You can sum up this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window pickup in just one word: vivid. Glowing Purple paint with hints of metallic and pearl inside, painted trim and bumpers, a comfortable leather and A/C interior, and a fresh 350 V8 crate motor under the hood give this hauler the right credentials to qualify for the slickest truck we've seen in a long time.
Getting attention has never been difficult for these trucks, but the brilliant Purple paint on this 5-Window will have folks stopping in their tracks. Finished less than 3k miles ago, it's still looks so fresh that you'll be tempted to touch it to see if that finish is still wet, and the shine from the deep layers of clearcoat on top almost make you avert your eyes under direct sunlight. The first half of 1955 was the last hurrah of the uber-popular Advance-Design pickups (aka known as the 1955 First Series), and they signaled the end of a design era that catapulted Chevrolet to the top of the American carmaker landscape. Although still a utilitarian pickup, GM knew the market wanted a more civilized machine, and the First Series trucks were the first step toward the complete overhaul resulting in the Task Force trucks that came along in the latter half of the year. As a result, customs like this look especially smooth, thanks to their curvaceous fenders, iconic grille, and long hood. This build obviously took some liberties with the original look, but they were mostly aesthetic, not structural, so there's no chopped roof, no shaved doors, and no deleted running boards. You do however get a minimal amount of trim, and almost all of the original bright stuff that was left behind was painted a slick gray color to match the grille and running boards. Out back, the rear bumper was swapped out for a Corvette-style, quad-light roll pan, and the tailgate above it was smoothed and painted to match. And inside that bed you'll find a custom floor, toolbox, and spare tire cover that work great with the rest of the build. Workmanship is quite good, with great fit and finish throughout, and with only 2,830 miles and very minor signs of use on the truck it's ready to last the test of time. Great prep gives the paint an ideal surface and even with that high-visibility paint, the details tend to stand out as the light plays over the truck's many intricate design elements. Man, this is great-looking rig!
Things get even better inside, where an elegant split-back leather bench seat takes the place of the original vinyl-covered unit this truck was likely born with. Soft black leather matches the original black door panels and black vinyl floor, and the fold-down arm rest seems to make the cabin even more spacious. Other details include an aluminum tilt steering column and adjoining Grant GT steering wheel, making it easy to get comfortable in that replacement seat, and the original metal dash was painted the same dark gray found on the trimwork outside. A set of Classic Instruments gauges have a retro look and work well perfectly inside the chrome bezels that pay more than a passing resemblance to the original. Aftermarket A/C controls and vents were neatly installed under the dash to preserve its originality, and although there's no stereo in the cab, one could easily be added and stashed away inside the glove compartment. The headliner was finished off back to stock, and all the weather gaskets are newer, so the cabin seals up nicely to keep things quiet out on the road.
The engine is a powerful 350 cubic inch V8 crate motor that's been barely broken in since the build, and it performs beautifully in this truck with plenty of horsepower and torque on tap whenever needed. Additions include a performance intake manifold and a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor, long-tube headers, and, of course, the chromed and finned valve covers and open-element air cleaner up top. There's a big Be Cool aluminum radiator up front to keep things cool and the accessories are tucked in close to the block and spun by a serpentine belt setup. Backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear with cruiser-friendly gears inside, it's a superlative highway runner that's still punchy around town. Up front there's an independent suspension with tubular control arms, coilovers, and power rack-and-pinion steering, there's a set coilovers and 4-link out back, and with power 4-wheel disc brakes the truck stops on a dime. A custom H-pipe dual exhaust system with throaty Xlerator mufflers sounds suitably performance-oriented, and the entire undercarriage is very nicely presented. That lowered stance is just about perfect, with a lot of the credit going to the black Ridler wheels and fender-filling rubber around them.
Smooth, powerful, fast, and loaded with creature comforts, this is the truck you'll want for your next long-distance haul. Give us a call today!

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 9 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 0 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.
