1957 Napco Chevrolet 3100 Factory 4 Wheel Drive Big Back Glass With Parts Truck! on 2040-cars
Ottawa, Kansas, United States
|
Up for sale here I have a rare first year factory built 4 wheel drive 1957 Chevrolet Napco 3100 big window truck. The truck was built in the Willow Run, Michigan plant which is where a majority of the Napco trucks were built. It has a clear ks title in my name that matches the body and frame vin. It has a 235 and a 4 speed manual transmission which was the only way you could get a factory built 4wd Chevy in 57. The truck has all its original 4wd parts other than the warn locking hubs were swapped out for new powertrain products hubs at some point. The truck sits just under 7 feet tall. The truck is very solid all around but it has had the rockers replaced and the were installed incorrectly over the top of the step instead of under it. The passenger side lower fender looks to have been replaced as well and it doesn't fit that well I haven't tried to adjust it. There also appears to be some work done over the headlights where most of these trucks rust. The cab corners look nice. The doors appear to be nice and solid and open and close like they should. The steps and floor are very solid with just a few minor pinholes in them. There's no rust in the roof or window channels of the truck. The bed and tailgate are straight and solid but someone removed the wood and metal strips. The rear fenders have very minimal rust and some dings in the but are definitely usable. The front and rear bumpers are straight and usable. The rear bumper is a Redi Fit bumper that wraps around to the rear fenders and the parts truck has a Redi Fit bumper that stops short of the rear fenders so its your preference. The chrome grill has some dings in it and would need redone. The truck has 15" truck rallyes on it with one missing trim ring. The windshield is missing but the tinted big back glass is there and looks pretty good with no blistering or chips. Theres some door glass and vent glass thats in one piece but it is old and weathered and should be replaced. The 235 is disassembled but looks good and complete. The 4 speed shifts through the gears and has a new clutch in it. The transfer case also shifts properly. Theres some extra chrome door glass frames and alot of other loose parts. The truck is missing the seat, the gauges, the 3100 fender emblems, the headlight bezels, and the drivers side exterior door handle but the parts truck has all those parts. If you don't want the parts truck to save on transport costs I'll remove whatever parts you want me to and put them with the Napco. The parts truck is also a 57 Chevy 3100 but its a 2wd and it doesn't have a title or an engine. I can probably get a clear title for it if thats important to you but I haven't done it because I didn't feel the truck was a good builder due to the rust in headliner, windshield and back glass area. This truck has all the typical rust that this model truck gets from the cab forward but the bed and everything attached to it look really good. This auction is for both trucks with all the parts that I have for them and I'm selling them with no reserve. Early Napco trucks restored properly bring $45-$50k when done properly. If you need a shipping quote contact Ryan @ ASAP Transport 913-201-0133. Full payment within 7 days and a $500 deposit due through paypal within 48 hours. Thanks and good luck bidding.
I have a piece of plywood cut for the bed of the Napco so parts can be loaded in it and the parts truck will have tires that hold air for transport. I also didn't mention that I live within an hour of 3 major Chevy truck restoration parts suppliers (Jim Carter Classic truck parts, classic parts and LMC truck) so if a buyer wanted me to pick up parts for them and send them with the truck to save on shipping I can do that. I also get a 10% discount at LMC truck plus no sales tax with my account there. Only reason for selling is to fund my dream car 1967 GTX build. |

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'
Mon, Mar 17 2014As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.
2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award
Tue, Nov 17 2015It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs
Fri, Dec 6 2019General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.
