SUMMARY

Very well presented with a freshly rebuilt 5.1-litre Chevvy V8 and ready for the show field, this looks like fun with a capital 'F'.

DESCRIPTION

  • The Chevrolet Model 3100 is a half-ton pickup truck, part of the 'Advance Design' series produced by Chevrolet from 1947 to 1955
  • It was a significant departure from the boxy, utilitarian trucks of the past, introducing a more streamlined and rounded design
  • Assembled in Kansas City, Missouri in 1953, this vehicle is believed to have spent much of its time in California before being exported to the UK in c.1999/2000
  • Full professional, body-off, photo-documented, restoration following a minor Cat-D qualifying collision
  • Purchased from us (then Silverstone Auctions) in 2014 and part of our vendor's Collection since
  • Subject to substantial investment over recent years including the V8 rebuilt and bored out to 5.1-litres (£10,000), rebuilt 3-speed auto gearbox/column change, new stainless steel exhaust side pipes, new petrol tank and pump and new wheels and tyres
  • Kept in heated dehumidified storage and serviced (recently) and maintained by our knowledgeable vendor and his mechanic 
  • Lightly used and kept for shows and special days covering less than 2,000 miles since 2014
