Bluefield, West Virginia, United States

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:

  • Throttle Knob and Cable
  • Choke Knob and Cable
  • New Chrome Air Cleaner Assembly and Air Element.  I kept the original Oil Bath air cleaner and it will be with the truck when sold.
  • New NOS Windshield Motor.  The original motor is included with the truck.
  • Oil Filter Element.
  • Thermostat 160 degree with new gasket
  • Glass bowl gas filter element.
  • Dome lamp lens and bulb.  Works perfectly.
  • Upper Radiator Hose and Clamps.
  • Lower Radiator Hose and Clamps.
  • Fan Belt.
  • Chrome Tailpipe Deflector.
  • Starter Wire Grommet.
  • Rear End Drain Plug.
  • Oil Pan Drain Plug.
  • Rear End Vent Tube.
  • Rear End Filler Plug.
  • Rear End Pinion Seal.
  • Rear End Cover Gasket.
  • Valve Cover Gasket.

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.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses

Thu, Apr 7 2016

May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
