We already agreed that flames on cars are anything but cool these days. No matter how much one spends to place them on hoods and doors, there’s no bringing back the allure this type of customization had some years back. Not even if you go for something called “color-shifting chameleon metallic paint" to wrap up portions of your pickup truck.
This is the expression used by the sellers of this truck to describe what’s happening at the front of the build. The hood of the 3100 is wrapped in these custom, color-changing flames, as is the front grille beneath which no bumper can be found. The unlikely-colored flames extend all the way to the bed, licking their way there over the doors, only to dissolve in the blackness sprayed on the rear end.
Now, the paint on the front end truly is chameleonic, as it goes from orange to purple and everything in between like nobody’s business; it would have looked great hadn’t it been shaped like in the symmetrical flames configuration.
Luckily, the 3100 build has other things going for it, like the suicide doors, fancy-looking all-black interior, and modern amenities such as CD player (outdated, we know), power windows, or air conditioning.
Don’t expect something spectacular to have made its way under the hood either, though it is something effective. We’re talking about a 350-ci (5.7-liter) engine with a triple set of dual-barrel carburetors linked to a three-speed automatic transmission.
There are other invisible upgrades made to this thing, including the fitting of independent front suspension, power steering, and power brakes discs up front.
Like many of its kind, the pickup truck is for sale, and the dealer in charge of finding a new owner for it is confident the paint and all other custom touches that went into the build are worth at least $44,995.
