YOU ARE BIDDING ON A NICELY RESTORED 1959 CHEVY APACHE TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH THE VERY RARE NAPCO (NORTHWESTERN AUTO PARTS COMPANY) CONVERSION. A LOT OF WORK BY SKILLED PROFESSIONALS HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON THIS RARE TRUCK. BELOW YOU WILL FIND A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING A "RATING" SYSTEM TO BEST DESCRIBE THE EXTENT OF THE RESTORATION AND THE OVERAL APPEARANCE OF THE TRUCK. EXTERIOR: (8/10) THE EXTERIOR OF THIS APACHE IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME MINOR BLEMISHES IN THE “MATT BLACK” PAINT. I AM CALLING IT A "8" DUE TO A FEW MINOR BLEMISHES IN THE PAINT. THE MATTE BLACK PAINT WAS COMPLETED BY A WELL KNOWN PAINT SHOP IN THE DENVER AREA A FEW YEARS AGO. THIS TRUCK WAS USED AS A DAILY DRIVER FOR A FEW YEARS SO THE PAINT HAS A FEW BLEMISHES (SEE PICTURES). AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES THE COLOR CHOSEN WAS A MATTE BLACK TO PROVIDE A RUGGED LOOK TO THIS RARE TRUCK. THE INTERIOR DASH AND DOORS ARE ALSO IN GOOD SHAPE, ALL OF THE CORRECT GAUGES ARE ACCOUNTED FOR AND WORK PROPERLY I.E. GAS GUAGE, SPEEDOMETER, OIL PRESSURE, ETC. ALL APPROPRIATE DECALS ARE ON THE CAR AND CAN BE FOUND IN THE CORRECT PLACES FROM THE FACTORY. THERE ARE MINOR CUSTOM ADDITIONS TO THIS TRUCK INCLUDING CUSTOM EXHAUST, CUTOM TAILGATE, A CUSTOM “RHINO LINED” BED COVERING AND BRAND NEW 35’ PRO-COMP TIRES. THE CHOME ON THE CAR PERFECT AND JUST FINISHED BY DENVER BUMPER IN COLORADO. THERE ARE NO DINGS OR DENTS IN THE CHROME AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT DID WHEN IT LEFT THE FACTORY. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW VERY MINOR AND TASTEFUL MODIFICATIONS TO THIS TRUCK BUT NOTHING THAT WILL DESTROY THIS VERY RARE AND GREAT CLASSIC TRUCK. ALL GLASS IS IN TACT AND IN GREAT SHAPE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A BROKEN DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW (THIS WAS BROKEN BY MY MECHANIC THAT SLIPPED WHILE CHANGING THE OIL AND HITTING THE WINDOW WITH ONE OF HIS TOOLS)L THE ENGINE IS A NUMBERS MATCHING 289 V8 AND HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REBUILT AND HAS ONLY 2000 MILES SINCE COMPLETION. INTERIOR: (8/10) THE INTERIOR IS ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE..... THE SEAT IS A BLACK LEATHER BENCH SEAT WITH ROOM FOR 3. ALL INTERIOR INSTUMENTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND ARE IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE BLACK TO MATCH THE SEAT AND THE INTERIOR OF THE CAB IS THE ORIGINAL GRAY COLOR (A GREAT COLOR COMBINATION). THIS TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND I HAVE SPENT OVER 5 YEARS AND APPROX $25,000 JUST IN THE RESTORATION. THE TRUCK COMES COMPLETE WITH ALL OF THE RECIETPS I HAVE ACCUMULATED THROGHOUT THE RESTORATION PROCESS. REST ASSURED THAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN AMAZING AND VERY RARE NAPCO EDITION CHEVY APACHE. BELOW YOU WILL FIND SOME HISTORY ON THE VERY RARE NAPCO 4X4 CONVERION KIT: NAPCO" stands for the "Northwestern Auto Parts Company" of Minneapolis, MN., though their production facility was actually Located in Plymouth, MN. I've been told that the abandoned old plant Still stands with a weathered sign posted, sadly advertising times gone by. NAPCO had been in business since 1918, and during W.W.II, they focused all their attention on projects commissioned by prime Contractors to the United States government. Mainly, this meant the production of specialized automotive parts and assemblies that could be tested on the largest proving ground in the world. After the war, the military's priorities changed, and NAPCO re-directed its vast Engineering and manufacturing experience to the production of goods for private industry, which included the production of the famous NAPCO Power-Pak 4x4 Conversion. THERE ARE FEW ORIGINAL NAPCO'S STILL AROUND TODAY AND THE ONES THAT ARE ORGINAL (LIKE THIS ONE) YOU CAN FIND AT THE FINEST AUTO AUCTIONS AROUND NORTH AMERICA AND ABROAD. THERE HAVE BEEN A HANDFULL OF NAPCO EDITION APACHES THAT HAVE SOLD AT BARRETT JACKSON AND RM AUCTIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE FETCHED ANYWHERE FROM $38-$79,000.
