"Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1957 Chevrolet 3100. Just last year this truck was treated to $92K in restoration work (we have the receipts) and it has only been driven 200 miles since! The restoration results in a great-looking 68-year-old truck that offers modern handling & ride quality, power to cruise down the highway in the fast lane, amenities like cold A/C & a comfortable interior, a modern braking system, and even electronic fuel injection. The list of upgrades and improvements to this truck is staggering, to say the least. Let's dive a little deeper into this spectacular '57 Chevy...
This 3100 comes to us dressed in good driver-quality Grey paint that looks great at five feet, but a closer inspection reveals some small imperfections. Up front is the iconic 1-year-only large, open, gleaming chrome grille that makes these '57s stand out in a crowd. Above the grille on the leading edge of the hood is a chrome badge with a black ""bowtie"" at the center. The grille is new and sports a mirror-finish but the hood badge appears original and is showing some light pitting. Flanking the grille are single-round headlights in bright bezels and domed turn signal indicators with bright trim rings. A chrome bumper hovers beneath to complete the cool look. The view from the side of the truck is just as awesome as the front end. Both fenders wear chrome ""Chevrolet 3100"" spear-style badges in good condition and bright touches like dual chrome side mirrors, chrome door handles, and vent window trim really pop against the grey paint. Both the wrap-around windshield and the rear window feature brand-new black seals. The original gas fill still resides on the rear corner of the driver's side of the cab, but it is just for looks as the gas tank has been relocated to under the bed and the fill is now on the bed floor. The wheel and tire treatment couldn't be more perfect � 20"" black painted steel smoothie wheels accented with beauty rings and cool center caps all wrapped in NittoNT555 G2 tires. The step-side bed boasts a new oak wood floor with stainless steel strips that look fantastic. The tailgate has ""CHEVROLET"" lettering across the rear and it has hook & chain closures. Beneath the gate is another chrome bumper with chrome exhaust tips poking out from underneath.
Take a peek underneath this truck and feel your heartbeat quicken! This 3100 is sitting on a brand new custom Heidts chassis that cost almost $17K! The excitement doesn't end there though � you'll also find a new EFI under-bed fuel tank with an in-tank fuel pump module added. The rear end is now set up with a 4-link suspension including a Panhard kit and coil-over shocks while the front end features new control arms and a set of coil-overs. New brake lines lead to a fresh set of 4-wheel disc brakes and a new rear parking brake kit has also been installed. The undercarriage is so impeccably clean that you'll want to take some mirrors with you to the car shows so that you can show it off!
Lift the hood to reveal a clean, organized, and impressive engine bay. Black side panels and a grey firewall surround a new Chevrolet 350ci V-8 that is topped off with aluminum valve covers, a Weiand Street Warrior intake manifold, a Holley Sniper fuel injection system, and a Billet Specialties chrome air cleaner. Ahead of the V-8 is a new SBC front-runner system ($2,800!) that includes power steering and a compressor for the Vintage Air system with 134A refrigerant. Keeping things running cool is a new Griffin aluminum radiator with an electric fan and a transmission cooler as well. Exhaust travels through Sanderson headers, new pipes, and new mufflers to exit the rear with a rumble that will surely put a smile on your face. The V-8 is mated up to a new 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with a 30-spline 2000 stall convertor and a Ford 9"" positraction rear axle. This drivetrain combo offers modern power, reliability, and the ability to excel in any driving situation.
Inside the cab, you'll find an attractive and comfortable interior that welcomes you inside. The doors are simplistic � just grey painted steel with a tan armrest, door handle, and window crank. An in-cab step leads you up to the simply beautiful tan distressed leather-look TMI bench seat ($4,517!). The seat features a flip-down armrest and a lift-up hidden storage caddy as well as new seatbelts. Tan elements continue with the headliner and visors for a cohesive look. The driver is treated to a chrome-plated billet aluminum half-wrap steering wheel mounted on a new Ididit tilt steering column. The steering wheel frames a new Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster that combines vintage style with modern accuracy and reliability. There are gauges for temp, volts, oil, and fuel as well as a tachometer and 120mph speedometer. Beneath the speedometer is a digital screen that offers digital read-outs for all of the gauges and extras like 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times, and high speed. The digital screen controller is attached to the air vent on the driver's lower left side. The odometer reads just 201 miles since its installation. The grey-painted dash is predictably spartan � offering knobs for the lights and wipers (new electric wiper motor conversion kit), an ashtray & lighter, a radio-delete panel with bowtie logo, and controls for the Vintage Air system that cranks out cold A/C and hot heat with a strong fan on demand. Ahead of the passenger is a glovebox that contains only the digital controller for the Holley Sniper EFI system. Under the dash, there are 4 vents attached to the Vintage Air system. The floors are outfitted with new black carpet in excellent condition. Rising up from the center of the floor is a Lokar shifter with correct variations for the 4-speed overdrive transmission.
If you're looking for a truck that combines cool vintage looks with modern mechanicals and conveniences then you'll want to take a serious look at this '57 Chevy 3100! It's got a brand-new chassis, suspension, engine, transmission, exhaust, EFI system, Vintage Air, digital gauges, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and an attractive and comfortable interior. You could hop in this truck, turn the key, and hit the road to literally anywhere! Trucks like this don't last very long here at Cruisin Classics so give our friendly staff a call today and make it your own!

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.

Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
