FINAL YEAR ADVANCED DESIGN 3100, 350 V8, 700R4, R134 AC, PS, PB W/DISC, P WINDOW
1955 Chevrolet 3100
This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 1st Series Pickup is one of the coolest ways to represent the final year of the legendary Advanced Design pickups. It mixes classic style with the right modern touches including a powerful small block V8, overdrive transmission, custom interior, and plenty of other upgrades to make it the perfect anytime vintage pickup.
Chevy was giving its now-legendary (and extremely highly sought after) Advance Design pickup its final send off in 1955. This body style was only in production for part of '55 before GM fully switched to the new Apache design. That gives this one rarity, distinction, and desirability that truck people know. Of course, the attractiveness is only heightened on a pickup that looks as good as this. Finished in a nice two-tone green and black, this has a great period-correct hue, but there is the unmistakable shine of a more modern respray. And speaking of modern shine, the large 18-inch ARE torque thrust-style wheels add boldness to the profile. But beyond the shiny elements and rarity, there is the desirability that comes from a vintage pickup that has crisp sheetmetal and all the right signs of careful ownership over the years.
Inside is a nice blend of vintage and new worlds. For example, you'll slip behind the grippy Grant GT steering wheel mounted on a tilt column, and beyond that is the classic factory-style gauge package. The exterior green returns on the metal pieces, and that's combined with tasteful tan inserts. And as you take a closer look, you'll see the ostrich texture on the door panels, seat, and headliner that really gives this pickup added distinction. Plus, comfort is a priority with cloth inserts on the bench seat, an AM/FM radio, and R134a air conditioning. And how many vintage Chevys do you see that now have power windows?
Lift the hood to see a healthy upgrade in power. This vintage 3100 is now running a 350 cubic-inch small block. This V8 has been enhanced with a four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and long tube headers that add power as they feed the rumbling dual exhaust. And there's much more to this Chevy than just power. It was given a full tune-up in 2016 and new shocks in 2017. And as you look at the undercarriage, you'll immediately spot the upgraded independent front suspension with thick sway bar and disc brakes. Plus, this upgraded pickup has power steering and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. Starting to get the full picture? This vintage Chevy has the potential to a great daily driver, so just imagine passing commuters in this!
Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, this is the rare vintage truck that can cruise comfortably near or far. It's the total package, and it's turn-key ready right now. Don't miss out, call today!!!
