Chevrolet 3100 350 LT1 1955

General description : INCREDIBLE HIGH END BUILD, FI 350 V8, 700R4, R134a A/C, 4 WHL DISC, SHOW QUALITY

If you were to spare no expense building your dream custom vintage truck, it would turn out like this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 restomod pickup. With an amazing paintwork, a luxurious A/C interior, a show-worthy fuel-injected V8 under the hood, and so much more, you get the best of everything.
Just one look and you can see a lot of work has gone into this pickup. The burgundy is a deep rich color that could have been on the best '50s trucks, but the moment the sunlight hits it, you see the luster of a modern metallic hue and a professionally applied clearcoat. The bumpers, grille, badges, bezels, mirrors, and all other trim compete with the paint as they shine like new mirrors. There is even a bit of attitude added to this truck with a lowered stance on American Racing wheels. But even with these refreshed and upgraded items, the truck doesn't lose its original personality. This model series was the beginning of the stylistic wraparound windshields, and it's known for the extra flair in the fenders (especially the rear). The final touch is the real wood truck bed with the correct alternating width planks between bright metal strips.
Use the remote to reveal the custom interior. The tailored feel of this truck really is raised another notch just by stepping inside. The leather seats are Cadillac-grade, and they have alligator and snakeskin inserts to really set the tone for this truck's aggressive attitude. Even the door panels get the cool custom touch, too. This pickup comes loaded with power windows, AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo, tilt steering column, and R-134a air conditioning. Your left hand gets a chrome and leather custom steering wheel, and your right one grabs the B&M sports shifter located in the custom center console. But even with all the upgrades, this one still unmistakably feels very vintage. For example, the original fan-style gauge cluster is a great piece to keep because it has the same cool character that was being added to Chevy's iconic 1955 passenger cars. But now it has a full set of readouts to keep you in-tune with what's going in the engine bay.
The forward-tilting hood means you get an excellent view at the motor. And that's a good thing, because the V8 will attract enthusiasts and car show judges all on its own. It's obvious there was plenty invested here because all those shiny components radiate from the burgundy engine bay with a quality luster. There's so much here we bet you'll need sunglasses before peeking at it. And when you look beyond the shine, you'll be pleased to see a fuel-injected 350 cubic-inch motor. You're making plenty of power out of this V8, and the long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust let's everyone know it, too. But don't just think of this as a pure power machine. It has thoughtful features like an aluminum radiator, electric fan, and a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. Doesn't that sound like a truck that was built to cruise anytime and anywhere? If you were not already convinced of that, just look at the undercarriage photos. Not only will you see a thorough build with painted components, but also you'll spot great upgrades like the independent front suspension, thick sway bars front & rear, and four-wheel disc brakes.
With less than 2,000 miles on this total custom build you're getting a vintage vehicle that drives with the confidence of a new truck. So if you're quick enough to grab it, your dream machine can be a reality. Call today!!!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing.

No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.

When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.

Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.

To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.

With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
