Post World War II, America and the rest of the world were gearing up for a booming economy. Automakers were excited; the powers at the helm had pledged no more war, and things looked bright. Chevrolet released their aptly-named Advance Design series of light and medium-duty trucks in 1947. The Chevrolet 3100 marked the entry point as a half-ton truck, and it was greatly received by an eager public. As time passed, some examples fell to ruin, some were lovingly maintained and restored, and others became platforms for great restomods. This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod comes from that third category, and you won't believe what it's packing under the hood until you see and experience it for yourself.
On the outside, this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod doesn't deviate too much from its late-Forties design, save for an eye-catching bright red paintwork. It still retains its chrome bumpers, period headlamps, the requisite badging, and a chrome grille. It's a similar story at the rear, where the taillamps haven't been chucked out in favor of more modern LED units. The cargo bed is all wooden for that old-school feel. However, the truck as a whole sits lower than it would have, and you'll also notice newer aluminum alloy wheels are present. The rear wheels, in particular, are much meatier than would have come in 1950. These are the first hints that something is stirring underneath the hood. Entering the cabin of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod will grant you more clues to its restomod status. Instead of the period bench seat, you'll find two Ford Ranger seats to sit upon. The current owner reports that the red and black interior was completely redone, and we can also find some new white-faced gauges ahead of the driver. The steering wheel and steering column also appear to be from a more contemporary Chevy.
Now, let's meet the beast under the hood of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod. The 350ci V8 residing within is said to have been built by Legget and GT Racing, and reportedly kicks out 800hp. A 400 Turbo automatic transmission sends it to the rear wheels, while control is enhanced by power steering and power brakes.
Nowadays, pickup trucks are recognized as go-anywhere, do-anything tools with the toys to match. In addition to offering the utility that is lent to them thanks to their versatile body style, they now support the same creature comforts as some of the most luxurious high-end cars while offering the power and style to match. But, in post-war America, the humble pickup was favored for its versatility, practicality, and reliability. However, even though style may have taken a backseat in the minds of the consumer, there’s no denying the classic charm of this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. Our featured truck is reported to be mostly original but has been subject to routine and preventative maintenance. It also features a new 216ci inline six-cylinder engine.
Pickup trucks are utilitarian beasts designed to support busy professionals while offering the versatility and flexibility to haul any cargo unhindered by the constraints a normal car or SUV would have. But clearly, the designers at Chevrolet didn’t think pickups had to be boring machines lacking character. How can we be so sure? One look at this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 will give you all the evidence you need. The 1955 Chevrolet 3100 not only retains its original good looks and styling, but the build has focused on making this classic pickup as usable today as it would have been when new. As such, you’ll find a few modern appointments to keep this 3100 in line with the times.
This 1952 Chevrolet 3100 started life as a member of Chevy's Advance Design series of pickup trucks. Debuting in 1947, the Advance Design was the first major revamp of Chevy's pickup truck lineup since World War II. These sturdy trucks helped propel hardworking Americans into prosperity and became a fixture of agriculture and commerce across the country. Fast forward to the current era, and you'll find many who have survived and thrived, too. Some are now concourse-level restoration examples, some retain their original patina and await some TLC, while another segment has been turned into resto-mods. That's what this particular truck has become, with a rotisserie restoration, a new heart, some enhancements under the skin, and a few modern creature comforts for the cabin.

While there have been multiple generations of the Chevrolet Camaro, the 1969 model year is one of the most loved by many. The design is timeless and inspired the 2010 revival of the model with the fifth generation. The Camaro was made in response to the success of Ford’s hit, the Mustang. Although the Blue Oval had a headstart, the first-generation Camaro was able to fine-tune the formula, using a brand new F-Body platform and a range of straight-six and V8 engines. For the 1969 model year, the Camaro featured an all-new design, with an aggressive and angular front end, wider “coke-bottle” hips, and new doors. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a restomod with a new supercharged 376ci LSX V8 engine under the hood, as well as several upgrades. The owner reports that this Camaro has only 5,828 miles on it since the build was completed.
The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most well-known names in the history of American muscle cars. The sixth-generation Camaro that was launched in 2014 quickly became a favorite for many, as it continued the revival of the moniker that has been a prominent figurehead in the American sports car scene. Another name that made the rounds, most notably in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is that of Yenko. Don Yenko was originally a dealer of Chevrolet cars, and also raced in his free time. Yenko famously found a way to circumvent Chevy’s self-imposed restriction of offering a Camaro with anything larger than a 400ci engine. He swapped in a Corvette motor for his own creation, thus starting a long line of performance-oriented Yenko Camaros. Fast forward to today, and Specialty Vehicle Engineering continues to keep the legacy alive with its own take on a modern-day Yenko Camaro. Our featured car is a 2022 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko SC Stage 1, with a supercar-like output of 1050 HP.
The Chevrolet Corvette is an American hero; for years, the humble yet performance-oriented lineup of machines has brought performance and good looks, while boasting a rich brand history for American car buyers.

While Ford had the legendary Bronco, General Motors was backing their own iconic horse in the full-size SUV category of the ‘70s. It fielded their ever-popular Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models. By 1975, the Jimmy was into its second generation. Known as the “Rounded Line” or “Square Body” generation, these models were available in both two and four-wheel drive and were closely related to the Chevrolet C/K trucks. The classic styling of this generation of Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmys is loved by fans of old-school offroaders. It's where good looks, functionality, and off-road prowess all converge at one intersection. Our featured 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD has been lovingly upgraded for life in the 21st century, with many new parts and subtle improvements made along the way. It features a 350ci V8 engine with 65,000 miles on it.
The Land Rover Defender is a legendary piece of machinery; it was built on the battlefield and for many is still the best tool for getting a job done, be it a spot of farming or off-roading in style.
