1959 Chevrolet 3100 Apache pickup truck. The truck was repainted in it's original Glade Green 6 years ago. The truck runs, drives, and preforms perfectly with no known mechanical or electrical issues. The truck looks in person exactly as it appears in the photos. The truck has 55,222 true miles on it as documented. This truck can be driven any distance with confidence. I personally would not be afraid to drive the truck cross country. Hi and low beam head lights, brake lights, turn signals and tag light work perfectly. The interior dome light and dash lights work great so does all door and window handles. Truck starts up first time even after sitting for a couple of weeks. Choke works perfectly. Trucks 3 speed manual transmission shifts very smooth and effortlessly and the clutch engages as new. The brakes stop fast, straight and without noise of any kind. The truck tracts straight on the road with no pulling or vibrations. There are no squeaks or rattles. The 6 Cylinder Thrift Master 135 Horsepower engine is very smooth and responds quickly and effortlessly. The interior was refreshed also with the seat redone in original style upholstery and the bottom and back cushion were re-stuffed and set better than new. The headliner and rubber floor mat was removed and sound deadener and heat insulation was placed underneath the new mat. The bed floor was replaced with new wood planks. The sides on the bed were covered with a spray in bed liner for protection (see photo). The mileage is actual as stated on previous Tennessee title and in letter written by previous owner who has known the truck since new. Truck had never been out of Tennessee or over 50 miles from it's original home before I purchased it. The truck has new chrome wheels and wheel covers and the tires have 80% tread life remaining. The mileage on the truck (55,222) is actual and is documented by the last owner whose title shows "actual mileage" and a letter from him with a detailed history of the truck from new. I have a copy of his title stating "actual mileage" on the front and the original letter, signed by him, with the full history of the truck that will stay with the truck when sold. The following parts were recently replaced during my ownership:
Almost $300.00 in parts from Classic Truck Parts and $400.00 in labor to a well known local mechanic who specializes in these vehicles was spent installing the above replacement parts within the past 4 months. The Chassis was Lubed, Oil and Filter Changed, All Fluid Levels were checked and the Tire pressures were checked at the same time the above parts were installed. Approx. 200 miles and 4 months ago. I have receipts for parts and labor. I have a NEW (1 month old) Custom Fitted truck cover from California Car Covers that was purchased at a cost in excess of $300.00 that will also go with the truck. See Photo of Car Cover. The truck has a scratch on drivers door (see pic), small dent on Left front fender above tire (see pic), paint is 6 years old and shines like new but body was not prepped as well as should have been and there is dust and small bits of trash under the paint on the flat surfaces (mostly on hood). Some of this may buff out but I have not tried since I am very happy with the appearance. In my opinion paint is a 6 out of 10 and looks perfect at 20 feet but rough surface under paint areas show at closer distances, mostly on hood. I took photos of the hood but the rough area did not show. Good driver quality paint. Very minor windshield delamination at edge. All trim was removed during repaint and new rubber seals were installed around all windows. The truck is located at our home in Bluefield, WV 24701. It is kept covered in our garage. Reason for selling: I'm retired and recently diagnosed with a disease that makes mobility difficult and I have stopped all driving. I don't want this truck to just sit in the garage. I know I am offering the truck at a price much lower than it should sale for but the above stated reason is why. I do require an immediate $500.00 deposit through PayPal with the balance due within 7 days. The balance of the purchase price after the deposit is made must be paid by Cash or Bank Wire Transfer for the seller to be given the title at that time. If a Bank Certified Check is used I will have to hold the title until the bank notifies me that the check has cleared. The truck is being sold "as is" with no warranties or guarantees of any kind. Please feel free to call me anytime at (304) 323-3608 or email me through eBay with any questions. |

The Corvette Museum sinkhole has been filled
Wed, Feb 11 2015After swallowing eight of the most prized pieces of the collection from the National Corvette Museum, the massive sinkhole from a year ago is rapidly becoming nothing but a bad memory. Based on the museum's weekly construction update, you can barely see the remnants of the 25-foot deep hole once in the floor. The Corvette Museum's Skydome was not always going to look like this. The original hope was to keep the sinkhole there as a tourist attraction. That plan eventually fell through, though, and instead it was decided five of the less-damaged Corvettes would remain unrestored. Progress has been moving fast to get the repairs done. Even a month ago, the hole was still very visible, and the construction company used remote-controlled Bobcat loaders to fill it in. Now, the museum has launched a contest to guess how many tons of stone it took to fill in the massive crater. The winner gets a print of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil being lifted out.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
GM seeks national mandate for zero-emissions cars
Fri, Oct 26 2018DETROIT — General Motors says it will ask the federal government for one national gas mileage standard, including a requirement that a percentage of auto companies' sales be zero-emissions vehicles. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of product development, said the company will propose that a certain percentage of nationwide sales be made up of vehicles that run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells. GM says a nationwide program modeled on such a requirement in California could result in 7 million electric vehicles, or EVs, on U.S. roads by 2030. California wants 15.4 percent of vehicle sales by 2025 to be EVs or other zero emission vehicles. Nine other states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, have adopted those requirements. In January, California Governor Jerry Brown set a target of 5 million zero-emission vehicles in California by 2030. The Trump administration criticizes California's ZEV mandate, saying it requires automakers to spend tens of billions of dollars developing vehicles that most consumers do not want, only to sell them at a loss. Reuss told reporters that governments and industries in Asia and Europe "are working together to enact policies now to hasten the shift to an all-electric future. It's very simple: America has the opportunity to lead in the technologies of the future." A national mandate also would create jobs and reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and "make EVs more affordable," Reuss added. GM, the nation's largest automaker, will spell out the request Friday in written comments on a Trump administration proposal to roll back Obama-era fuel economy and emissions standards, freezing them at 2020 levels instead of gradually making them tougher. Under a regulation finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency at the end of the Obama administration, the fleet of new automobiles would have to get 36 miles per gallon by 2025, 10 mpg higher than the current requirement. But the Trump administration's preferred plan is to freeze the standards starting in 2021. Administration officials say waiving the tougher fuel efficiency requirements would make vehicles more affordable, which would get safer cars into consumer hands more quickly. GM on Thursday said it doesn't support the freeze, but wants flexibility to deal with consumers' shift from cars to less-efficient SUVs and trucks.
