BODY OVERVIEW:

This '53 Chevrolet retains its iconic, timeless advanced-design silhouette but has been heavily sectioned, smoothed, and customized by true master craftsmen. Virtually every panel has been artfully modified. It features a custom-fabricated forward-tilt hood, suicide doors with shaved handles, a smoothed firewall, and beautifully frenched lighting. The rear features a highly customized aero-inspired bed with a raised floor and a solid, custom-built flush tonneau cover with an integrated spoiler. The truck features a sleek, monochromatic "modern-street" theme with color-matched and blacked-out trim—though the classic design easily accommodates a transition back to a traditional chrome grille if the next owner desires. 



PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:

The truck is blanketed in a deep, show-stopping coat of Harley-Davidson Light Candy Cherry. The finish is nothing short of flawless, displaying an incredible metallic flake and a mirror-like reflection under showroom lighting. Because this is a fresh, high-tier build that has been kept in climate-controlled storage, paint imperfections are at an absolute minimum.



INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:

The interior is an exercise in custom luxury, seamlessly blending 21st-century comfort with vintage hot-rod style. The entire cabin is upholstered in premium black and cherry Cayman-grain material, extending from the modern bolstered bucket seats to the door panels, custom center console, and headliner. Nestled perfectly in the console is the intuitive Ridetech air suspension controller featuring three programmable ride-height presets. Modern comforts include a hidden Memphis Bluetooth audio system, clean modern A/C vents, a tilt steering column, and crisp, color-matched aftermarket instrumentation.

 

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:

Pop the custom forward-tilt hood, and you are greeted by an engine bay that looks like jewelry. The fuel-injected 383ci small block is dressed to the nines in polished and billet components, with heater lines cleanly hidden inside the shaved firewall. Performance hardware includes Sanderson ceramic-coated headers, a Kooks dual exhaust system, an aluminum Edelbrock intake, and full MSD ignition. Thanks to the 700R4 overdrive transmission, Wilwood power brakes, power steering, and a modern tubular suspension geometry, this 3100 handles, stops, and cruises at 75 mph with the effortless comfort of a modern sports truck.
