1950 CHEVROLET 3100 RESTO MOD PICKUP

6.0L, RAT ROD

UNSOLD – $50,000

Can you say “Sleeper?” This old rust bucket is far from a decrepit old junker. With a “seasoned” patina and some cowhide seat covers, she looks like an old farm truck. This was one that got away recently at Mecum Kissimmee. The asking price was $50,000 but received no bids.

Don’t let the looks fool you. With a 6.0 Vortec engine, she can go from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. The L96 is a heavy-duty workhorse engine. Variable valve timing helps the 6.0L (L96) optimize performance, efficiency and emissions. The 6.0L’s balance of performance and efficiency is great airflow throughout.
