Forget the sleek lines of a Porsche for a moment. Classic American trucks hold a special place in collector’s hearts, and a particular 1951 Chevrolet 3100 recently turned heads (and emptied wallets) at a Barrett-Jackson auction.
This isn’t your average farm truck. With a hefty price tag of $121,000, this Chevy has been transformed into a head turning masterpiece that blends vintage charm with modern muscle. Combining iconic design with impressive performance and luxurious comfort, this pickup is a rare gem for any collector.
While the builder remains a mystery, the truck’s features speak for themselves. This stunning 1951 Chevrolet 3100 is a head turner, boasting a meticulously restored body with a modern twist. The original sheet metal gleams in a smooth gray finish, free of imperfections.
The cabin offers a luxurious upgrade with five windows, a lowered roof for a sleeker profile, and plush red leather on the seats, dashboard, and door panels. A custom built bed with a stylish tailgate adds functionality, while LED lighting illuminates the path ahead.
Corvette inspired power door handles add a touch of class, and the truck rides on a Roadster Shop chassis with one of a kind Schott wheels. Hidden behind those wheels lies serious power: an LS3 engine with over 525 horsepower, paired with a smooth shifting four speed automatic.
Modern amenities abound inside, with power adjustable seats, a digital gauge cluster, climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, and a push button start.
This impressive Chevy may have found a new home, but its unique blend of classic looks and modern muscle ensures it won’t be forgotten. We’ll be watching closely to see if it surfaces again, and for what price.
