For auction is a 1959 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside pickup truck. This is a two-owner truck that has spent its entire life in the South. This truck is ready for restoration or can be customized. The following work was done:

Replaced gas tank and fuel sending unit
Performed brake work - pedal pads, master cylinder, front and rear wheel cylinders, front and rear brake hose, bottom hose, brake shoes, and fluid
Recovered the bench seat

The paperwork for this work is included in the sale. The VIN is 3B59B105875. The truck was painted, but it is not the best paint job. This is a collectible truck from the 1950's as such, there is no warranty - expressed or implied - with this truck. The truck is sold "as is." The truck is in great condition for its age, but it is a very old truck. As such, please do not expect perfection. Please note, one of the side windows is cracked. There is some rust visible and is likely more around the truck, but as you can see in the pictures, there is nothing visibly wrong with the exterior or interior of this truck.

The odometer states there are about 50,872 miles on the truck, but I do not know if this mileage is accurate or how many miles are on the truck. The engine is a 6-cylinder 235 with a 3-speed manual transmission. The truck was recently serviced and it runs. A new battery was installed and the carburetor was cleaned. There is no current safety inspection - thus this truck is not legal to drive on the road. The tires hold air, but they are rather old. The truck does have a title.

The truck is currently stored in Lancaster, Virginia - zip code 22503.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

2016 Chevy Volt zaps into the Detroit Auto Show with big improvements [w/video]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

If you need an example of how quickly the plug-in hybrid market is evolving, just take a quick glance at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. For its freshly introduced new generation at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the sedan sports extra range, better efficiency and a host of other improvements to make the vehicle even easier to live with. A big portion of the model's improvements come from Chevy's second-gen Voltec propulsion system. The updated drive unit is 12 percent more efficient and sheds 100 pounds from the scales. The battery itself also drops 21 pounds, while growing in capacity to 18.3 kilowatt hours. It gives the Volt an electric range of up to 50 miles and offers a total driving distance of over 400 miles. In addition, the new 1.5-liter engine offers estimated 41 miles per gallon fuel economy (with no battery). The significant improvement in specs are certainly respectable, but the vast majority of buyers should notice the latest Volt's evolved styling first. Up front, there's a shiny new nose with a more modern take on Chevy's split grille. From there, the design slows back to a more svelte take rear with the original model's futuristic, square taillights not making the transition. Inside, Chevy simplifies the infotainment system and now offers seating for three in the back. Check it all out in the gallery, above, to see how far the latest model has come. Chevrolet Introduces All-New 2016 Volt New model features expressive, sleek design and delivers 50 miles of EV range DETROIT – Chevrolet today unveiled the all-new 2016 Volt electric car with extended range, showcasing a sleeker, sportier design that offers 50 miles of EV range, greater efficiency and stronger acceleration. The Volt's new, efficient propulsion system will offer a General Motors'-estimated total driving range of more than 400 miles and with regular charging, owners are expected to travel more than 1,000 miles on average between gas fill-ups. "The 2016 Chevrolet Volt provides our owners with a no-compromise electric driving experience," said Alan Batey, president of GM North America. "We believe our engineering prowess combined with data from thousands of customers allows us to deliver the most capable plug-in vehicle in the industry." The 2016 Chevrolet Volt's technology and range advancements are complemented by a design that blends sculpted, muscular proportions with aerodynamic efficiency, and an all-new interior with seating for five and improved functionality.

Mon, Jan 13 2014
