BODY OVERVIEW:
This ’53 Chevy keeps the timeless 3100 lines but sits lower, meaner, and cleaner. The body is straight and well-aligned with tight panel gaps, and the smoothed firewall adds to the clean, high-end custom appearance. Details like the beautifully done custom tilt hood, highly customized aero-inspired bed, and custom-built solid bed cover make it clear this is no backyard build—this is a high-level restomod with real craftsmanship behind it. The Frenched lights are a nice, classic touch and the suicide doors with shaved handles were certainly no easy feat. With the subtle, sweeping body lines and integrated bed cover spoiler, this 3100 looks like it’s moving even when parked! When we say custom, we mean custom–between the fully custom bed, customized front fenders, custom tailgate, raised bed floor, and everything else above, there is scarcely a panel on this truck that hasn’t been modified in one way or another! The build quality on this vehicle speaks for itself, and the pictures truly do not do it justice. 

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The Harley-Davidson Light Candy Cherry finish is nothing short of classy. It’s glossy, deep, and professionally finished, showing extremely well with minimal wear from use. It pops in sunlight and isn’t overwhelmingly bright, but it is sure to draw a crowd just about anywhere. Being a fairly fresh build, imperfections are at an extreme minimum.

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Inside, it’s all custom luxury that matches the tasteful custom exterior. The custom black & cherry Cayman upholstery covers the seats, door panels, headliner, and even the steering wheel. Tunes are courtesy of a Memphis hidden Bluetooth stereo, with nothing visible but the controller. The central focus of the console is the Ridetech air suspension controller, which is very intuitive and has 3 presets for different ride heights. The modern seats add comfort, while the tasteful aftermarket gauges, tilt column, and custom center console elevate the driving experience. No rips, no scuffs—just clean, high-quality craftsmanship throughout. But the best part? All of this has been done in a very tasteful manner that pays tribute to the original design of the truck, but brings it into the 21st century as well! Modern vents look right at home in the dash, and at a quick glance even the modern gauges may go unnoticed. Everything inside this truck is very intentional, just like the exterior, and it is clear that it was designed and assembled by a true craftsman with an eye for detail.
 
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Pop the hood and it’s clear this build was done right. The fuel-injected 383 V8 delivers classic muscle with a modern twist, while Sanderson ceramic coated headers and Kooks mufflers deliver a simply delightful sound. With polished and billet items everywhere, there is simply nowhere ugly to look under the hood of this truck! Notice the way the heater lines are run into the shaved firewall for a cleaner appearance. Everything about this truck is thoughtful and intentional! Other features include an aluminum radiator, electric fan, braided hoses w/ anodized fittings, serpentine belt, K&N air cleaner, aluminum Edelbrock intake, K&N valve cover breathers, custom motor mounts, and an MSD ignition coil and wires. Even the driveshaft is custom! The builder of this truck wasn’t in the business of installing cheap parts! 
The 700R4 overdrive transmission and Ford 9” rear make this a highway cruiser or stoplight warrior—your choice. Power steering, power disc brakes w/ Wilwood calipers, A/C, and Ridetech air suspension make this puppy one comfortable ride. With tubular A-arms in the front, and adjustable air suspension all the way around,  this 3100 handles like other 3100s can only dream of!
 
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
Killer combination of vintage style and modern performance
Show-quality build that’s actually road-tested
Chevy V8 power with all the supporting upgrades to back it up
Every detail, from the motor mounts to the tonneau cover, was carefully thought out and beautifully executed!
Turns heads, drops jaws, and wins trophies!

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
If you’re afraid of attention, this truck isn’t for you
It’s so nice, it’s almost scary to drive it!
The mixture of high-level custom and modern “go-fast” components means this isn’t a plug-and-play car for shade-tree tinkerers

DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
Nope—it’s turn-key and ready to drive. If you want a showstopper you can enjoy on the road, it’s already there!

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
Perfect for the enthusiast who wants a true restomod—not just a classic with an engine swap. This is for someone who wants show-quality style, modern reliability, and the performance to match. Whether you're headed to cruise night, a car show, or a roadtrip, this 3100 is ready to go—and ready to look incredible doing it.
