WD-40 Selling Custom 1951 Chevrolet 3100

WD-40 is auctioning its classic 1951 Chevrolet 3100 to benefit SEMA Cares charities, including Childhelp, on BringaTrailer.com from Feb. 28 to March 7, the company announced.

WD-40  and SEMA Cares partnered with Trad Ronfeldt to rebuild the WD-40/SEMA Cares Custom 1951 Chevrolet 3100, which debuted at the 2021 SEMA Show at the WD-40 booth. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction will go to SEMA Cares Charities, including Childhelp, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse, the company said. The auction, scheduled for Feb. 28 – March 7, will be hosted on bringatrailer.com.

Ronfeldt — an automotive mechanic, fabricator, welder and professional off-road crew chief —designed the 1951 Chevrolet 3100 to maintain its classic look with a custom-built dually rear-end, backed by added horsepower and superior performance. Ronfeldt fabricated the truck bed from new materials to imitate the truck’s body lines to make it look like a Chevrolet production piece straight off the assembly line. In addition, the vehicle has numerous updates, including:

  • A V-8 fuel injected 383 Stoker producing 500-plus horsepower
  • Custom dually rear with widened Currie Axle
  • New suspension design
  • A restored cab interior with new upholstery and distressed leather seats
  • A custom patina paint job
  • Completely new drivetrain and transmission
