Short Bed, Step Side, Glade Green, 3 Speed Manual, 6 Cyl., 55k Actual Miles on 2040-cars
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:
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. |

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
