Regular readers of the Streetside Classics website already know that a lot of handsome Advance Design pickups run through our showroom, but very, very few of them are as nice as this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Restomod. With incredible Candy Apple Red Metallic paint, a freshly built 5.7L LT1 V8 motor, and a lot of tricks up its sleeve, this might just the one you've been waiting to own.

We've said it many times before: if you're going to paint a classic vehicle a modern, vivid color, you need to invest the extra time to make the bodywork as nice as possible, because you're going to get A LOT of attention and scrutiny on your rig. Well, the guys who built this truck did exactly that, spending countless hours in the body shop sanding and smoothing the sheetmetal until it was laser straight and ready for paint. Then they sprayed several coats of the most brilliant Candy Apple Red Metallic paint you've ever seen, and spent another few late nights wet sanding and buffing it to bring up a brilliant shine. And my goodness is it nice. The other thing it is, is incredibly slick. No graphics, no flames, no distractions from the clean 3100 5-Window shape that looks flat-out awesome. All of the trim was restored or replaced as well (including the iconic horizontal grille and the 1-piece bumpers fore and aft), and the final result is a bright, dynamic contrast to the dark red paint that leaves all onlookers highly impressed. This one just looks right. The bed is beautifully restored with light oak wood and stainless slats, along with a cool built-in fuel filler that fits flush so it stays out of the way, relocated out from its dangerous factory location behind the seat. There's just nothing on this truck that wasn't finished to a very high level before being bolted back on a scant 37 miles since the truck was built.

It's also a very comfortable truck to spend some time in, thanks to a luxuriously finished yet elegantly simple interior. A comfortably padded, split-bench seat has been covered with high-end two-tone leather upholstery, and with matching door panels that follow the same pattern, it's easy to forget this is actually a vintage pickup truck. Plush tan carpet ties it together in a rather handsome way, and the brightly polished tilt steering column is fitted with a custom woodgrain banjo-style steering wheel that really punches up the '50s theme. Elegant digital/analog Vintage Classic gauges were installed in the painted dash and look period-perfect despite their modern capabilities, and the long-handled Lokar shifter that manages the 4L60E automatic transmission below has an old-school vibe that works extremely well. Tunes come via a retro-style AM/FM/AUX stereo installed in the center of the painted dash, and the entire cab stays nice and cool thanks to a neatly installed aftermarket A/C system that's blowing ice cold thanks to R134a refrigerant. Bottom line, if you're looking for a long-haul driver, this truck is definitely the right pick.

As you'd expect, this Chevy still carries Chevy power, by way of a freshly installed 5.7L LT1 V8 swapped in from a Corvette that produces an asphalt devouring amount of horsepower and great torque. With just 37 miles on the neatly installed engine, it runs superbly and looks fantastic inside the custom finished engine bay. It's very functional, with modern fuel-injection, HEI distributor and electronic ignition, a performance intake manifold flanked with Corvette valve covers, and a ton of polished and detailed parts to make it glitter inside the engine bay that itself was finished with a smoothed and painted firewall and inner fenders. The independent front suspension has been upgraded with modern components and with power front disc brakes and power steering you get a great ride every time out. A sturdy 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and a 10-bolt rear end filled with 3.55 gears round out the powertrain, leaving you with no worries about reliability and transforming it into an easy high-speed cruiser. And boy is it clean underneath, because when the truck was taken off the frame during the restoration, everything was sandblasted and the powder-coated black, so it can be shown off with pride. The soundtrack is killer too, with a stainless steel duals exhaust running through chambered mufflers that exits well before the rear axle. Finally, polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels put a modern spin on an old favorite and wear staggered 235/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear Cooper Cobra white-letter radials.

So yes, we sell a lot of these 3100s, but not many of them measure up to the standard set by this absolute gem. So, if you've been looking for a great vintage truck, your search is finally over. Call now!

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

Fees and Taxes

Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
