Chevrolet 3100 Window 350 V8 1950
General description :
GORGEOUS 5 WINDOW, BUILT 350 V8, AUTO, COLD A/C, PS, PB W/4 WHL DISCS, IFS, NICE
Advanced Design Chevy trucks seem to be one of the hottest vintage pickups going because they combine an upright tough appearance with some of the sleek lines that make other GM products iconic in the '50s. So we're always excited to have a 1950 Chevrolet 3100 5-window truck like this one that perfectly blends old style with new amenities.
This truck is going for a shiny first impression. The Green Pearl paint has the kind of luster that comes from a modern clearcoat and less than 2,700 miles on the carful total build. It also helps that there was a great canvas to apply it. The super-straight sheetmetal highlights some of the best elements of the exterior, like the alligator hood, full-length step rails, and curvaceous fenders. But the paint is only the beginning. Rivaling it for shine are the mirror-like bumpers, complete trim, and the iconic five-slat grille that looks like an Art Deco skyscraper. And this one announces its custom work best with the large 22-inch American Racing alloys that expertly tuck into the lowered suspension. In fact, you can even see how the bed was customize to accommodate the new stance while still keeping its pickup appeal.
Inside there's still hints of old school charm left in this completely custom interior. The great green from the exterior returns. Now it's joined by a tasteful tan on the custom bucket seats, door panels, and center console with very handy cup holders. From behind the Grant GT steering wheel you get a great view of all the upgrades. You're going love looking at the large Jegs speedo and tach that fit in the pickup's original dual pod layout, and the SunPro auxiliary gauges just below it keep you informed with what's going on under the hood. Plus, your right hand will probably never leave the B&M sports shifter. But since this has a passenger seat, there is plenty to keep you both happy, such as the upgrade to an AM/FM/CD stereo with iPod hookup and the ice-cold R134a air conditioning.
This Chevy has been all about being show-ready thus far, so you'll be quite happy when you pop the hood. You might want to warn others to grab their sunglasses before looking at your engine bay. That's because not only is the inside painted the same metallic green, but also the 350 cubic-inch small-block looks bold with its shiny air topper and valve covers. And beyond the glamour is some serious performance substance. The V8 has been upgraded with a Proform 650 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Pro Comp aluminum intake, AFR aluminum heads, Proform ignition, and Hedman shorty headers. That last component also contributes to the rumble of the dual side pipes that exit just below your ears for maximum machismo. But more than just pure power, this is also a thoughtful build. For example, the Champion aluminum radiator with electric fan is there to keep this classic running cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping. On the road, features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes all keep this classic feeling as good as a modern machine.
This is the unique and thorough build that will allow others to see and hear you coming from a long way off. And once you get there, it has all the right details to continue drawing a crowd. Who says it's not easy being green? 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.
