Chevrolet 3100 496 V8 1954

General description : INCREDIBLE SUPER TRUCK, BLOWN 496 V8, 4L80E, 4-LINK, COILOVERS, WILWOOD DISCS!!

A fully-built performance restomod with a screaming 496ci supercharged V8 is not supposed to be so affordable. But while you think you're looking at all muscle and no brains, think again. It's a total build takes a 1954 Chevrolet 3100 and gives it all the right reinforcements and modern features to make this classic a very mean machine that knows how to handle its supercar-level power.
Plenty of these trucks are still available for work duty... but this is not one of them. You're looking at the classic Chevy Advance Design pickup body that has been given a truly advanced makeover. This starts with the concrete-colored paint. It makes this truck look tough as granite, and the clearcoat shine makes it look like polished marble. Add to that plenty of brightwork on the bumpers, grille, handles, and side mirrors. We could consider this just a great modern look on a vintage pickup, but this one's appearance says so much more. The huge 20-inch XXR wheels on a lowered suspension give off plenty of aggression. And when you peek in the bed, the reinforced structure where the floor should be looks more like it's from a racecar than a hay-hauler.
Inside is more race-bred inspiration. It starts with the Summit Street/Strip modern competition bucket seats. These sit nicely in the reinforced cab to instantly set the tone for the whole interior. You slip behind a Momo steering wheel with suede-style grip. Beyond that is a full set of AutoMeter gauges, including the very important tach. The center carries even more competition equipment – from the start button, to the battery shut-off, to the ratchet-style gearstick.
All these serious components will lead you to a monster under the hood. It's a 496 cubic-inch V8. And while a big block stroker motor is usually enough displacement for most folks, this one was also given a 4-71 Weiand Roots supercharger. And the go-fast upgrades don't end there. This one has been specially built with forged pistons, steel crank, Comp Cams Big Mutha Thumper camshaft, Iron Mercruiser heads w/roller rockers, Holley 950 CFM four-barrel carburetor, MSD distributor, and Patriot Clipster headers. You better believe it's a mean machine like this makes a thunderous roar out of the dual exhaust. But more than just sound fearsome, this one knows how to get its power to the road thanks to a strong 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission. This feeds the 12-bolt rear with 4.11 gears for power takeoffs. And this is a total package build. So it comes on a modified S-10 frame with Spohn A-arms with 2" lowered springs and spindles. Plus, the rear has QA1 coilovers and a triangulated four-link suspension. You even have upgraded Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes and the best in modern grippy sports tires.
Complete with maintenance records and restoration photos, you know the labor alone would cost more than this screaming restomod. So don't delay too long or one of the best deals on speedy wheels might be gone forever. 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.
