride-height presets. Modern comforts include a hidden Memphis Bluetooth audio system, clean modern A/C vents, a tilt steering column, and crisp, color-matched aftermarket instrumentation. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Pop the custom forward-tilt hood, and you are greeted by an engine bay that looks like jewelry. The fuel-injected 383ci small block is dressed to the nines in polished and billet components, with heater lines cleanly hidden inside the shaved firewall. Performance hardware includes Sanderson ceramic-coated headers, a Kooks dual exhaust system, an aluminum Edelbrock intake, and full MSD ignition. Thanks to the 700R4 overdrive transmission, Wilwood power brakes, power steering, and a modern tubular suspension geometry, this 3100 handles, stops, and cruises at 75 mph with the effortless comfort of a modern sports truck. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The $24,000 Discount: Buy a fully finished, award-winning truck today for significantly less than its certified appraised value. Built for the Blacktop: With 1,500 proven miles on the clock, all the ""new build bugs"" have been ironed out. You can drive this truck to the show with total confidence Unbelievable Engineering: From the Hardcore Chassis to the suicide doors and tilt hood, the fabrication work is of the highest order. WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: The Spotlight Effect: It is physically impossible to buy gas or park this truck without a crowd forming to take pictures. Monochromatic Styling: The custom blacked-out grille gives it a sleek, aggressive hot-rod look although traditionalists can easily bolt on a chrome assembly later if they prefer a classic look. DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? Nothing. It is completely sorted, turn-key, and ready to sweep trophies at your next major regional car show or handle a long-distance weekend cruise. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This truck is for the discerning collector or enthusiast who wants an absolute pinnacle-tier restomod without waiting three years for a custom shop to build it. If you want six-figure build quality, dyno-proven muscle, modern fuel-injected reliability, and a truck that can actually be driven and enjoyed on the street, this 3100 is your masterpiece.
